Film on demand: Online cinemas still no match for video store
Source: MonstersAndCritics
________ Stuttgart - When the weather outside is frightful, watching videos at night can be delightful. The internet would seem to be a perfect alternative to mediocre network or cable programming: special online portals allow home users to order, download, and watch the movie of their choice, completely legal and for only a few dollars. Video on Demand (VoD) is how the industry refers to that kind of viewing. The promise is all the joy of film without having to leave your house. In practice, however, VoD isn't ready to displace the video store quite yet. |

Too much of a niche market. Now if they were HD, and you had a nice fat connection it wouldn't be too bad. However, the MPAA would have a cow about that.
