Movies in the Digital Age

Imagine an electronic gadget as big as the Piano that is used to play movies on the television. Funny, right? Well, when Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) was invented in 1971, it was indeed as big as the Piano. The cost wasn't any less either. It was more than a luxury even for a wealthy person.

Rapid development in the field of Electronics engineering in the last couple of decades gradually resulted in building a compact VCR. Then digital era made Video cassettes obsolete. In came the Compact Discs (CD) and Digital Video Discs (DVD) which lead to the invention of CD and DVD players.

Even for a movie buff, watching all the movies in the theatre could turn out to be quite an expensive affair. Renting a movie isn't a way out either because of the non-availability of recently released movies in the library collection.

The recent trend in the DVD market is that the DVD prints are compressed to one fifth of the file size of the original DVD only. For example, a DVD usually has a storage capacity of 4GB. The compression of the movie file size to one fifth of its original size makes it possible to store almost 5 movies in a single DVD. Though the video quality might not be as good as the original movie print, purchasing 5 movies for the price of 1 DVD is quite an offer that one might find quite tempting to resist.

Though movies can be viewed online these days for free, there is one drawback with this option. The internet speed has to be at least 2MBPS for the movie to be continuously streaming. This constrains us to watch movies only when we have the internet connection.
