Much improved user-experience with this great studio’s website.
The search now allows you to search by DVD title and all results show up. Previous versions of the search would split the DVDs up.
Story driven-porn and it’s a near requirement to download each scene from each DVD or you may miss something.
7,048 scenes with no new updates since January 2020, but this is a site I don’t believe the updates are critical to.
Sexy stories, themes, outfits, settings, it has everything I’m usually complaining about other sites not having.
You can randomly download the older DVDs with confidence. That’s how good the classic DVDs are.
Even started adding transsexual content with 78 transsexual scenes mixed in. |
| Cons: |
I am not the most technologically-gifted person, but will note their classic DVD scenes claim to be HD, but I don’t see it. Those have the black fill-in boxes around the video. The classic DVD scenes do look good for the time period those come from.
Still no way to download a full DVD instead of scene by scene. |
| Bottom Line: |
I didn’t know a lot about Vivid until joining Porn Users and noticed a few members talking about the classic scenes. After looking into it, I was not only impressed, I found myself loving every DVD I watched from Vivid. The newer DVDs are good and are 1080p, but the best ones, in my experience, are 2005 and back. It looks like Vivid was at the top of the porn industry and were shooting a style of porn I really enjoy. There is a con with the inability to download the entire DVDs as one file. The older scenes are meant to be watched together. Some of those scenes are only 5-6 minutes but include parts of the story. If they could combine everything from each DVD into one file, I would score the site even higher. As it is, you have to download the scenes separately then either drag and drop them all to play in a row or try to merge them yourself. I use the drag and drop method and find I have to use a different media player than my regular one to get the best results.
These videos are hard to describe as scenes. There is a story and while it’s not that great of a story or that interesting, it shows what dialogue, build-up, maybe a little tension, adds to porn. At least for me. There are also complete series of DVDs that follow the same theme. If you find one you like, you will likely like every DVD from that series. I believe the one I knew of was, “Where the Boys Aren’t”. I remember hearing a few of the big name female pornstars received their big boosts in their careers from that series.
My favorite part of these scenes is the sex. Go figure. They gave me a story, a theme and outfits. I believe those all make the sex parts better. The classic scenes are not like the porn we see today. There is sex that looks like sex, not the sex-Olympics or the let’s see how many positions we can squeeze into a 22 minute scene. Didn’t Prince have a song about that? These scenes look like people having enjoyable sex. More modern porn, gonzo-style, sets out to show 5-6 positions per scene. Vivid’s scenes set out to show the men and women staying in the position that is feeling the best. You see more chemistry between the stars and it just seems more enjoyable to watch and for them to perform.
Fixing the search is a major plus. Previously, you could search for a DVD by name and would get 4 scenes show up. Those would be scene 2, scene 4, scene 5 and scene 8. Whatever they did to remedy it, it worked. You now get all the parts listed in a row for easy download. With the download button on the screen preview, it’s even easier. I did notice the classic scenes show 360p, 720p and 1080p downloads. The 1080p doesn’t look any better than the 720p and is twice the size. I’m not for sure why. The screen is surrounded by black boxes/borders that fill the resolution in. The good new is these are as clear as I’ve seen the classic scenes. It’s worth going back and downloading any classic scenes you have just to get the improved quality. It should be a site everyone joins that gets tired of the porn lacking creativity, humor, clothes, chemistry, story and dialogue. Maybe my favorite part about the scenes – every cumshot isn’t a facial. Lots of body cumshots in the classic scenes. |
