Review of sister site at Third Movies

If you�re planning on joining ZTOD you might find my review of Third Movies useful. Third Movies, Zero Tolerance on Demand and Black Ice Pass are all part of the same network and the sites are all blended together. What I wrote about Third Movies applies here too.

I didn't download any HD stuff (but I may go back later and get some favorite scenes in HD) but I'd agree with you. All the broken links occur in videos before they started posting HD. So if you're going in to get HD only you likely won't find any broken links at all.

REVIEW REPLY by rearadmiral (141)

To TheSquirrel (30):

Thanks for your kind words. I get so many advantages from reading other's reviews here that I feel compelled to put some effort into mine so that people might find them useful. And I should add that the PU's increasing the allowable length of reviews makes it so much easier to capture everything important.

In my reply to gaypornlover, I said that the biggest problem was the sheer number of broken links, but after thinking about your comment re the wide chasm between file quality, I'm unsure which is the bigger problem. They're both bad. We can be certain that the file resolution was a conscious decision they made, and maybe it makes sense for them if most of their customers prefer mp4 files. But other sites offer HD wmv files so it can be done. And when checking file specs for the review i was really surprised to see that wmv file quality has actually decreased. That makes no sense.

But... for all its warts, I'd still recommend the site since it really does give access to a huge quantity of really well done porn. In his review last year, exotics4me stated that the site s great for those of us with a large collection of DVD porn who want to "round out your collection nicely." That's a big draw for me since this was a way to get some exclusive scenes of some favourite models that I couldn't get anywhere else.

Again, thanks for your comments.

Thanks for the comments - I'm blushing here!

To be fair, the site design is weak, but I suspect that the inability to remember passwords is just a technical glitch. The bigger problem, by far, are the broken links. It was frustrating to see a title that I'd been wanting to see for a long time only to find the link broken. So close, but yet so far! I can't imagine that the site managers don't know this problem exists. If they can't or won't fix it then they should remove the scenes from the site.

Truly excellent review. I have never joined this site as there seem to be too many negatives. I think one of the problems for me is the ultra glossy orange brown unnatural skin look. The log in and poor choice between either huge HD files or poor quality normal files is also a big negative for me.

A wonderfully comprehensive analysis, that tells you everything you need to know. PU at it's best.

A simply superb review, well done - extremely thorough and covers everything you could want to know - and gives a real insight into issues you simply don't know about until you join a site, which is the type of review which makes this site so useful.
Entering passwords constantly drives me mad - I hate it! Twice every time is ridiculous! Poor site design.

To RustyJ (116):

I'm not tech-savvy, but if possible, I think it's always a good idea to offer options. This site is known for large file sizes so having HD only would eliminate customers who have slower download speeds or bandwidth caps.

On a related note, I've discovered another issue with the site. While I've moved beyond the older material on the site (the stuff posted earliest, not necessarily produced first) I'm seeing fewer broken links. I'm downloading the highest resolution wmv files and some, though not many, of those still have broken links. I always try another resolution and sometimes the only one that works in 'AVI Xvid.' This might be a proprietary codec since it tries to download a licence from a site drm.ztod.com, which is no big deal, except that the link to download the licence is broken!!! Grrrrr...

It really looks like that these DVD sites updated to high def could give a serious competition to the regular network sites if only they focused on the good content and skipped the standard resolution updates.

I guess they want to sell physical DVD's too...

Initial thoughts on the site

I weighed all the pros and cons listed here and at TBP and took the plunge here today. It seems like a decent value but it continues the trend of studios not doing their brand any justice by having a mediocre site.

The biggest sin here, as noted by several reviewers, is that there are a lot of broken links. Exotics4me noted that you can get around that because sometimes the link to a lower resolution file is still there, but my experience is that if one link is bad, the others are too. There are whole DVDs where no scene has an active link. When that occurs a pop-up appears saying that it�s a dead link with a clickable link to report the problem. But, surprise, surprise, THAT link is broken too. I�m still working on some of the first DVDs posted when the site opened, so I�m hoping to see some improvement as I work my way through the site. But for now, I�m seeing maybe 10% of all links to be dead, which is far more than should be acceptable. Especially since the problem has existed for a long time.

As for speeds, I�m not having any problems there at all.

I�ll post a full review once I�ve downloaded and viewed more, but it does appear that this is another studio that sees the internet as a second-tier way to get their product to the customer.

To nostromo (12):

People have different standards for rating download speeds.
But 17 kps would be horrible for anyone with broadband.

