I love the adult DVD's market. There is some great stuff out there. Problem is, I hate porn shops and buying off the Internet and having porn mailed to me has not worked out well.The quality and content of most DVD's blows away the Internet stuff.

I would love to own more DVD's and would be happy to buy them. There are old titles I wish I had and too many new ones to check out.Not to mention storing these things suck. So here is my question:

When is there going to be an Internet distribution method for DVD's? Meaning when can I BUY and download a full quality copy of these great DVD's. I think this really needs to happen to this industry. Some companies sell the DVD content on website like Evil Angel, but they are low quality Quicktime movies. Like I said money is not the problem. I don't want to browse porn shops or wait for the mail man to deliver my porn at the wrong time.

This would also work out for storing these on my Media Center PC.

I hope I've made my point clear. I'm trying to cover everything.

until they start doing that, why not rent a p.o. box or have them mailed to your work address?

UPS and FedEx don't deliver to PO Boxes.

What we really need is an iTunes style pay-per-download. And please, nothing outrageous! At most say $5 for high-demand movies (movies being single scenes, not full features) and 99 cents or less for older clips. Not pay-per-view, pay-per-DDR'd-download.

Hell, let's get a standards group together and make ID3 data sets for our porn clips that have tags for stars, category (anal, bdsm, etc), date made, and plug 'em all into a browser interface a-la, yes, iTunes. I think anybody who has used iTunes to categorize their 500+ CD music libraries would definitely appreciate a similar organizer for their 50+ gig MPEG collections.

While we're at it, how about format standards? Customer convenience, please? Anybody else find the preponderance of movie formats a bit frustrating, given ever-changing compatibilities?

To industry-insiders, this is a goldmine. You're welcome. And let me in on the action for crissakes. I do have programming experience, too.

Actually, UPS owns Mailboxes Etc and FedEx bought a copying (Xeroxing) chain, which will offer PO Boxes. They deliver to their own, though they are listed with street addresses.

You can do that already to a certain extent. Of course not every DVD is available.

I currently have 6 adult memberships and they all offer high quality downloadable videos with no restrictions for one monthly fee. Some are better than others in regards to the variety and quantity of the videos. But overall I have been very impressed with the quality of my latest downloads. They have been excellent.

I'll download them to my computer and burn my favorite scenes to DVD. Very rarely have I found a DVD where I enjoyed every single scene. I can be very picky. So burning them myself ensures that I get exactly what I want.

VideoBox.com is one of the sites I belong to, and they offer unlimited downloads of over 400 DVD's for $9.95 per month. The downloadable files are in the wmv format.

I still buy DVD's occasionally via online (the local video stores around here sells them for roughly 4 times the online price) but they have to have impeccable reviews. I've been burned too many times.

Good luck

Videobox.com

ROCKS

But the selection does not include lots of lines / titles this crowd likes. To get that variety, mail order rental service providers(BushDVD, Xrent, etc.) is required.

Yes, but these are NOT P.O. Boxes, they are PMB=Private Mail Boxes. Fedex/UPS/DHL do deliver to these places, yes, becuase they are street addresses, not a PO box address. I run a postal store here in TX, not owned by UPS or Fedex. I get delviereies here every day. Sorry to steer off tpoic.


But I like this downloading option folks are talking about, like an itunes type of thing. Great idea

Unfortunately 2 things come into play, much like VoD now. Quality and codecs.

Quality is a relative term and the codec can be just a pain in the ass. I think if done right (which I have no answer for ) it will work. From what I understand VOD isn't doing that bad, but most VoD I know of is the whole movie, not scene by scene, which is a better idea I think.

What happens if you order a half-dozen or whatever, so that the package does not fit in the P.O. box?

I'm assuming that some of you out there have a P.O. box and have experience with this. I've never had a P.O. box and wondered how this works.

Thanks

But the question is: Is it *true* DVD quality -- i.e. not encoded to DiVX or XViD, but the raw MPEG2 VOB files?

Yes, DIVX files can look very good if the source quality is great and the right bitrate (1200+) is selected. But when put side by side with the TRUE DVD, the DVD always wins out.

You can get a lot of movies in DivX format. However, by no means are all in that format.

As other said, use UPS and Fedex and you can give specified instructions "Keep away from any women" for example...
