Video rental downloads in Canada are still in infancy

Faster downloads, direct to TV and digital devices to come

Online movie rentals in Canada are a popular way to get low cost movie rentals without having to drive to the store. Blockbuster Video and Netflix are, by far, the top online movie rental web sites. They have a strong reputation and deliver fast videos by snail mail. But they only offer DVD to PO service.

Until now. Netflix has just announced instant downloads to your PC. Movies start in as little as 30 seconds. With an online selection of over 5,000 movies, more are added everyday.

Technology, copyrights and commerce still makes it difficult to download more movie rentals online. Connection speeds are still too slow for the massive files that have to travel over the web- often in the multi-gigabytes in size.

The person receiving the download has to have enough space on a hard drive to store the movie (more than most DVDs can hold). The movie also needs to be in a format compatible with the computer's DVD player (DVD or Blue Ray?)

Add to that, copyright issues that still to be resolved among the movie distributors and you see that legal, safe, online movie downloads are still a year or so away. But, technology and commercial negotiations seem to expedite when all parties finally agree on making enough money (except the consumer, of course, who has to pay for it).

Online Movie Rentals in Canada

Movie, dvd and video rentals in Canada by mail are still the best way to get high quality, full-length, and current movie releases. Blockbuster movies rentals and movie rentals from Netflix have been the pioneers in dvd rentals on the web.

Because the online dvd rental market is competative, both companies offer introductory promotions, free shipping and other incentives for a monthly price. These promos and codes change often, just like other technology promos.

In the meantime, enjoy free classic movie downloads of public domain films. These files are less than a gigabyte and will download to most computers and can be transfered to mobile devices like iPod and PDA's.
