MovieRoom.com is the home of thousands of movie scenes (730+ DVD's) and new additions are promised daily. The design and layout is simple, offering a few very nice search/browse features, and video streams as high as 2000k. The price of admission is somewhat high ($29.95) compared to other video sites we've seen, but not so high compared to what most paysites are charging these days. Let's check it out...
The Good:
- There are 2 ways to browse the 730+ DVD's here at MovieRoom.com. Users can browse through the 3,397+ scenes that together make up the 730+ full-length DVD's, or they can browse through the DVD titles themselves. Additionally, there is some very nice search and browse features including: categories, ratings, model profiles, an attribute selector, studio links, multiple filters, and more. For such a simple looking set-up and design, Movie Room sure does cover the entire basis when it comes to navigation.
- There are many options for download, but probably one of my favorite features is the ability to download full-length DVD titles, as well as individual scenes in Windows Media (300k - 2000k), iPod and PSP formats. There is also an in-browser Flash Player video that allows you to start and stop a movie anywhere you please.
- Many of the 2000k Windows Media streams looked awesome, although I did find some quality inconsistencies throughout.
- A new DVD is added daily.
The Bad:
- Although this is still a nice-sized archive of video content, MovieRoom.com is not quite the large size as some of the other video sites out there, and the price is on the high end, comparatively.
- There were some inconsistencies in video quality, especially for some of the older, more obscure titles.
The Conclusion:
At first glance Movie Room just looks like another video site, but once you get started looking around you'll notice there are some very pleasant differences. Most notable is the navigation, which offers users so many options and ways to get around, you'll never be at a loss for the specific content you crave. Overall it's going to be the price of admission and somewhat (smaller than the norm) archive size that holds this site back, but Movie Room is certainly not one to be overlooked by those on the market for full-length DVD downloads.
