MegVid is another streaming movie site offering mostly recent films from within the last 5 years. The site is clean and seems to be hosted on e-blogger with a few ads scattered across the site. The movie diversity is limited and all of the movies are hosted on megavideo meaning you're bound by the hourly time limit so its going to be difficult to watch an entire movie since they've recently brought down their limit from 75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes) to 50 minutes. The tips to bypass the time limit simply don't work. With that said there were a few movies that didn't work but the newer posted movies all seemed to work.

The Overall Ratings for MegVid:
Show Diversity: (2/5)
Based on the mixture of television shows available on the site.

The lower the rating, the less annoying the ads are.


Total Score: 13/20

MegVid is an ok site but it's mostly riddled with the oversight of most megavideo hosted movies disappearing or being deleted, and the minimal viewing time available to watch movies hosted on megavideo. It would do them better to improve the overall design of the site, and branch out to other hosts.
