mikemuch writes "ExtremeTech has reviews today of five internet movie download
and rental services. The services/sites ? CinemaNow, MovieFlix, Movielink,
Amazon's Unbox, and Starz's Vongo ? have various takes on how online
feature-length films should be made available over the internet. CinemaNow has
the most alternatives: Free, Subscription, Rent, Buy, and Burn to DVD, while
the others offer some subset of these choices. Amazon Unbox has the best video
quality, using a 2.5Mb/sec bitrate and VC1 encoding, while CinemaNow is the
only one that lets you burn DVDs. There are still disadvantages to getting
movies this way, but VOD is making headway, as these services show."
