Bitrates
This article equates difference in bitrates as being directly related to quality accross different codecs, which may be incorrect if amazon is using a codec with better compression than the dvd video standard codecs. Perhaps the video quality is similar to dvd? Also, it seems to suggest that a 4.7 gig dvd disc is the standard for video releases which may not be true. 137.112.248.222 (talk) 03:19, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Download Speeds
My edit wasn't the best, but I thought people should know how absolutely pitiful the download speeds have been. I downloaded a vid right after it was released at 160 kb/s, which isn't bad, but by today (9/11) download speeds were at 17kb/s. Took me all day to download a single episode of chappelles show. --Karafias 04:53, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

There is a "Watch Now" button. I tried it with standard DSL. The movie paused every 15 to 20 seconds, then hung completely after 25 minutes. And you can't change your mind and try to download after pressing "Watch Now" unless you buy it again! Total rip-off. Physicsjock (talk) 03:19, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Unbox Ports
Can someone find some good documentation on the ports used by Unbox? I traded a (now lost) email with their customer support where they claimed that they are only using TCP Ports 80 and 443 for outgoing connections. It'd be nice to find it published some place so that it is verifiable. Also, their videos do play in Windows Media Player as they appear to be standard WMV encodes (with DRM, of course). GulDan 07:47, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I have no idea why people seem to think it won't play in windows media player. I didn't even try it because of what I read, but trying it now, works just fine ;p  --Karafias 08:04, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Criticism
Whould the size of the .NET framework even be mentioned? 24MB is like pissing in the ocean considering the service is used for downloading movies in sizes in the 2-3GB range.

81.233.73.177/Håkan (2006-10-31)

Cleaned up on the recent critique to try to make it more NPOV. Unfortunately, critique are, almost by their nature, not NPOV. This doesn't mean that I'm objecting to this section's presence, more just noting it it is more difficult for all involved (myself included) to edit correctly. I removed some factual inaccuracies. The .Net framework is 24MB, not 80 something (and whether it is cruft is definitely opinion). There are menus (in the upper right and context). You are able to manage download order as well as add and remove things from your download queue through the application. The only thing that I can find that you can't do through the application is pausing all downloads (which is done through right-clicking the systray icon (as noted by the editor)). Finally, if the player says in the EULA that it communicates with the service, can it truly be said to be secret? Yes it communicates (and that should be noted in the criticism), but I'm not sure if the word "secret" is applicable. (To be open, I have a generally positive slant on Unbox, use it commonly and like it. Because of this, I try to limit my edits to strictly factual stuff and no opinion, even neutral.) GulDan 06:35, 23 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I removed the following passage, which is not cited and sounds an awful lot like original research based on one user's opinion. 71.217.119.130 00:26, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The player is unusual, with no menu bar and just three main options at the top. There isn't full integration between the application and the download service -- you have to right click on the mini-task bar status icon to pause or resume downloads. The player feels slow and "dead", with no feedback as to what it's doing or what you can do next.

I'm afraid criticism is criticism. I really wanted to find some old episodes of Wild on E! (because hey, that's all I've done every summer, stay up late until they came on at 2a.m., but they're off the air now) and Unbox had them, so I was eager to give it a try. Before I did, I looked up everything I could find about it, and much to my dismay, I couldn't find a single positive review, just a "two thumbs down". Reading this article made it sound like the technology was spot-on, and I guess it should 'theoretically' work, but apparently it doesn't. Zchris87v 04:11, 17 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, the right thing to do if you have a personal experience is to write it up elsewhere. Wikipedia is not a place to share personal experiences- i.e., No Original Research.

No Linux Win DRM?

 * Unbox movies will only play in desktop applications that support Windows Media DRM, of which none exist for Mac OS X and Linux.

