Movie Downloads And Streaming Video Sites

By Warren Campos

Many people in today's society take advantage of online movie downloads. The movies that are downloaded come from many sources on the Internet. The movies downloads range from black and white and even silent films to new releases that are still in theaters. While downloading these seems like a really exciting alternative to paying the price of a movie ticket or a rental fee, it is probably useful to know some other ways to watch movies for free.

First, let us explore the download possibilities. There are many programs out there that allow you to download movies, whether they come from the Internet or from fellow software users. Bit Torrents and certain special programs allow you to download movies from your peers (those who have also downloaded the same software). Some Programs access an ever-growing archive of music and video from their users, allowing access to all members from all members who wish to allow access.

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.

Movie streaming, when done so through a trustworthy Web site, can be highly effective and cost you nothing or close to it. Just like with movie downloads, you need a decent browser and internet connection, however the time you spend waiting will not be for the movie download (which may or may not work) to finish, rather, it will be for another few minutes of viewing to load (if your connection is slow). Certain streaming Web sites will allow you to find movies and your favorite television shows quickly and easily, simply by typing an entry into the search bar. Most of these streaming Web sites can be found by word of mouth or by a search on your favorite search engine.

The most attractive trait of streaming for some is the fact that it is in no way illegal, as opposed to some movie downloads. You are not actually breaking any laws in watching streamed movies as most are streamed through foreign Web sites. While the sites may be in a language you cannot understand, the movies will still be in English, sometimes with subtitles for the native language of the site, however these do not hinder the viewing experience.

On occasion, streaming sites will stop your progress in the movie you are watching in order to persuade you into becoming a full-time member of their site. If you choose not to do so, you can either refresh the browser or wait out the brief period of time set aside by the site. Refreshing the page will in some cases be ineffective, however in some cases it will give you another period of time in which to finish the movie, somewhat fooling the site. All you have to do is skip back ahead to where you were and you will be able to finish your movie if this trick works.

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.
