DVD download sites are wildly popular these days, and the top sites in the DVD download category are some of the best porn sites on the net right now. Videochicks.com is a rather small and below average quality entry in this large, fiercely competitive category offering hardcore titles from several different studios and in many different porno genres.
The Video Chicks DVD catalogue consists of titles from over 20 different studios including many I've never heard of but also some very recognizable names in the video porn world like Acid Rain, Demolition Video and Cutting Edge. A few of the studios listed on the site don't actually have any titles available which I found a bit odd.
If you add up the number of titles available for each of the over 25 categories, you come up with a total of around 140 flicks, however it didn't take long for me to notice that some of the titles are listed in more than one section. That being said, I estimate that there are around 100 full length titles available at Video Chicks in categories including teen, shemale, shaved, pregnant, Asian, ebony, big tits, lesbian, Latina, compilation, feet, DP, anal, fetish, hardcore, blowjobs and more. Several of the categories are extremely small with only one or two titles at a max. Some of the tiny categories are pregnant, midgets, BBW, gang bangs and hermaphrodites. When compared to adult site sin general, this is perhaps what I would consider a mid sized collection, but in the world of DVD downloads, anything less than thousands of titles is quite small by comparison. If the site were still growing I could more easily forgive the small size, but I've visited this site before and it hasn't grown at all in many months.
Not only does Video Chicks' collection fall short in terms of size, but the quality and options leave a lot to be desired as well. Far from DVD quality, these DVD scenes come at just 320x240 pixels and a bitrate of around 700 kbps which means that they may or may not look OK at their normal size and definitely do not look nice if you enlarge them at all from their very small size.
Membership to Video Chicks comes with access to around 70 other sites in the network. Around nine or ten of these include exclusive materials, though the quality is actually lower than that found at Video Chicks, and the rest are low quality sites which offer small photo collections and access to a few dozen third party streaming video feeds altogether. Overall I did not find the vast majority of these sites to be impressive at all, but they may add some value for you if you have a particular interest in one of the themes they cover.
The tour here isn't bad at all and gives you a pretty good idea of the types of porno categories you'll find inside as well as video preview trailers, all done in a mostly red, black and silver layout. Although not much specific info is given about the size of the collection, updates or options, they did go a little overboard with claims of "DVD quality videos" since these don't even approach that level.
The member's area here isn't as feature filled as I would normally like to see for a DVD download site, but for a collection this size, it works. You can search the collection by key word, sort the titles by studio, or view the various categories to find what you want. If you're interested in checking out the bonus sites, links to all of them are found at the very bottom of every single page within the site.
The titles are displayed on the results pages with a picture of the DVD cover, the names of the performers, the name of the studio, and a very brief description of each scene which seems to focus on the cumshot. You get descriptions like " Guy strokes on her face" or "Open mouth facial" which helps a lot for those looking for a certain type of cumshot, but doesn't tell you what kind of action leads up to the cumshot or who is involved in the action.
Once you've selected the title you're interested in, clicking the cover picture will lead you to the download and viewing page. Most of the info from the results page is also listed here as well. Each scene from the title is previewed with 15 screen captures and below the screen captures is where you'll find the links for both the streaming and downloadable versions of each scene. WMV is the only format offered and each scene comes full length only with no split pieces and also no way of downloading a full length title all at once.
Video Chicks isn't a bad porn video site, but when compared with other collections within the DVD download category, I find it hard to get too excited about 100 titles with zero updates on the way and poor quality videos on top of it all. Overall I'd like to see this one add a lot to the archives, bump the quality up to something at least worthy of full screen viewing, and start updating regularly before I can recommend it too strongly.
