If you have ever wanted to rent movies from the comfort of your couch or computer, you can now do so with ease, thanks to numerous online services that allow you to skip the movie store.

In Canada, it would seem online rental services are not damaging local video stores; likely because several companies have created their own internet-based rental systems in recognition of the demand.

“We’re not noticing that big of decrease in customers. It’s not affecting business,” said Matthew Miller, an associate at Movie Gallery.

In the United States, though, there are more competitors in the online TV and movie rental business, and traditional rental companies are feeling the effect. So much so that some journalists are predicting the fall of rental-giant Blockbuster.

“For Blockbuster, there is currently no prospect for growth. Not only is it incapable of breaking the Netflix shell, the brick-and-mortar stores are failing, and there is little chance it will be able to capitalize on the future of movie rentals—downloading,” says Don Reisinger of CNET’s News.com.

Some people don’t seem as willing to stop renting movies the old fashioned way, but online rentals are becoming more popular with those who have the hardware to take advantage of them.

“Downloading movies today requires a certain degree of tech savvy-ness and the appropriate hardware in your house–which may or may not be connected to your television set. So, there’s something to be said for going down to the store for an impulse rental,” said Gordon Haff, a writer for News.com

With Netflix, there are no late fees. Customers pay a flat monthly fee, and movies are mailed to them one at a time, and mailed back when customers are done with them. Zip.ca is the Canadian alternative, and works much the same way. Each service allows consumers to rent more than one DVD at a time, at an increased price.

Netflix recently introduced streaming TV shows and movies to your computer or TV, given you have a high-speed connection and capable equipment. Zip.ca doesn’t seem to offer this service yet.

I just saw a preposterous banner ad for zip.ca (a popular online movie rental house). It gushed that they have “over 75000 videos for rent,” providing a total of 152000 hours of “unlimited entertainment.” Is it just me or is it GOD-DAMNED RIDICULOUS to claim that something is unlimited immediately after precisely quantifying it?!? Gah!

Edit: I just saw the ad again and it seems to have been changed to “non-stop” entertainment (though I suppose it is *possible* that I just misquoted it in the first place).

Edit #2: I just saw the ad again and it appears that there are actually two versions, one of which does indeed suggest that zip.ca provides “Over 152000 hours of unlimited entertainment.” Whew! I had started to worry about my faculties for a moment…

Many others have blogged on this very topic, so I’ll keep this post pify.

For some reason, several years ago, Netflix decided that it was not worth their time expanding into Canada. Probably because they realized that with the postal service up here, even if they had a distribution center every 5 kilometres apart, they couldn’t guarantee their normal standards for delivery (1 day).

Whatever the reason, this left the marketplace wide open for many Netflix-wannabe competitors to sprout up. The largest became ZIP.CA.

Well, ZIP.CA is kinda like Netflix except it has less selection, charges more, has extremely limited availability of popular titles and low availability of everything else, and is slower because it uses CanadaPost rather than USPS. I’m sure you already know this.

What you might not know is that even the envelopes suck! For everyone who is used to those neat reusable envelopes that Netflix sends out, be prepared for something a little bit more low tech. ZIP.CA sends their DVDs in old-fashioned envelopes, the kind that you have to bust open with a letter opener. Not even a perforated tab.  Inside, you find a seperate return envelope folded up.

I guess Canadians aren’t so environmentally conscious afterall.

Now I know that Netflix has a patent on their envelope scheme, but couldn’t ZIP.CA come up with something a little better than this…

While there is nothing particularly new about DVD mail rental services, they are new to me specifically: after putting it off for months, I finally buckled and started a Zip.ca subscription – and I think I might never watch TV again. Rather than another long rambling post, I’m just going to get all ‘listy’ to explain why I am so impressed:

1. Selection. The long tail effect means that the selection is far better than a regular video store. Choices range from obscure TV series to independent films to ‘World Cinema’, all of which are either in short supply or simply unavailable at Rogers Video or Blockbuster.
2. High-def. Want to rent HD-DVD or Blu-Ray films in Canada? Well, unless you live near a handful of stores across the country, you’re out of luck. Zip has Canada’s largest selection of films in high-definition and for audio-video geeks like me, that’s awesome.
3. Make your own Schedule. Much like owning a DVR or Tivo, renting by mail frees you from externally imposed schedules. You can watch a disc the moment you get it or a week after – it makes no difference. Furthermore, renting TV serials like Lost on DVD lets you string episodes together in sequence, all with no commericals.
4. The Queue and Choice. When you walk into a video store, what you end up walking out with is dependent on a variety of factors: what is available at that time, what has been recently released and what is being heavily advertised. Your Ziplist can accumulate over time, letting you add films whenever you think of them. Ever walked into a store thinking you’d get that obscure film you’ve wanted to see for ages, only to walk out with Super Troopers? Having an online queue allows you to be less swayed by marketing and more in tune with your own tastes.

Now, I know this is somewhat crass boosterism – but someone as relentlessly negative as me may as well give praise where praise is due. Of course, I have yet to see what their customer service is like and there are some nightmarish reports around. Still, for the time being, I am going to be adding things to my Ziplist like there’s no tomorrow.
