-Support pages still focus on DRM but there's currently no DRM. |
| Bottom Line: |
I was willing to try some HD and this site seemed the place to start: top US stars, a fairly large collection, decent price and no download limits. I really liked Zero Tolerance On Demand and its twin sites Black Ice Pass and Third Movies. I think other porn studios should follow their example: offer online all the content from their DVDs as soon as they are released physically, couple it with a powerful search engine and a plethora of download options at good speeds. It's a great idea to make the free tour work exactly like the members area; only sites who deliver are able to do that.
Search engine is very well thought-out and it gets you some powerful searches. You can, for instance, easily search for scenes that don't have a particular act you don't give a damn but have those two you wish all scenes had. I only missed that HD was not a keyword once you were in a particular star: you have to rely on a small HD logo on each scene to tell them apart. Metadata, though, is not perfect; for instance, even though you get access to other DVDs in the series, you don't get any info on who the director is so, if you want to find more scenes shot by the same guy, you have to rely on the always handy iafd.
Except for some color scheme and design differences, all three sites work exactly the same. The main drawback is probably that each studio still has its own site and search engine. When willing to watch all the scenes from a particular model, you have to go through three different searches and, likely, three different logins. Perhaps Black Ice Pass all-black scenes are a niche on their own but the differences between Third Movies and Zero Tolerance On Demand are almost non-existent. Maybe Third Movies is a little less hardcore? Zero Tolerance On Demand has a 1% lower percentage of MILFs?
Apart from integrating all three sites once and for all, another thing they should look into are the photo galleries. I'd like to know who shoots their DVD covers and movie stills because they do a terrific job: girls look as good as in any glamour photography site. It's a pity that they end up offering the pictures only at 900x600 and there's no way to get a resolution higher than 506x350 for the DVD covers. It doesn't make much sense to have those pictures at such resolutions when the video scene frame is almost twice as big.
I had no problem opening files in VLC media player but it was funny to see that their support pages don't offer any help regarding how to play HD files and they go to great lengths explaining the intricacies of DRM while there doesn't seem to be any DRM files and, it seems, they went DRM-free several years ago.
If you are curious, I'd strongly recommend that you give the site a try even if it's only the free section. If you are into US stars you'll sure find something that will catch your eye. |

| Pros: |
Quality is great. If you want to see your porn in HD quality, this site has so much. Chicks from almost all shapes and sizes are hot. I'd say that it's a hardcore mainstream level. Meaning, no crazy ass sex. The only extreme I've seen where threesomes and no swallowing or something that you can hardly say is a facial. The High quality indeed. with such a great library of high quality porn, you get an additional two site access. The same great quality with just one price. The three sites have been their for a long time and the quality seems to get better and better... |
| Cons: |
... but the downloading doesn't seem to get better. Maybe it's the size of the files, but the speed should be improved. Constantly have to re-type passwords if your using Mozilla's tabs. Other than that, that's all I can remember.
This maybe a problem for some... the sizes of the files are huge. Were talking about gigabytes than megabytes. So make room or choose a lower quality for their great videos.
The navigations is ok to good. No problems other than looking for some porn stars which they have, but seems to keep missing during the search. |
| Bottom Line: |
Bottom line, mainstream hardcore vids and pics are the best for quality.
Only problem is the downloading speed. I will be canceling this membership until it can speed up. THE SPEED IS SLOW AT BEST. |

| Pros: |
ZTOD Girls and Films are Ding Dong. Ding Dong, means you don't get better than this. If you want to be a successful Porn site, the forumla is quite simple, Quality of Content, Quantity of Content, Quality of Service and a reasonable price. Guess what, ZTOD does all of this except the Quality of Service. |
| Cons: |
I have a 20Mb (i've checked and that is wht it says verbatim) internet service which when speed tested is on average 8-14Mbps (i've checked and that is wht it says verbatim) when i've been downloading from ZTOD and since I joined the highest download rate on an average 500MB file is 80.2KB/sec (i've checked and that is wht it says verbatim on the 'Transfer rate' field of the dialogue window) , meaning each download seems to be taking 1 to 2 hours. I've managed to download from other sites with similar quality content, 1GB download files in 15-20 minutes. I have no other negative thing to say.
Just one other thing though, there are other reviews that imply DRM because the reviews are so old. ZTOD DO NOT USE DRM. |
| Bottom Line: |
Join this site if you like beautiful girls prepared to give you beautiful sex to watch. Layout is good, not the only site doing this kind of thing, but they layout the content well, let you click on stars names to see all their scenes.
The reason they don't get a higher score, slow downloads.
But to end on a good thing said, they had DRM, then they listened to their Members (respect) and removed it. NOW there's a FIRST, and I praise them for that.
DING DONG to the Girls, they are beautiful. I wish I knew someone who worked there. I'd drive them to work every day.
This is an update. Since writing this review, I've been checking the download rates (meaning I'm currently downloading stuff) and it has been improving. I also noticed that at one stage I was able to use the same session and kick off 6 downloads. The time was still around the same. just over an hour for an average 500MB file.
I just wanted to add another note which is that the Video quality looks grainy. more than others. Haven't worked out why, but I'm sure it's their way of getting the big screen effect without making the files too big.
Still Superb. As I've said earlier I joined private.com which really upset me and joined ZTOD.com to make myself feel better. It worked. Excellent Site.
I've changed my score from 85 to 87 as a result. I hope that's allowed. |

*Newbie reviews and ratings don't count toward a site's overall score/rank until the user reaches the Rookie status level (5 points). This rule is needed to help prevent fake (or heavily biased) profiles and reviews.
