By now people are discovering that downloading movies from the internet is great. It makes the films you want accessible at the tip of your fingers.

Having this technology is great, it makes watching movies so much easier, however the question is, are these movies Blu-ray quality? Are they living up vrs a Blu-ray?

They are the questions anybody can ask, and it relies on what quality of the film your downloading and the file type. For starters what you want to download is a Divx Movie. Divx files are the newest sort of files. What they do is they compress the audio and video and turn a normaly huge file in to a new file that's about one-third the size.

When you download a divx movie, it has a good Blu-ray quality to it. It is not exactly like a Blu-ray but it may be good sufficient to stay at home downloading your movie.

Whenever you download your movies, it's pretty easy to burn them onto a Blu-ray and watch them as many times while you like. But what I like to recommend, and do myself, is that I actually download movies as samples. If I download the film, and enjoy it, then I shall go ahead and buy it as a Blu-ray.

Downloading Blu-ray quality movies on the internet takes from 2 to eight hours depending your connection, so I always recommend to download them from a high speed internet access computer. You also want to make certain you've got over 500 MB's of free disk space at minimum, and if you have over 1GB that is optimal.

There are actually various software programs that provide you access to download movies online. A lot of them are good, while they have high speed downloads. There are places where downloading movies is based upon a P2P system (peer to peer), that means that you will be downloading the movie from another user. These can be great because you may get the most effective movies faster, although sometimes it's important to be cautious that the titles are confusing, meaning that you download one title thinking it was another one.

The advantage when downloading movies from these programs is the fact that you are getting them for free new movie. You pay for a one time fee and then you just fire up the software and you will inmediately start downloading movies. They are great, but just be warned that you might find the ocational user that confuses the title's and also you download Ace Ventura thinking you were going to get Scarface.

All in all downloading movies may be great, just make certain you support the movie industry and also you buy the Blu-ray's you like, and always go to the movies to watch them.
