Experience with Movie Download Systems

[jsteele]

Does anyone have any experience with using one of the movie download systems such as "www.FreeDVDDirect.com" or "onlinemovieaccess.com" with GBPVR?

Supposedly these systems download in MP3 so it ought to be possible to just save them into the GBPVR videos directory and have them available in GBPVR.

I have found that most of them are charging money for stuff you can get for free.
Some of them don't actually have any movies, they just give you the info, so you can download them yourself from IRC or bittorrent sites.
99% of them are total scams! Beware!

I was browsing today and stumbled over a few so I thought I'd ask. I don't have any direct experience myself but they certainly sounded "too good to be true" :-) I suspected from looking at 'freedvddirect.com' that they were file sharing portals more than anything.

I have seen an offer recently from "StarzTicket" which is apparently a play-per-pay system from Starz the cable movie outfit. But these appear to be usage-encoded so storing them is pointless.