I'm not sure if this is true in regards to Linux because Tivo's software itself is a Linux app supporting Win DRM. A user would just need to install Tivo's OS on their Linux machine. --Ephilei 05:48, 8 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I've heard that the TiVo version of an Unbox movie is in a different format. Is it possible to install TiVo's OS onto a separate machine?  I've heard they only made the GPLed parts widely available/compatible.  I'd be surprised to hear that a non-MS OS would support Windows Media DRM. (Disclaimer: I work for Amazon, though not in the Unbox team. This does not represent the opinions of Amazon.com.) White 720 13:15, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

New name: Amazon Video on Demand
Effective today the name of this service is Amazon Video on Demand. The Unbox name lives on only as the name of the player application which is now optional. The default is to stream in a browser with Flash regardless of client OS. White 720 (talk) 14:29, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Criticism Section
Should a lot of this stuff still be here? For instance, complaints about the first version of the program that no longer exist are a bit silly. Also, the statements that Unbox only plays on machines with Microsoft DRM, and that it only works on PlayForSure devices are a bit redundant. Those statements also don't belong in the criticism section, considering that neither the iTunes or iTunes Store articles even have a criticism section, let alone one which mentions Apple's draconian DRM. Slow load times two years ago? I think that's a bit moot now. And overall, the DRM argument is moot now that the Video On Demand service is up and running. I'm going to cut a lot of this out. Dlmccaslin (talk) 16:50, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not silly, since Amazon's response to the original "bug" was to introduce another "bug". I.e. the second bug was inherited from the first. SharkD (talk) 03:19, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

There's one additional thing that wasn't mentioned: if you disable the service from starting with Windows, you cannot start or run the program *at all* in non-admin accounts. SharkD (talk) 03:21, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

This article desperately needs an update
It was last updated over a year ago. There is also an excess of references to "Unbox," which is a brand Amazon retired long ago. Amazon Instant Video is a hugely important product because it has by far the largest library of movies available for online viewing (through Prime, rental, or purchase). If you're a serious movie buff who primarly watches films online, you know Amazon blows Netflix out of the water. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.201.95.47 (talk) 02:42, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Merger of Amazon Instant Video UK
Hi I vote against merging Amazon Instant Video UK with Amazon Instant Video. Because the uk version has a slightly different name and it would be better to keep the us and German version seperated to the uk one we should also create the German one. And it says here the name of the uk version of amazon instant video uk https://mobile.twitter.com/AmazonVideoUK 176.250.150.202 (talk) 18:36, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't think (but I don't know for sure) that the USA version is not very different from the GBR and GER versions. Anyway, the article Amazon Instant Video currently is about all three versions, according to the introduction: [...] is an Internet video on demand service offered by Amazon.com in the United States, Amazon.co.uk in the UK and Amazon.de in Germany.. | FDMS 18:52, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * even though they have the same name they should be kept in different articles. So that it is easer for people to help edit the article. Meaning the uk and German version should be kept seperate so that the uk can have more information in the article. Because if we were to put the information in the us version there would be long pages of the German, us and uk version. 86.135.253.106 (talk) 19:02, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * What if Amazon founds other Amazon Instant Video versions? Please bear in mind that even after a merge the Amazon Instant Video article would not be very detailed. | FDMS 19:27, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * oh if they create more we could merge the uk and Germany version and call it -amazon instant video Europe- so that It would be about Europe then us version 86.135.253.106 (talk) 19:34, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I would suggest waiting for third and fourth opinions here. By the way, there is also http://mobile.twitter.com/AmazonUK, but not AmazonUK or Amazon UK. | FDMS 19:46, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * ok 86.135.253.106 (talk) 19:54, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * It's a global service and Amazon's plan is clearly to make it a single global platform without differences (beyond any regional restrictions). There's already AIV in US, Japan, UK and DE.  I don't think it makes sense to separate them.  The original article is out of date and could do with mentions of Prime Instant Video and new devices, but other than that, we should just use that page. 54.240.196.185 (talk) 20:00, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
 * ok but it is still good to have seperated article because one it would be easer to read it and two because you won't be looking all over the internet for the information. 86.135.252.13 (talk) 22:43, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * A merger doesn't have to result in any loss of information at all. | FDMS 16:41, 12 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Support - I don't think the slight differences between regional variations warrents several separate articles, even if there are slight differences between business names. 'Amazon Instant Video' is the global brand of the product, offering fundamentally the same service. I like the way PlayStation Network has a table to identify regional feature variations.

Critique on Page
Hello!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this article. I believe this page can benefit from an additional section of Amazon Original Content (A List is necessary) as well as how Amazon Video is doing compared to other video subscription services (like HBO, Netflix, Hulu). Also, there might be issues regarding the references chosen as many are from articles with more of an opinion-related tone. Does Amazon Video focus on creating original content or partnerships with HBO (as mentioned in the first paragraph). Who originally came up with the idea of Amazon Video (No mention of original creator)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kenml424 (talk • contribs) 03:07, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Amazon Video and (Amazon) Prime Video
Today I found out what the difference is between Amazon Video and Prime video.

