REVIEW = 60 by sting (0)

Pros:
* Good variety of Czech girls that you will not ordinarily see on other sites.
* Reasonably easy to navigate your way through it.

Cons:
* Downloads are painfully slow.
* Don't use the fast forward whjen trying to preview videos because it just stalls or will not work.
* What's worse, when you d/l a video, you still can't fast forward; the video playback just stalls.
* Difficult to preview the videos to know what to d/l because fast-forward doesn't work.
* The scenes are fairly ho-hum: just straight sex and sometimes anal without any real sense of excitement or erotica.

Bottom Line:
There are much better sites than this (for teen sex) and just too many problems with previewing videos and even downloading them to recommend Seventeen Video. Also, Videobox is now offering their videos, so definitely check them out before joining Seventeen Video because it's cheaper and none of the problems of downloading or previewing the videos.

REVIEW = 80 by pat362 (235)

Pros:
-They have over 2000 videos to choose from.
-They have a good breakdown of the content in each video so that it makes it easy to find all the videos with that particular niche.
-Content is dated.
-They update with at least one new video a day.
-They have one of the largest selection of models to chose from.
-Most of the videos can be downloaded in low, medium and high quality. Since I only downloaded the medium ones then those appear for the most part to be 480x360.
**you get access to club seventeen(see con)**

Cons:
**You get access to club seventeen with your membership but since club seventeen is a pics only site and this is it's video equivalent then you arent really getting 2 sites for one membership.
-Many of their models are not under the name we know them so it requires a lot morte research to find content and identify it.
-A large part of their older content isn't very good.
-Difficult to tell how much of their content is available elsewhere but I did find a couple of their videos on videobox without looking too hard.

Bottom Line:
-I found a few videos that are worth keeping but the percentage of them versus the total amount available is quite tiny. I'm not disapointed that I joined but I don't think it's site that I'll ever join again.

-The site should satisfy those who enjoy a wide variety of sex scenes from solo, lesbian and hardcore starring the same model. I found that many of their models appear in more than one video doing different type of sex scene.

REVIEW = 80 by RonnyO (8)

Pros:
- Hot girls
- Regular updates
- Videos from at least the past year or so are available in very good quality
- Tons of exclusive content

Cons:
- Poor navigation
- No model search
- No screenshot previews
- Older videos have poor resolution/bitrate
- Throttled downloads (see below)

Bottom Line:
[Edit] I've adjusted my score down because I feel the quality of the site is slipping. Updates are slowing down - there is now only one half-movie per week, and even that seems unreliable. Add in its hefty price tag (in US$), and it's simply not as good an experience as it once was.

-- Original Review --

This is the main video website for Video Art Holland, one of the most renowned and venerable teen-porn producers in Europe.

The site releases one DVD-length movie per week, almost all of which is new exclusive content. Once in a while, a new movie will contain previously released content, but that's not necessarily a bad thing (see below).

The models are generally hot, often amateurish-looking, and look like they're having a lot of fun. Many of the sets have this bright-color, home-setting theme that adds to the "teenie" feel. The content overall is exceptional, well-produced, and full of hot girls.

That said, the list of cons is long, even if each con is somewhat minor.

First, the movies are grouped by DVD title and series name, making it pretty much impossible to search by a particular model, theme, or type of action (hardcore, lez, solo, etc.). You literally need to go through every series and movie to find the scenes you want; there's a free-text search, but it's not very helpful.

Second, there's a huge dropoff in video bitrate/resolution for movies prior to a certain date. This is unfortunate, because some of their best and hardest-to-find content is from that period. Once in a while, a new release will include a scene or two from these older movies, in which case the quality is up to their current standard for new releases, but these are somewhat rare and unpredictable.

Third, full scenes are generally split into two or three downloads. This itself wouldn't be such an issue, but the site is set up to allow only one or two downloads at a time, which is an extreme annoyance. Combined with the fact that there aren't screenshot or mini-segment previews, this potentially means a lot of time wasted downloading something you don't actually like.

Finally, the new releases over the past year or so have been a bit light on hardcore, b/g content for my taste. More to the point, the majority of new b/g scenes tend to be with the same models - which is great if you like them, but most of the freshest, newest models they find stick exclusively with solo or lesbian action.

With such a long list of cons, this may sound like a negative review, but the cons only really stand out because the overall content is so good. Although expensive (price is denominated in euros), you really can't get this fine content anywhere else except from their DVD store. Overall, a fantastic site with incredible, exclusive content.

REVIEW = 77 by MargulisAZ (84)

Pros:
An insane amount of movies to download.
Nice previews of the next few weeks updates.
Video quality is great on the new videos.
A lot of attractive amateur models.
Exclusive content.
Discount through TBP.

Cons:
Poor site navigation.
Can only download one movie at a time.
Downloads are not very fast.
No full movie options.
No video previews for videos EXCEPT for future update videos, and videos on preview area of non member section. Explained below.
Minimal thumbnail pics for videos.
High price.