When I had dial-up for many years, I would get 3-4 KB/s as my normal download speed, sometimes slowing to 1 KB/s.

Upgrading to DSL, I got 120-130 KB/s.
I recently upgraded my DSL to 620-630 KB/s.

But to download a full-length movie in decent quality would take over 24 hours for 17 kbs. (I don't know how long it would take exactly, because it depends on the quality, but many movies are around 700 MB or more). Video clips from porn sites can be 1 GB or more.

Anyway, people have complained about the download speeds at this site before, off and on. Sometimes the speeds are fast, sometimes they are slow. But never this slow before.

You should email the site and ask for a refund or free extension of your membership as compensation for the poor service you have gotten.
That is only reasonable. And right.

If you don't get a free extension of your membership, you should demand a refund, from your billing agent. Or credit card company. Or whoever.

17 kbs is ridiculous (unless you are on dial-up, which I assume you are not).

Edit: You aren't on dial-up, because you mention 200 kbs speed.

Extremely slow download speeds in their three sites.

I'm talking about 17 kps. There are some files that you can download at over 200 kps (which isn't something to write home about); but, for the most part, you get lousy download speeds.

Aside from that the site is great. It is worth joining if the aforementioned doesn't bother you too much.

I'm not currently a member but was some time ago of this and the other two bonus sites: Black Ice Pass and Zero Tolerance on Demand. My impression then and now, after checking the free tour, is that they release full DVDs at most a month after they hit the streets and all but compilations end up being available.

You may check for yourself. Go to Adult DVD Empire, choose DVD tab at the top and look for Third Degree Films sutdio at the bottom right. Comparing the Release date sorting at Adult DVD Empire and at Third Movies, it looks like the 3 most recent non-Compilation physical DVDs still haven't been released at Third Movies but all others on the first page are already fully available at Third Movies.

Answering your other question, Third Movies' free tour hints they are releasing full DVDs and they were doing so back when I was a member but checking bonus site Zero Tolerance On Demand's free tour, it looks like they are releasing the various scenes in a DVD on different days.

Does this site release all the 3rd Degree films?

I've been disappointed with quite a many studio sites that release ojnly part of the material through the site or just keep a slow steady trickle of updates coming through so that a whole film takes 4-5 updates.

Do these guys release their films at one go and when they come out on DVD/Bluray as well?

Hello Rusty,

Thanks for your reply and the hint with 21Sextury, which I take as a warning (This would have been otherwise my next journey). I have actually downloaded several hundred videos from Thirdmovies. Not a single one worked properly indeed. The content looks great, but is totally worthless to me and I am afraid, there is something really fishy here.

Cannot confirm but that sounds like the corrupted videos from 21Sextury. Have you tried reloading the broken video? If you reload and they freeze at the same spot again, then they are probably broken already at their end. If you get working ones or ones broken in some other place, then it's probably the server corrupting them somehow.

The good news is, they have updated this site in the last few days, so it is at least still active. As I mentioned to atrapat, I would steer clear of their tour page as it is not close to accurate. It says 4,500 DVDs, 25,000 scenes and 5 new DVDs per day. By my count on the three sites combined they don't have 1/4th that much content and haven't even added 5 new DVDs in the last 3 weeks let alone in a day. Still, the content they have is very good. Just makes you wish they would be a little more upfront about how much content they have and how much (little) they update.

I still consider the site Third Movies as a place where you get a lot of exclusive content - normally not found at either VideosZ (or VideoBox, that has SOME, though).
AND you also get (with Third Movies): Zero Tolerance - with quite a lot of fine euro-models, too!

Well, thanks for the reply. Things are working better but I'm not convinced everything is back to normal. HD downloads are not working with my DL manager, meaning that DL speeds take about five times longer.

I'm not a computer whiz nor do I have any clue as to how to run a website, but things like servers getting overloaded seem like a common enough technical problem that shouldn't disable a site for more than 6-12 hours let alone six days.

I think this is a great site that's way ahead of the curve in terms of quality, but the last five or six days seem to be an indication that server capacity is not ready to support these large files. Maybe hold off on converting those old movies to Hi-def until you are sure the servers can support it.

Again the hi-definition is amazing, but it doesn't do any good if it takes 90-120 minutes to enjoy it.

That's a really good point about the network biting off more than they can chew. I'm not very educated on bandwidth usage, servers and whatever else it takes to run a functioning site, but it is becoming increasingly clear that they don't have it.

At this point I would designate this site as under construction and to avoid signing up.

