DVDs or downloads?

Hi pierrella, To be honest I did not know when was the last time I bought an original DVD and/or VCD from the store. I do bought DVDs and/or VCDs but it is a pirated one any I can buy it from the streets and some mall. We also can not determine the quality of those pirated movies because we can not watch it before we buy it. The only place we could test it is at our own home. Since I have had my own internet connection, I just downloaded it using torrent. It takes quite a long time to completed one movie because my slow internet connection but it is worth it. I always downloaded the DVD ripped movies so at least the quality was there even though the movies was played a few months back. So, instead of making those DVDs and/or VCDs pirated seller richer, I think it is better for me to downloaded it from the net myself. At least I know the quality and I can save my money. It is morally wrong to do it but it definitely not worst then buy a pirated DVDs and/or VCDs.

Yes i have also downloads many movies from Internet.. and i always watching movies at my home on my computer.. so i always download latest and old movies.. now i have a very huge collection of movies..

It all depends if I want to make it a movie night out or inside my home. I usually search online to see if the movie is there and downloadable and if not then I'll go check out our store we have here they usually have good new releases. I have a flash drive (USB stick) which I put the movies or tv shows by the seasons on if I'm going to download them, then I will either watch them on my laptop when I work a nightshift or just stick it into my DVD player. Have a great evening

I don't download from torrents either i buy a DVD...Both are illegal in my place.. No DVD's would be released or available until the movie is 10 year old..No producers will approve for a DVD print of his movie.. There is no way of getting a DVD of a newly released movie, if it's available then it's pirated and it is punishable by law.. So the only way left is to go and watch in cinema theaters.. So, multiple teams are getting benefits, theater owner , producer of the movie, people watching the movie, they could see the full effects made to the movie in a big screen and with the digital sound in theaters..

I never download movies. I watch them on TV or buy DVDs from stores of my favourite films. I sometimes watch them on youtibe too if I dont happen to have them on DVD. I think it is much easier to just go buy a DVD rather than take all that time to download it and then have to convert formats and such. And you are right if you are not paying for the movie then it is illegal and you shouldnt be downlaoding it.

oh piracy.. how annoying the facts are. i have to admit, pirated DVDs are so easy to get. and so much that they seem to look like nothing wrong with buying them. but i walked past a pirated DVD of a movie i worked on. it's not a hollywood movie.. just a movie for local market with relatively huge budget and young people like me giving our all to make it. makes me feel sad to see it. such a successful movie but the company barely make some profit out of it.

I have never downloaded movies from the internet to watch. My friend has done it before though and they like watching the ones off the internet. I always rent or buy the dvd's to watch. I've never watched a downloaded movie before.

I do download movies (although very rarely) and if I like the movie I will go and buy it on DVD or BluRay.

I prefer to watch movies in a cinema,whose video and audio effects are better than DVDs disks. Actually in my country the problem of piracy is so severe that it is difficult to find genuine DVDs. However,people in our country are willing to by piracy DVDs for its low price. To some extent ,Downloading is also one kind of piracy which is popular among our citizens. In my opinion piracy in my country will not be banned unless our citizens are more richer and afford the genuine DVDs

Most of the time I'll just download movies online since it's easier and it's free but sometimes I'll buy them especially if it's a movie I love.

I used to buy lots of DVDs earlier but now after I have got an unlimited internet connection I download all my stuffs instead of purchasing the DVDs.. I do Lots of Cost Cutting this way!! I usually download around 10-20 movies in a month. Mostly latest movies both bollywood and hollywood.. Happy Mylotting!!!

well i prefer downloading the movie because its less expensive and im sure to find many available downloads on net, buying original dvd's is so expensive thats why many Filipino's is purchasing pirated ones, i use torrent in downloading movies

actually one should not download DVDs coz its illegal but the next thing comes in my mind is that why not when its free......and fast..........yes i prefer downloading.......torrents....and despite of the facts you wont get some DVDs in shoppe but you'll surely find everything online.......

DVDs I cant stand sitting at a computer to watch movies

I don't like keeping DVD's because they take up space in my little room so I prefer torrents. And when you're done with them, they're pretty much easy to get rid of. I've bought "pirated" DVD's in the past though but I switched to torrents. I guess they're a bit more practical. I could use the money for the DVD on buying food instead.

i prefer to buy DVD than download from internet,becaus if i download film from internet it's just wate my time.i thing file film is a big size.and need long time to download.but if i buy DVD i can watching soon

Hi,pierrella i often choose downland and seldom buy DVD.for downland is for free,and i alway choose the high-qualified version to downland,if there is one at the moment,i will wait.for me,if the movie which i choose to not go to cinema,the time early or late to watch is not important,so long time to complete the downland is also not a factor that let me to buy DVD. If i want to watch the movie immediately i will go to cinema,but it seems seldom happen to me.

before i have an internet connection at home, i usually buy pirated dvds, but it usually only cam quality so i just have to wait a really long time to get good ones. but after i have an internet connection, i like to download more, because the quality is good (as long as you can choose), and it's more cheap.

I admit that I don't watch a whole lot of movies these days: but I do like to watch a lot of shows. I move around a lot so I don't like to carry a lot of things with me, but I almost always have my laptop. So therefore I've taken a liking to http://www.hulu.com as it is a legal, free alternative to watching TV. For the movies that I do own: I tend to rip them to an iso file and then watch them when I'm on the road. So I in short: I prefer electronic format rather than dealing with DVD discs whenever possible.

I prefer that you should buy yourself a portable hard drive and download torrent. Or maybe you should watch it online so there's no space being occupied (i.e. space in comp and space in your house). From my personal experience, I enjoy buying dvds but now I just don't know where should I put them. Some of them have a double copy because of blurr copies and no sound :(