Bottom Line:
So I am literally slowly downloading from this site right now and thought I would write a review. Yes, you can only download 1 video at a time no matter what, download manager or no. And there are no full videos, so you have to download every part (usually 8-10) one at a time per video.

Each video does NOT have a preview video. Yes, when you go through the preview section of the NON members area, you see preview videos of the recently released movies. In the members section, once a video has been released, there is no longer a video preview, only about 8-10 thumbnail pics to give you an idea of what a full dvd movie contains. There are preview videos of the soon to be released movies on the site (usually 3), but as I said, once they are released, preview vids are gone. Why? That is the most frustrating thing about this site because it's a total guessing game whether or not to download a movie. When you have 1 single picture representing 10+ minutes of video, there is no way to tell whether it's worth your time to download or not. Even then, it took me over 2 hours to download one movie one file at a time, and that's the only option you have.

This site has amazing potential, but it is not fully realized. There is an unreal amount of original content, and quality content, but the navigation and downloads are so cumbersome that it really takes so much away. A few fixes and this site could be great, but as it is, it is only somewhat above average.

REVIEW = 85 by aesop7 (10)

Pros:
-some beautiful girls
-some good hardcore scenes
- has a definite personality
- most of the guys are on the young side, not just the girls

Cons:
- one download at a time, folks. Download managers don't seem to work, and if you try to even download 2 scenes at once, they slow down to nothing.
- Can't even browse the site while you're downloading
- Have to login every half hour or so

Bottom Line:
If this looks like your thing, just be prepared to spend a LOT of time and energy to get these scenes.
[Personally, I just don't think it's worth it with so many other good sites out there. BUT, don't get me wrong, it's only frustrating because there's a LOT of good content here, I just won't be able to get that much of it in the month I'll be a member for.]
OK, I've had a few days to watch some of these videos, and I've changed my mind - they ARE worth the trouble. Some really great scenes here, esp. Best of Seventeen Series. I recommend.

[You're best off going for the movies that offer the "full" resolution instead of "high", there's a big difference.] But some of the older scenes, only offered in "high" are great scenes, and at 600k they look fine, and some others say "high" not "full", but play at 2000k and look incredible!

A couple of tips: IE seems to work much better than Firefox; If you start to download and get a connection speed of 100k or less, cancel and start again, you should get 250-500. Just have to hit it at the right time, I guess.

UPDATE: If you're joining, be sure to get: teeny hot spots 2 scenes 4, 5 and 14; young teens 02 and 06; All the Best of Seventeen.

REVIEW = 85 by OneMan (27)

Pros:
The higher quality vids are pretty good at >2000kbps.
Subject material excellent - I'm personally a big fan so I cannot fault it.

Some vintage stuff from the '70s etc on the site also.

Updates only ONE video per week - look to be at highest available quality.

Cons:
Club Seventeen have literally thousands of DVD's across a number of series. Unfortunately - on this site you don't get access to more than a fraction of them.

Example: Teeners from Holland, has over 100 editions but on this site you get access to FOUR....yes "4". So, only around 5% per cent of the vids are available at 2000kbps. All the others - yes 95% (!) are at a measly 600 kbps - not even worth bothering with - although a few are at 960kbps.

No option for full DVD downloads.

Bottom Line:
Even with only around 25 DVD's worth downloading - at 2 hours each on average, that makes for around 50 hours of teen heaven for 30 Euros - not bad really. So it's worth joining for the one month.

I'll leave it for 12 months until I rejoin - by then another 50 or so of their collection, should be available at the decent resolution of 2000 kbps - making the effort worthwhile.

Also, downloading is a bit of a hastle - the number of scenes each DVD is split into is too large for it not to be a pain in the ass - typically each vid is split into 10 - 15 micro-scenes.

This can also be a little misleading given the editing style of some of the series' whereby 4 or 5 "activities" are shown occurring simultaneously - so being selective as to which scenes you download can leave you with incomplete scenes essentially.

Better would be to allow the full download in one go.

Finally, before updating with new titles each week, perhaps they should concentrate on making the existing titles available at the highest resolution. When only 5% of the vids you look closer at, are at a decent resolution, it becomes very annoying.

Follow-Up:
Having joined again after 6 months, they are clearly adding a new full DVD (90 minutes) each week....all at around 2MBps bitrate - which is OK.

Must say I still love this stuff...and paying 30 Euros (around $40) for 26 DVD's each 6 months is is no problem for me.

As the proportion of Higher Quality stuff is now increasing rapidly, I have increased the score accordingly.

REVIEW = 75 by diZZy (2)

Pros:
+ lots of content (100 Gig+)
+ all vids downloadable now
+ video format for newest movies 720x540

Cons:
- only the newest vids are highres - older are 320x240

Bottom Line:
It's quite a nice site. Fortunately you can download the newest vids at a high quality of 720 by 540 wmv. There are no download limits, but it is only possible to download one file at the same time. Updates are announced in the members area and seem to be weekly.
