Online DVD Movie Rental Services

Movie Rental stores have been around since the early days of VHS and Beta video tapes. With the help of the Internet, Netflix was founded in 1997 and pioneered the Online DVD Movie Rental business. Online Video Rental Services generally offer a much larger catalog of Movie Titles than local Movie Rental Stores or cater to a special niche market. We will look at the two giant mainstream services (NetFlix and BlockBuster), other mainstream services, and some of the niche market services.
