Watching movies is perhaps the greatest pastime of the world. It is a hugely popular pastime that has practically the entire new age spiritual movies on to it. The movie industry in it’s about a hundred years of existence has become one of the most booming of all industries. This is because the audio visual media has the greatest capacity of capturing the attention of the audience among all types of media. It is easy to immerse oneself in a movie and get away from the rest of the world for quite some time. Movies are thus a great form of entertainment and an equally delightful way of relaxation.
After having a successful run in theaters and drive-ins and on television, movie disks and computers, movies have now breached the intangible peripheries of the World Wide Web. This has added an entirely new dimension to the movie watching business. You now get, courtesy the latest servers with millions and millions of gigabytes of storage space, an unlimited collection of movies including all the titles that ever were produced. As a result you can watch practically any movie and at any time you choose.
With the basic hardware and software supported by a fast internet connection, you can have a great movie watching experience. Go for a computer with good hard rive space, memory, a wide TFT screen of good resolution, superior audio and video drivers, 5.1 speakers that reproduce Dolby sound and the latest software like Adobe Flash Player, DivX, Vlc, Windows Media Player, Quick Time player and Real Media Player. Then the only thing you are left with is to find good sites that stream movies. There you can either watch entire movies or watch latest movie trailers online – trailers of movies that are currently playing in the theatres or will be soon released.
Streaming is the technology that websites use to play movies. With this technology a movie can be played on users’ computer while it is being delivered from the storing server. This reduces the time of download and the movie can start playing the moment the downloading starts. This also reduces the amount of storage space needed on the users’ computers to play the movies as the movie is not being stored in heavy file formats on their computers.
