DVDs, as everyone is familiar with, are the latest trend in watching movies. With the invention of the DVD player, many people are opting to watch a movie at home rather than going to a movie theater. This beats long lines and also saves time and energy spent in driving to the movies.

The Internet has provided an alternative to all of these problems. Many online DVD rental agencies have a virtual shop online. A catalog of movies is available listing hundreds of movies. If you wish to rent a movie online, it is a very simple procedure. You first find an online DVD video rental site and follow the registration instructions. Usually, you are registering with a user friendly, secure website. You will provide information like name, address, phone and credit card numbers. A registration fee is almost always required, as well as a rental fee. To select a movie, there is frequently a search option that allows you to enter the name of the movie into a search box, and within seconds, your movie is located. After the ordering process is completed, your movie will be delivered to your home with provisions to return it as well.

Some of the online DVD rental stores allow for "queues" or lists of DVDs you would like to watch. This way, as soon as you have returned your current DVD rentals in the pre-paid postage envelopes, the company will send you the next DVDs on your queue. This allows for a continuous, no-hassle series of rentals at the monthly rate.

All in all, the online procedure is simple(just a few clicks of your mouse), convenient and a wonderful alternative to movie theaters. Just remember to stock up on popcorn.
