Thanks for the review, did you use the roku options? What was your experience like?

Completely agree on the full site preview that you mentioned. It's definitely one of my favorite aspects of the site which allows me to drop and renew membership whenever I feel like. It's the only way I know what they've added since I left.

I wih I could but I can't. The sound is an integral part of the scene so if there is music than it has to be either unoticeable or not too loud to overshadow the action betwen the players.

I have a very good memory so I know that the soundtrack on some of their newer and older videos wasn't on the original one but have you noticed that as well?

Try downloading the K-Lite Codec Pack, rearadmiral. This package contains not only all the codecs you will ever need but also a great player. It's the old Windows Player, now called Media Player Classic, but don't let the name fool you. It has everything you might want. It even has the capacity to resize a messed up video (ctrl keypad) if your source got the dimensions wrong. I use VLC at times but only because of its capacity to sharpen a picture, other than that I use the Media Player Classic as my default player. It pauses and resumes when you click on the picture of the video, the volume can be adjusted through your mouse scroll button. What's not to like? I would really recommend it highly.

For me this is only true in SOME scenes, rearadmiral and I am a stickler for a clear and sharp picture. I know that you are a lover of wmv files so I'll ask have you ever tried downloading a video in mp4 format? Not only is the file half the size of an wmv one but, to my eyes, is often of higher quality.

I have been a member since 2005 and never experienced any technical problems, just content issues.
I tried logging in this morning and got an offer to join. I thought maybe by 1 year membership had expired but I have another 5 months left.
Based on these comments I think I'll just sit back and wait a few days to see if things get better.

I understand your hope that "I'm sure they get any problems fixed soon."
I have been saying that to myself for the last 4-5 months.

Yes, I have tried a few of the others like this out there, and this is still the best imo.

Nice review,
I agree with most of your points, although I obviously am not as fond of this site as you are. I also agree with exotics, that I find videosz to be a bit better, the crap-to-decent ratio seemed a bit better there to me. The site you were thinking of was perhaps American Vice (I liked them much better than either of the 'video' sites?

I will post this to Monahan as well. Videosz has started getting some exclusive content. Though the webmaster of Tainster, I think, thought I was putting them down, Videosz has picked up, according to him, 25% of their 3,000 once exclusive scenes on DVDs and those are nearly all public/voyeur scenes. I felt more overwhelmed on Videosz than Videobox, but it could have just been from being away from Videosz for so long. And I think I probably know the video site you're talking about, American Vice. There have been quite a few DVD sites I've liked over the years that either dropped way off or shutdown, like Vixeo. Seems like when they first came out they had a 50% exclusive rate on their DVDs, but their webmaster was an ass and he jumped the price up from $9.95 or $14.95 to $34.95. The other that comes to mind was DVD Box, which had several exclusive deals with exclusive paysites to distribute some of their content, but they are now just releasing the bargain bin type DVDs.

I'm interested in your observations about Videoz and VB. Does Videoz have enough non-duplicated content to make it worthwhile to subscribe to both at the same time?

I've always kept VB in my rotation of sites I join, but skipped them this last time and gave VideosZ a try. I can't say you would have the same experience, but I actually was happier with VideosZ than my last time at Videobox. Since I was going out of town, I canceled the VideosZ account early, but am now going right back and rejoining. Biggest difference I found was VideosZ has some content that I had thought was wholly exclusive to the sites they came from. Tainster, formerly Erromax, Orgymax, has around 200 DVDs on VideosZ of their sites Party Hardcore, Mad Sex Party and Drunk Sex Orgy. And it's not to take away from Videobox, if anything I will pair the two together from now on.

I keep meaning to join this site, but never actually doing it, mostly because I know I'll probably be partially paralyzed by the choices and either not download anything for a few days or downloading so much that I need a brand new hard drive. But I think now is the time, especially so that I can see what the difference between the old and new versions of the site and see for myself if the new version is that bad.

from pat362:
Another great review and there's one point you and I agree on and that's i their policy of adding new content. I'd rather see less movies being added on a regular basis and better ones instead. There are way too many movies that are basically just content filler so that they can keep thei claim of adding 5 new movies per day.
There are also too many movies that contain leased content already on the site under a different studio name. I'd much rather see them go for the dead studios content like Diabolic, Anabolic, Jm production and so on. They already update with some of their content but if they weren't spending money on all the crap then they would have more to go after those better studios.