They are basically the Amazon equivalent of BBC One and BBC Two yet when you click on Prime video it redirects to Amazon Video when they should be seperate.

This section - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Prime#Prime_Video says:

''The service debuted on September 7, 2006 as Amazon Unbox in the United States. On September 4, 2008, the service was renamed Amazon Video on Demand. The Unbox name still refers to the local program, which as of August 2014 is no longer available for downloading purchased instant videos. On February 22, 2011, the service rebranded as Amazon Instant Video and added access to 5,000 movies and TV shows for Amazon Prime members.''

^ A statement which is talking about Amazon Video not Prime Video

It's clear from looking at the website they are still separate things.

Amazon Exclusives are TV Shows/Films which were originally broadcast on a network/channel/service that has nothing to do with Amazon.

Prime Exclusives are TV Shows/Films which were originally broadcast on a network/channel/service that has nothing to do with Amazon.

Amazon Originals are TV Shows/Films which were originally broadcast on Amazon Video.

Prime Originals are TV Shows/Films which were originally broadcast on Prime video.

Prime Video originals seem to be mainly shows for adults, whereas the Amazon Video originals seem to be mainly shows for kids, therefore there's still a clear distinction between them, and should be separated imo. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/storefront/ref=sv_atv_0?ie=UTF8&merchId=Originals

Basically they'll play some, but not all Prime Video originals on Amazon Video, the same way BBC Two shows occasionally get played on BBC One.

Question Time

1 - Why have 'Amazon Video' and 'Prime Video' been merged?

2 - Can someone separate them and fix them?

3 - Why is the paragraph for 'Prime Video' on the Amazon Prime page talking about 'Amazon Video' rather than 'Prime Video'?

4 - Why are 'Prime Video' originals mixed together with 'Amazon Video' originals here, List of original programs distributed by Amazon and can they be separated?

 * I'm not sure asking those questions is helpful. You'd have to contact the editors who made those changes to get to know why they disd so. More relevant: Do you have reliable sources that explain those differences? Are all of those entities independently notable? What content, exactly, should in your opinion be separated?
 * My impression is that independent sources use "Amazon Video", "Amazon Prime Video" and "Prime Video" more or less interchangeably. As this article explains, "In the United States, access to Prime Video is also available through a video-only membership, which does not require a full Prime subscription." That seems to be the "Prime Video" website, and that seems to me to be the main difference between "Prime Video" and "Amazon [Prime] Video". By now this Prime Video-only membership seems to be available in additional countries; we'll need to find sources for that business expansion.
 * "Amazon Video" originals, ie non-original content for which Amazon acquired the sole distribution rights for some parts of the world, is listed on that page, IMO, because Amazon refers to that content as "originals" and because, for people living in those parts of the world, Amazon indeed is the "original" distributor, the first one to show that content in those countries. The list explains that they're acquired only and referred to as originals, listing them separately, so there's little risk of confusion. Splitting the list seems more likely to make our readers not find content they're looking for. If you disagree, the list's talk page is the place to discuss changes to the list.

