That online video is the midst of a tremendous growth spurt is proven by the number of companies and organizations from the 'old media' which will interfere with this trend. Take the Sundance Film Festival has set up the streaming service Doc Club. As the name suggests, it has been deposited in the documentary niche. That is not directly a new niche: Netflix majority decorates in documentaries.

The difference is mainly that what Netflix wants to offer almost everything, regardless of their quality and Doc Club focuses on viewing fodder for the true lovers. The idea is that all documentaries, whatever the subject, should be good and that the viewer should not feel afterwards that he had wasted his time.

We Are Colony is a service that calls itself 'the online home of the special edition. That equates to a range of more than just the films themselves. Fans of making-of documentaries, deleted scenes and interviews with key players can also enjoy at all.

Also quite innovative is the ability to read scripts of the movies- if you want to know what will happen, perhaps. We Are Colony is also not a subscription service, so movies can also be purchased individually or rented.

Who ever buys a digital game for the PC, no doubt familiar online store Steam. This service is the game shop on the internet. However, what many users do not know is that there are also films for sale. Steam began with films and documentaries aimed at gamers as for the medium made Free to play on professional gamers. This is indeed free to view as a preview.

A unique niche in relation to films Steam now has not, but it is useful if you both your games if you want to keep movies in one digital place.

Keep your movie collection and retrieval is obviously difficult if they are spread across many different services. Fortunately, since this week Just Watch available, a special search engine to search with streaming services. Looking for a specific movie or series? Perhaps you plan to rent a movie via Apple iTunes Movies, while he also available through Netflix. Just Watch shows you not only what he is all to see, but also whether it is a subscription service or that he has been loose for sale or rent.

Traditional TV still is not worried about the rise of online video services. The only question is: how long the industry can still afford such a mentality as there is so much choice?
