Some people are lactose intolerant. Some are bad porn intolerant. It's the latter that will want to check out ZTOD, Zero Tolerance on Demand, where they have "zero tolerance for bad porn." ZTOD is a video site featuring the DVDs from the Zero Tolerance studio. They look to be a very mainstream studio with all the classic hardcore action just about any porn fan will appreciate. Anal, teen, lesbian, orgy, interracial, cumshots...they've got all the major genres covered. There's a little something for all video fans.
You'll see in big bold letters at the top of each page on the site that they have 950 movies online. However, it would be more accurate to say they have 950 clips from 132 movies. 132 full length DVDs is still an awesome sized collection, just be aware that it's not 950. Updates are a little erratic. Three videos were added this week but prior to that it was over 10 days since the last update. Hopefully they'll get that worked out soon.
There are multiple ways to browse the collection. Aside from a search box that lets you type in the title or pornstar name of your choice, you can also search by genre and series. Pornstars can be browsed alphabetically, movies can be arranged chronologically, and it's easy to view other member favorites by clicking over to the Most Downloaded DVDs and Top Picks sections. Box covers are shown on each page and you can click through to view a synopsis, clickable list of stars and genres, production year, etc. Nothing is really missing from navigation, which I found to be quite simple.
Each movie is broken into multiple scenes that average around 20 minutes in length. The scenes are offered in a choice of broadband (2200k), broadband low (1150k), and modem (650k) quality settings. These are some really great looking videos! This really is DVD quality video. The only bummer is that they're all DRM protected. Unfortunently, you can't save these movies permanently. I was surprised to find the videos so light on user options, not only the ability to save or stream but also to view in different formats and more clip and full-scene choices. The different quality settings are great and the video looks fantastic but it still could have been a bit more user-friendly.
If the videos aren't enough for you, there's also a collection of 539 photo galleries. I was very surprised to find galleries on what is clearly a video site! These are a nice addition, however. They're not even vidcaps, either! The photos were actually taken during the filming of the movies which is really a fun touch to the site. They're pretty good sized at 600x900 and they look professionally shot. Pretty cool!
Even with the download restrictions I still enjoyed Zero Tolerance. They've got a good sized collection of original content that looks great. The site is easy to navigate and sometimes updates are often. The price is a bit high at $30 a month, especially for DRM protected movies. I still had fun, though. ZTOD isn't perfect but they definitely have a quality product that is worth a look.
