For some 20 years, Vivid Video has been producing top quality adult entertainment films. For over 10 years, Vivid has been one of the leading websites in the porn community. With nearly 700 features and tons of extras, this is a good site for branded, mainstream, hardcore porn. This is strictly a streaming site, so expect nothing more than instant gratification. If you haven't heard of Vivid Video by now, you should go back to church and give thanks for your innocence. The material found here is 99% "mainstream" and you won't find much in the way of special interest. The Vivid stable is compiled of many past and present legends of porn such as Briana Banks, Jenna Jameson, Lanny Barby, Savanna Samson, and Tera Patrick, among many others. All of these models are perfect "10's" and if this is not your preference, the content will most likely bore you. Vivid now also has a webcam offering, and we saw about 50 live models avaiable on a Friday night. Vivid recently remodeled its website and the new look and feel is a good improvement over the old, in both form and function. You may now select your viewing pleasure by model or release title. The films themselves are fairly generic and there is no "content" filter, nor is there a need for one. You will also notice plenty of "partner" links to related products and services. Nothing makes us feel warmer than paying to see advertisements and we'd think a giant like Vivid would rise above this shameless whoring. The movies can only be streamed and can not be saved, unless you get crafty with some MMS decoding kung fu. Videos are offered in your choice of Real, Quick Time, or Windows Media. The material is viewed at 640x480 resolution, with the high speed choice being a modest rate of 500 Kbs. Full screen viewing is about average and we wouldn't be surprised if some are tempted to "Buy this DVD" since you can't save it and watching it on your monitor is less than ideal. Photos are also offered with most titles at 800x600 size. Sir Rodney truly respects the work of Vivid Video and no one can deny that they are a leader in the adult industry. We were fairly disapointed that we could not save some old Christy Canyon or Racquel Darrian material. Furthermore, we were irritated by the offer to buy these 20-year-old titles for some offensive price like $24.95. Since most of these performers don't get royalties and they already got $30.00 for your membership, we'd think something more equitable could have been arranged. (Reviewed 3.07) |
