Movie Downloads And Suitable Alternatives

By Leigh Simmons

Internet movie downloads have in recent years come in very popular demand. New movies, old movies, black and white, still in theaters, almost any movie you can think of is available for download on the Internet due to this popular demand. However this growing rate of what some would call piracy is subject to criticism by many authorities, and therefore calls for an alternative. In addition to being able to download movies, you can also stream them straight to a new browser window.

To start, there are many ways to access movie downloads. From softwares on the Internet to special Web sites with ever-growing archives, movie downloads are readily available to those with the know-how and the will to find them. Many use Bit Torrents and certain programs to get their music and movie downloads, programs that pull content from their users in order for other users to gain access to them.

There are also Web sites that allow you to download movies straight from the Web, movies that have been put there by a host or multiple hosts. These movies are usually free to download, unless you are using certain pay services which usually come at minimal monthly costs and allow you to view movies online or to have them shipped to your home.

Downloading movies online can take up a lot of your time depending on your Internet connection and the size of the file(s) you are downloading. It can take hours just to download one movie. To save time, one might consider streaming movies.

Video streaming is highly effective if you find a good site to provide the video. All you really need is an Internet connection and a decent browser. Through some Web sites (which can be found easily through search engines) you can find movies and television programs free, fast and easy if they are available. Not only is streaming free and easy, it is also perfectly legal.

Downloading movies is frowned upon by some people and most authorities. Streaming, however, is legal due partially to the fact that most streamed movies are streamed through foreign Web sites. These streamed movies are even in some cases streamed through multiple foreign sites.

Some streaming Web sites will only allow you to watch a certain amount of the film before pausing for a set amount of time. This will be an attempt to get you to sign up for full membership with the streaming site. If you do not wish to sign up with the Web site for full membership but you wish to return to viewing right away, you can usually refresh the page and skip ahead to where you were in the film. If you cannot do so, you can still go get a snack and take care of some minor business before returning to the film in the short period of time set aside as determined by the streaming site.

In brief, streaming can be a useful alternative to movie downloads for those of you who would like a free, easy and safe method of watching movies online.

Movies And MP3

Movies and MP3 files are already compressed with near maximum capacity. Repacking them would just create larger files and increase decompression time. Ripped movies are still packaged due to the large file size, but compression is disallowed and the RAR format is used only as a container. Because of this, modern playback software can easily play a release directly from the packaged files, and even stream it as the release is downloaded (if the network is fast enough).

MP3 and music video releases are an exception in that they are not packaged into a single archive like almost all other sections. These releases have content that is not further compressible without loss of quality, but also have small enough files that they can be transferred reliably without breaking them up. Since these releases rarely have large numbers of files, leaving them unpackaged is more convenient and allows for easier scripting. For example, scripts can read ID3 information from MP3s and sort releases based on those contents.