Can't say I agree with your fondness for this site, but I will say your review is as close to par-excellence as one can get.
Your efforts deserves a hardy high-five and certainly a gesture of appreciation from the site webmasters

rearadmiral's Review
from messmer:
Excellent review, rearadmiral! I would only like to add that, regrettably, every time they publish a "mature" title every scene appears to contain enhanced breasts. I find, in general, that the more mature ladies are being sadly neglected in favor of youth. You would like that, of course (we've talked about it in the Forum) but there are many of us who would like to see more "natural" MILF, even GILF videos, but regrettably there are not enough of us to sway VB. I've had no problems with download speeds, they are consistently at my maximum but have big problems when it comes to navigating within VB3 so you are wise to keep using the old site.

Excellent review.
I wonder how common slow download speeds are at VideoBox?
On 2012-07-06, OneMan posted a site comment that he's getting terrible download speeds, 100 KB/sec or less. He lives in UK.
mike11w replied to the comment that he's also experiencing poor download speeds and that customer service is terrible as well. He lives in the US.
TheSquirrel, in reply to a different comment on the site, wrote:
"It may be the ability to download material rather than the content that decides the review. I hated Video Box and never went back because they had the slowest download speeds I have ever experienced. Their customer service was non existent. Streaming was impossible except some time after midnight here in the UK. Good material and value but it all depends on the ability to watch it.
For those who can access the content I fully understand why it should get high marks, but it's a lottery on download speeds. From what I have heard US appears not to be so bad, but European members often report of slow speeds and download problems."

rearadmiral's Review
from Monahan:
A few comments about Rearadmiral's review:
5 updates per day - Totally agree that, with 13,345 movies (today's total) there is a bunch of crapola. However their recently added feature of quickie previews gives the discerning porndog the ability to get an idea of the content of a video before spending any time on it. I'm fine with 5 per day and like the opportunity to sort through the offerings myself rather than have someone else do the selecting for me.
New VB3 feature - Totally agree that I prefer the old front-end over the new one. It's good that the VB folks give us the full choice.
Compilations and duplications - Would be an annoyance except there's a loyal group of VB'ers who accurately point out duplications. The good part about that is if you find a scene that you want to download, you may find an earlier posting that runs longer or even that is available in HD.
Inaccurate identification of talent - One major failing that is not mentioned in Rearadmiral's review is the frequent inaccurate identification of the talent. Worse is when there's no effort to identify the talent. With a catalog of 13,345 videos, each averaging 5 scenes, that means if you dig a particular babe, and that babe is not accurately identified, you'll need to dig through over 120,000 scenes to find her stuff; ain't gonna happen. The good part is that the VB'ers who comment frequently provide an identification and/or correction, but the bad part is that comments are not searchable. I've stumbled on some of my favorite babes totally by accident which makes me wonder how much more is out there that is undiscovered.
D/L speeds - Agree. Never had a problem with speed or with simultaneous multiple downloads.
No excuse for using a freebee site - Totally agree. Not only is there no excuse from a cost standpoint, the quality of the video on VB is usually much better.

Too right mate I do think it would be great to have a network site for kink but totally see that their stuff is unique and if you're into it its second to none, trouble is with me I only like to dip my toe in to bdsm when the mood takes for something different so not always what I wanna see, only half into some of the niches they have so struggle to know which site to join, I have joined everything butt and whipped ass in the past.
I agree some of those pretty sloppy, anal buffet and milk nymphos certainly do stretch your imagination at what is possible in anal porn, first time I saw so of that stuff my eyes nearly popped out of my head, OMG, when you're in the mood for something totally kinky and extreme anal those movies certainly deliver. I wish sinplex also had a pay site as I join that in a flash too, their stuff is pretty far out.

Yeah no doubt VB fault, hope they sort it soon.
I've just been having a look at some of the kink updates, there is some bloody seriously kinky stuff on there, I'd love to have a network access for say $45, some of the anal stuff on these sites is mind blowing. I noticed that evilangel stuff is also at kinkondemand now.

Yeah if I wasn't a member of VB not too long ago I might of looked into it more but for me it would be for just the kink sites so probably worth waiting a while till they have more and there is more from VB I need.
But sounds a good deal if you can sample all them kink movies for $10. I agree though they need to sort out the labelling of their kink sites, you need to know quickly what site at least it is from to establish if you want it instead of clicking everyone.

Thanks for putting the mini review up Rearadmiral. Doesn't sound like they have too many scenes yet then, I liked the look of the gangbang site, whipped ass, everything butt and public disgrace but might have to wait a while till they get more scenes.
How much was it you had to pay.
