The Catalog

Probably the most important characteristic of a movie service (aside from price) should be the quality of the catalog. While upon first glance I found several titles I immediately wanted (Harry Potter, Live Free or Die Hard, and the nostalgic Back to the Future), I also found that you cannot always find what you want ("Goonies" produced no results). Of course, you cannot expect to always find what you want all the time (I very often cannot find movies in my local video rental store either, especially older titles that aren't very popular) - but they definitely have most of the newest popular titles in stock. "Back to the Future" (1985) is a good example of one of those old movies that they do have (it's practically a classic). While they don't state the exact size of the catalog, they do mention Thousands of movies and "Over 1500 DVD quality" , which leads me to believe they stock at least 4000 movies or more if you examine the ratio of movies that they offer in DVD format to those that aren't. Of course, that is just a guess.

The Formats

There are four different formats, with differing quality levels and download sizes. They are briefly summarized here.

iPOD Format

The resolution of these movies will be around 320x176 at 25fps, and are encoded using h264 at around 250kbps (this type of encoding is done to ensure it will be compatible with your iPod or iPhone). File sizes will be around 300MB or so.

PDA Format

This format is aimed at people with regular PDAs (PocketPC, Windows Mobile, Palm, etc) that are capable of playing multimedia files. The resolution is around 320x172 (or 320x128) and is encoded between 120-175kbps. A typical file download will be between 250MB-430MB or so.

DivX Format

Probably the most wanted format, DivX is a very popular encoding that provides a good balance between quality and file size. While the quality isn't as good as DVD, this may not matter for most people (me included). If you are interested in watching a movie a few times or burning it to DVD, you will probably want to download this format. The resolution can be one of several: a small survey found movie resolutions of various sizes between 592x238 to 592x324 at either 23, 25, or 29 fps. Typical bitrates are between 500-700kbps, which results in a file size between 700MB to 1.3GB.

DVD Format

This is the same resolution one would find on the original DVD with quality "almost like" the original DVD. If you are interested in having the highest quality and surround sound (say, for your home theater system), you'll want this version. Resolutions can be found of various sizes between 720x255 and 720x392. Encodings are also at varying fps values (23,25) at rates between 800-1230kbps+. File sizes will usually fall between 1.5GB to over 2GB.

I have been asked several times about any sites that offer movie downloads that aren't prohibitively expensive, and until recently, such a site simply didn't exist. However, LoadedMovies recently premiered as a new competitor and is taking the scene by storm. LoadedMovies is a movie download blog that works similarly to many of the music download sites reviewed here at SongBoom, except that they sell movies (DVD quality, DivX, or for your iPod, iPhone, or PDA) for prices ranging from $1.99 to $4.99 depending on the chosen format.

No more broken links and error codes. Have you ever set up a download before you have gone to bed? You rest your laptop on the table and go to bed knowing that you will have the latest Hugh Grant film ready for you when you wake up. Saturday morning arrives and you set up your computer to watch the latest film on your computer, only to find that the file link broke only minutes after you went to bed.

Illegal downloads are illegal which means no one is watching the quality of the file. When customers pay for the movie downloads it is someone's job to make sure they get what they pay for. I couldn't count how many times a movie has been ruined by skipping and jumping or a loose of audio. So to ensure that you get a good quality file, make sure you use a legal movie download website like LoadedMovies.com

Virus!!! When you download anything online you are unaware what it actually is until you open the file. Whn you download illegal films and movies you leave yourself open to Internet criminals that after more than the latest Drew Barrymore movie. If these criminals insert a virus, bug or worm into the file, they may be able to watch your every move. That includes banking, email and shopping online.
