Movie download websites are on a massive growth trajectory.
The rapid spread of broadband access in the home, combined with the acceptance by the big Hollywood studios that the internet is a huge channel for movie distribution, has finally resulted in the growth of legal movie download websites. This access is provided with the blessing of studios like 20th Century Fox, Disney, Miramax, MGM, Warner Bros and Paramount just to name a few. With this sort of support there is likely to be massive growth in the movie download trend. Nollywood
How does it work?
Simple really! You sign up at reputable website that covers the movies that are of your taste, download your choice and enjoy on your home cinema system.
Most movie download websites also provide you with the ability to burn the movie onto CD or DVD and add it to your permanent library of movies. The one key thing you'll need to ensure is, that your DVD player reads a format called DivX. Most downloaded movies comply with this compression format which retains both the quality of the image and audio while providing a huge reduction in file size. Depending on the speed of your broadband connection you should be able to pull a movie through within 2 to 8 hours.
The big studios know, that pricing has to be competitive with the equivalent product available for example as a DVD or a music CD. This has clearly been taken on by the industry and in most cases the price of a downloaded movie is slightly less than the equivalent DVD from your local store. One of the big advantages of this model of doing business is the elimination of the need to visit or have DVDs posted to you from stores in order to enjoy a movie. Now you can simply download (make sure you have enough space on your computer hard-drive) burn to disc and enjoy the movie.
This trend is destined to grow and as it does so will squeeze out the illegal peer to peer movie sharing sites. These sites do not support, nor have the support of any of the studios and in reality do little to progress the legitimate sites that provide high quality, rapid access to a massive range of titles.
