Search Hard For A Good Movie Download Site To Join

By Lenore Cummings

Going for movie downloads is a more convenient way of enjoying blockbusters nowadays. Because of the internet, now you got other means of getting titles aside from renting or purchasing DVD copies. Through this, you need not step out of the house and drive elsewhere. But before signing up for a site providing this convenience, there are some thing you need to take note of.

One website may have a different mode of payment from another. Although it's not unlikely that a particular site will offer several modes of payment. When picking the kind of payment, consider the frequency of your movie watching. Can you afford to watch a movie daily? Or perhaps once or two movies weekly?

Some sites will require you to pay a fixed rate, either per month or per year. However, there are those where you pay only for each title that you buy and download. Before getting a subscription, weigh the pros and cons. Will it be cheaper than actually renting a movie or buying a DVD? Will you be able to take full advantage of the payment you will make?

The number of titles which you can purchase from a site will depend on how many film outfits they work with. Some may have very few mainstream titles, but more independent flicks. But if the website works with many major outfits at the same time, you can be assured of the variety of films to choose from.

To ensure that your downloads will not strain your eyes, check the quality of available movies. There are a couple of ways to do that. First, note the size of the screen resolution. This is usually done in pixels. Some common examples are: 320 x 240 pixels, 640 x 480 pixels, 1024 x 768 pixels, etc.

Then there's also the bitrate which you should also note. Usually, it's expressed in bps - that stands for bits per second. But sometimes it's in kbps - kilobits per second. If everything is beginning to look too technical now, fret not. Just remember: for both screen resolutions and bitrates, the higher their numbers, the better quality they are. It's that simple.

Check how many current members a webpage has. For sure it will tell something about the quality of services offered by the site. Of course movie buffs will flock to websites that will satisfy their needs, more than just joining in based on popularity. Besides, it's what makes these sites popular in the first place: good service.

Security is another issue you need to be wary of. And by security, it means both on the files you download and online payment methods. Some files you get online may come with adwares, trojans, malwares, etc. These can harm your computer. But most legal sites are free of such threats. Payment through credit card or online banking must be guaranteed secured as well by the site.

Last but not the least, check the flexibility given by the website regarding your movie downloads. Will you be able to transfer and watch your purchase on another gadget? Will you be allowed to burn them on a DVD so you can free some space on your hard drive? Some websites will give you leeway, while others may not.
