Pros:

Tons of clips and videos.

Good search with great choices to narrow the field to what you are looking for.

Good Price.

Cons:

Clips in HD (1280 x 720 3100 kbps) and in lesser resolution (720 x 480 2100 kbps) are not up to net standards even though the technical details say they should be.

I found it quite easy to do a side by side comparison of the HD material because it was sitting on my hard drive already, downloaded from another site. I did not expect exclusive material but HD clips from one extraneous site only, and that for a premium price?

Despite the fact that there is a large amount of material subscribers should be aware that clips can range anywhere from 3 minutes to 30+ minutes.

Updates may come with regularity but consist of clips rather than DVDs. You always take a gamble with the updates themselves because the streaming is of terrible quality. I have yet to watch a streaming clip (HD excepted) where the picture isn't blurry and one has to wait until one has finished downloading a clip to see what the quality is really like. Cont'd below:

Bottom Line:

There is no consistency when it comes to the date the latest clip was produced either. One would expect that a brand new update means a fairly recent production date but that is seldom the case.

Download speed varies wildly. I got only one fifth of my normal speed with this site and on the "old" site the speed was ridiculous at something like 64 KB/s.

The layout of the home page looks cluttered and confusing.

Clips are not exclusive. This is something to be expected, so I won't count this when it comes to the score.

Bottom line: Not one of the better Video sites in my estimation. If one counted all the clips added to the site during the average day it would amount to no more than a full DVD, or DVD and-a-half!

I did find some niche content I hadn't seen before but there's not too much of it in any of the niches that lie outside the mainstream.

This site made me regret the join from the moment I first logged in. Not only is the quality not very good but there is something outdated and "off" about it. Other video/DVD sites have advanced way past what this site has to offer.

Not a pleasant experience and I am really sorry I took the three months offer because of the HD content. I swore in the past I would never do that again but the price sounded so right! Sigh, not recommended.

1	graymane (27)	Golly, Messmer.....I'm a bit surprised you didn't like this site. I've been a continued member for over ten years, and although changes made have been unappealing, the overall quality for the money still stands head an' shoulders above any others to which I've been a member Rageing Buddist ( a pretty savvy reviewer) gave this guy a 90's+ rating. well, rest easy the cost was little more than pocket change.	11-30-10 06:56pm Reply To Message
2	messmer (137)	REPLY TO #1 - graymane : I knew I'd get a comment from you, graymane, because I had read your review carefully before I decided to take the leap and knew that you liked the site a lot. I really don't know if it is the resolution we use on our monitors, but for me every video I've looked at in streaming so far has looked blurred. And the downloaded HD content was honestly and truly not as good as the identical scenes I had on my hard drive already. Same with the other downloaded material, similar scenes from VideoBox and Videosz, as well as from the now defunct American Vice, all looked crisper by comparison on MY monitor. I wonder if it is the (mostly) .avi format they are using? I find scenes done in mp4 generally sharper, with wmv taking second place but I guess what it always boils down to is individual, subjective taste. I thought I was being very fair in my assessment but I am sure there are many others like you who would disagree. Happens to me at "Oscars" time as well, I usually dislike the most highly awarded movies and go for the stuff the critics deplore. So don't let my low score upset you. :-)	11-30-10 07:16pm Reply To Message
