How To Instantly Assemble A Film Collection And Save Cash Also

By Robles Perkins

The rising costs of premium cable movies and DVD rentals are forcing people to look for alternatives to watching their favorite movies. The escalating cost of movies does not have to keep you from enjoying a rich entertaining experience. There a plenty of new companies on the internet that will let you download movies to your computer.

The internet is growing with new companies offering both free and paid movie viewing memberships. The free movie site usually offer low end movies, documentaries and vintage films. This is okay if your enjoy watching those. The paid websites have a large database of premium movies.

Depending on your needs either of the two may suffice. Free movie sites have a wide range of documentaries ranging from military and political events in history to documentaries done by special interest groups. Paid movie sites offer premium movies such as action, adventure, drama, horror and more.

Before joining a free or paid movie site, there are a couple of preliminary things to consider when it comes to your personal computer. Most downloadable movies require a lot of disk space. A typical movie can consume as much as 1.2 to 1.5 gigabytes while smaller movies may only require three hundred to five hundred megabytes.

Typically, larger movie files will have better quality and therefore will take longer to download. Each download can take up to 30 minutes or more. This is one of the reasons some people choose to download their movies overnight or during times when they are busy with other things. Once the download is complete, the movie can be watched on the computer.

Some people choose the option to watch streaming movies through an internet connection. While this may save space on your hard drive, it requires a fast internet connection to transfer the movie bytes. Most DSL cable modems of high speed internet services are more than sufficient.

The only piece of free software you will need is Windows Media Player, Quick Time or some other program which is normally installed on most computers. You have the option to upgrade to a premium software program if you want a more enhanced experience. However the free programs work just fine.

Once all of these conditions are in place, you should feel free to join one of the many movies sites. Should you take a free trial membership, realize that after the trial is over, your paid fees will automatically kick in. You will start getting billed for your membership so make sure you download plenty of movies.
