Instead of downloading movies to your hard drives, you can watch them online. Youtube may be best but sometimes you have to search alot. There are many websites offer Asian movies and drama, but there are also software which allow you to watch TV, drama, movies. All you need is high speed internet.
Watching online
Embed movies to the website. The website have a collection of Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese, Chinese movies and dramas. Some of websites have a rating system provides users a hint of good movies and dramas. By watching online, the quality is not the best. If you want the best quality, you need to download which i will show you in “Where to Download”
- http://kungfu-flicks.com (Only kung fu movies)
aznv.tv provide a different service than other online service. You need to register an account, which takes few seconds. Once you are inside, you can search, browse movies and dramas by country (S Korea, Hong Kong, China and more). When you want to watch a movie, just download a m3u file and open it with winamp or your favorite media player. This means you can download all parts and watch it later without visit the website.
Where to Download
Sometimes you really like a drama and you want to download a whole set.The main reason for downloading is the quality is much better, but the size of the files are big.Here are some sources you can download from:
- Veoh
This site is just like Youtube, but the best thing about this website is you can download the movie you are watching. You need to install a plugin to watch full length as in veoh.com desciption: “To watch full length videos you must first install the Veoh Video CompassDownload Veoh Video Compass + Web Player to watch full length videos right in your browser for a seamless browsing and viewing experience.”
Just go to http://www.veoh.com/download and download the plugin. Install it and then search this Korean drama “The Man Who Can’t Get Married”, which i really like it. Choose one of the episodes and next you will see a download button.
- Torrent
Using torrent is a bit complicate but once you setup it right you will it easy to use. I recommend you use µTorrent at: www.utorrent.com. Just for a test please go to http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic_39509.htm and download “Kekkon Dekinai Otoko Ep 1-12 Complete”, this is a japanese original version of “The Man Who Can’t Get Married”.
What about subtitles?
Usually the subtitles are included in the download or movie. But sometimes you need to find them. For Korean i recommend this site http://withs2.com, and other asian subtitles at http://www.sars-fansubs.com
Watching TV online
To watch Tv online, you really need a high speed conection, and time to test. Right now i am trying tvants. Often these software are in chinese so either you can read chinese or just click around.
- PPstream (http://www.pps.tv)
A well-known software is ppstream and the streaming part is really fast. To bad most of them around dubbed to chinese or no english subtitles.
- PPLive(http://www.pplive.com)
Same as ppstream, most chinese movies and dramas.