I tend to agree with this and your previous comment. I dunno what is happening with this network at the moment. I only joined the network to have a nosey at the HD vids after being a member without download probs before there was any HD on the sites. I am going to have to give up on the HD movies here, because it is more beneficial to use my download time elsewhere at much faster speeds.

For me ZTOD is having the same problems as well. Failed downloads and slow download speed. Both the 1080 and 720 quality MP4 files take forever, downloading 4 at once and each file is about 100kb/s is quite pathetic. The only files which download without problems and better speed are the lower quality avi and wmv.

Maybe they have bitten off more than they can chew at the moment with the HD vids. Its a shame because the only main downers of this site I can see is the overall download speed of the big vids and the infrequent updates.

Defunct Downloads!

Over the past four days or so I have been having serious issues with downloads at the third movies network. At first, the issue was only with downloading the hi-def movies but now it's with every file. I've tried to troubleshoot the problem by disabling my DL manager, using a different web browser, etc. with no luck! Now when I click to DL my browser completely freezes up!

I'm not going to breakout in expletives here, but I am fucking pissed!!! This network has some of the highest quality movies on the net, but what good is it when you can't watch them? Really?

I've submitted several complaints over the last few days with NO response. I would ask for a refund but with the customer support at this site, what chance do I have? Oh well, I paid for a month and got about fifteen days worth of a functioning site.

Is this just an isolated case? Anyone else a member at Third having issues?

Hi Def Downloads Have Slowed Down

As of yesterday downloading HD quality content on the Third Movies network has slowed to a crawl. I'm currently seeing DL speeds of 100-350 kb/s, making the enormous 1GB+ files take well over an hour to complete. Also, it appears DL managers are no longer being supported. However, this slow down does not seem to affect any lesser quality file types as they remain at a speedy 1.8 - 2 mb/s.

Any other members experiencing this?

I submitted my complaint/question to customer support, but for now it's poor quality vids for me....sucks!

Great post! I was just checking the tour of the site wishing they offered a trial option. I was a member close to a year ago and I know they don't update too often so maybe I can try and snag all the new content in under 48 hours!

Do you remember how the DL speeds were for you?

Full Trial

I like Third, Zero Tolerance and their little network of sites including: ZTOD.com, 3rd, BlackIce. I was a member for one month and I now see that a 2 day full trial is available!

It looks like all three sites are included also in the trial.

Worth checking out, I might take the opportunity to re-join for a cheap trial and download the best recent updates.

2 Day Trial - $3.95
Full Access Trial Membership - HD included

An issue that has NOT been resolved - inconsistent updates.

At this point, the last update was on 9/18/08. There are times when they are adding a new DVD every couple of days. There are other times when there are long periods of time between updates.

Great Site - many of the older issues seem to have been resolved

I would have written a complete review, but the others have covered almost everything, so I'll just add a couple of updates.

DRM - there are still some files that have DRM on them, but of the 100+ scenes I downloaded I only found maybe 5 that still had DRM (mostly in older videos).

DL Speed - I know that there have been a few complaints, but I don't see a problem. My average DL speed is 400kb/sec. That compares very well to Video Box, for example, where I average less than 200kb/sec.

Updates - I've been a member for less than a month, and given the number of movies already on the site it will be a while before I have to worry about that. When I do, I'm sure I'll agree with the people who complain about the lack of regular updates.

Sound issues - no one has mentioned this before, but I've found that the sound isn't in sync with the video on many of the scenes. It isn't off by much, but enough to be annoying.

Over all, this site is well organized and worth the money. Yes, I know that some have complained about the cost, but Third is an excellent studio and it is worth it. Bundled with Zero Tolerance makes it an amazing value. If Third and Zero are to your liking, you can build an impressive collection quickly.

I give full marks to studios like this who make good movies, and then make them available on the net at a reasonable price with no DRM. I only hope that this business model continues to get picked up by other studios.

I agree on your CON. If you want to be a member for more than a month the unconsistent updates are a problem. I was only a member for a month and I kept busy downloading during the whole month.

I guess these sites just release their own produced stuff when it's ready, their main market is probably the retail DVD rental/sale market, they have certain times when more stuff is released.

The sites that buy/licence stuff from lotsa studios/distributors can buy content in bulk and drip feed releases in steady pace.

You do indeed get access to Black Ice as well as ZTOD if you join Third Movies.

The one con that I see in this deal is inconsistency of updates.

There are times when new DVD's are added every couple of days and there are times when new DVD's aren't added for a week or more.
