If I've got some time and there's a movie I really want to watch, I'd watch it online. I just stream though, I don't download. I don't think I'd want to wait for it download and wait for it to burn, just so I could watch it on a bigger screen. It's just not worth it.

So that mean you are saying that your internet connection is fast. I watch series online like naruto or boondocks. I usually just wait until one episode load, it usually load fast then while i watch it i make the other episode load. Once in a while you will find me downloading movies i also usually watch them on the net.

It's pretty fast, but it still depends on the site's bandwidth and all. Normally, I can watch it right away, without having to wait for the whole episode to finish loading, but there are times where it can be quite slow sometimes. I also load another episode while I'm watching one (^_^) With movies, I totally have to wait for it to finish loading. Often times, it takes a few hours to do this.

Hi,buddy, i prefer download movies and watch them, because viewing movie online is not clear, i often download high definition movies such as avi, hd rmvb,kmv,h.264,720P,1080P and so on, i burn some such movies on my DVD, but 1080P is 20GB or 40GB+, my dvd D9 is not enough to store big movies, so i left big movies in my 1TB harddisk. well, if Blu-ray recorder and disks will be cheaper, i woud like to buy that kind of recorder to store more files.:)
When i don't find some classic movie or rare movie to download, i will watch those movies online.:)
Enjoy mylot!

hi, sorry, i didn't come mylot for three days :) i offer two links for installing high definition codes and video player.
Before installing video player, please install this high definition codes, you choose English version:

At last you install video player Kmplayer:

Also I note that your video card should be over ATI 1600pro or GeForce 7600 and HD3850 or 8800GT is better, if your card is not good enough, by high definition codes play is still slow. Good luck!

I download movies first before I watch it.
While the movie is downloading then I do my activities in the internet. In that way I can save and budget my time while surfing the net.

I rarely stream the movies - as the quality goes really down. I obtain the better movies as DVDs or DVDrips and the great ones in the 720p version.
Streaming via the internet is mostly for the tv shows which take me longer to download than to watch, like "My Name is Earl"; "Being Human"; "How I Met Your Mother" etc.

Hi Renhard,
Usually,I watch movies dirctly from the internet too.There are many websites which we can use to watch latest movies or TV series online,so it is not necessary to download them.

The movies - I download and watch when I can. It's the serials I watch online, directly from the Internet. For example, I'm watching The Simpsons on the Internet, but I downloaded Ice Age 3. I also do this because serials take long time to download and occupy more DVD's than movies.

Hey,
Well I don't really watch any movies on the Internet nor do I download movies from the Internet. I know that they are totally illegal, but also that isn't the main reason why I don't download them. I just don't have enough time to watch them. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

For entertainment I watch movie directly to the internet. If i wish movie is really good for me then definetly i download and make a dvd for further use. But i do not watch full movie on internet as I have no more time.

I will download and then view the movies. As my internet speed is low, if I try to view movies online, it will take much time as the movies are not running continuously because of the slow download. It will run for about 40-60 seconds and then start downloading the rest of the part for about a two minutes. It may be suitable for the high internet speed only to view the movies online.For slow speed connectivity, first downloading them and then viewing will be the best option.

I usually download first and then watch the movies.I have never tried watching a movie directly from internet.There are two major problems in that,firstly my net connection is not that fast,and secondly if i like a movie i usually store it my dvd or hard disk.But if i see a movie directly from the net,and found that to be good i have to download it anyway.

yeah I admit I do watch movies from the internet. Even the ones that have not left the theater. Shh don't tell anywone. They are some great site outhere that gives you the option to watch movies if its not in theaters. Some of them are even free. Do a search and you will see what am talking about. We all can't afford to go sit in the movie theaters. Do you know how much for popcorn and water. Happy lotting.

I do a little bit of both. If you want to watch it directly from the internet but on a bigger screen you could get a cable that connects your computer monitor to your television so it's like you went through all that work but you didn't. It's kind of pricey I believe but worth it if you'd use it all the time.