Prime Video → Amazon Prime Video – The correct name is Amazon Prime Video. SportsFan007 (talk) 06:46, 4 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Support - The subscription service is Amazon Prime, and "Amazon Prime Video" is a sub-service of that. -- Netoholic @ 08:08, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose. "Prime Video" appears to be the correct title. PC78 (talk) 09:45, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * In reliable secondary sources, its never called "Prime Video" in a vacuum - its instead almost always qualified as "Amazon Prime Video". That's also the full name of it in various app stores and how its marketed on social media like Twitter and Facebook. The only places its seen as only "Prime Video" are on Amazon-hosted web pages as you linked. -- Netoholic @ 13:10, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose. "Prime Video" slightly better distinguishes this service from "Amazon Prime" itself, particularly in those places where it can be subscribed to independently and not as a part of its parent with a larger subscription. And to find this article, I searched specifically for "Prime Video" so as to reduce other hits for "Amazon Prime". UnderEducatedGeezer (talk) 05:53, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose. It seems "Amazon Prime" resembles too closely to "Amazon Prime Video" thus I oppose this change. I believe "Prime Video" is the name that has enough distinguishability. --KingMud (talk) 09:36, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Support. The common name in reliable sources appears to be the proposed title. See Rolling Stone Time Deadline CNET Variety. In addition, I believe the current title fails WP:RECOGNIZABILITY because, as Netoholic points out, sources that don't use "Amazon Prime Video" always refer to Amazon elsewhere.  Calidum   23:15, 11 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Support per Wikipedia's guidelines on commonly recognizable names in addition to 's argument and 's reply to . Using Pageviews Analysis, we can see that in between the time when Prime Video was created as a redirect on 17 July 2018, and when it was of this article on 25 January 2019, only an average of six people per day used the phrase to search for this article. [1 ]. In the exact same time frame, over 95 people per day on average used the phrase "Amazon Prime Video" to search for this article [2 ]. On 11 December 2018, "Prime Video" peaked during this time period at 37 pageviews. "Amazon Prime Video" had 166 pageviews that same day, which is 4.4 times more. It is clear which term is the more common name among the general public for Amazon's video streaming service. From personal experience, I have always heard it referred to as "Amazon Prime Video", and was surprised to find that the article's title is Prime Video – a truncation I have only ever seen in news or magazine article prose. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk &middot;&#32;articles &middot;&#32;reviews) 09:29, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:COMMONNAME. Rreagan007 (talk) 22:26, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:CONCISE and WP:COMMONNAME. It is by no means clear that "Amazon Prime Video" is the common name - it seems to be the name used very often in sources, e.g. It looks to me like it's roughly a tie in usage between "Amazon Prime Video" and "Prime Video", in which case we should default to the shorter name and the official name since nobody has argued that the current title is imprecise.  &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 09:55, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:CONCISE; also noted that the on-screen identification of the service is consistently "Prime Video", using the logo. The existing redirect from Amazon Prime Video is fine. However, I'm about to add the alternate name to the first sentence, to make it more visible, because this is a close call and the connection with Amazon should be immediately and clearly noted.

"Amazon Video" - what is it?
The article in several places uses the term "Amazon Video", but doesn't explain what that is, or what its relationship to "Amazon Prime Video", aka "Prime Video" is. The term isn't bolded in the introduction - is it a synonym? This page:, cited in the article, seems to indicate that it is not the same thing as "Amazon Prime Video", i.e., not just a short form of the name, but an actual separate thing with its own logo. But the article seems to use the terms interchangeably. For example, it says "On December 14, 2016, Amazon Video launched worldwide" - does that mean Prime Video launched worldwide, or something else? It would be great if someone who knows could try to clarify the article, because I'm not able to understand it the way it is written now. Thanks. --IamNotU (talk) 01:16, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
 * It's a previous name for Prime Video. I'm not savvy in the history of Prime Video, so somebody else has to verify when the name change took place; I only remember that "Prime Video" was the name of the service when the first season of The Grand Tour premiered. However, some instances of "Amazon Video" in this article needed to be updated to "Prime Video". I have gone ahead and done that, in response to your concerns. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk &middot;&#32;articles &middot;&#32;reviews) 12:45, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
 * , thanks, but the whole point of what I said above was that, according to the 2015 source, it is not simply a previous name for Prime Video. The source states:
 * "The Seattle-based e-commerce giant has shortened “Amazon Instant Video” to simply "Amazon Video." ... Amazon has also shortened the name of “Prime Instant Video” to simply “Prime Video.” This is the variation of the service that offers streaming movies and shows as part of a $99/year Amazon Prime subscription." --GeekWire
 * I see in this edit: that you changed some, but not all, instances of "Amazon Video" to "Prime Video". It does look like the December 2016 "worldwide launch" was of Prime Video (I found and added an archive link to the cited press release). But I'm not sure if your other replacements are correct. For example, you changed it to "Prime Video, via sister company Amazon Studios, owns global television adaptation rights to The Lord of the Rings". As I (partly) understand it, Prime Video is a product, not a company. I found that there is actually a UK company called Amazon Video Limited, and it was still called Amazon Instant Video Limited until last year (and the German company is still called that), and before that Lovefilm UK Limited: . It's referenced in Amazon's Terms of Use for Prime Video. I still think some better clarification about what Amazon Video means, with citations, and whether the remaining references in the article to "Amazon Video platform", "Amazon Video offering", etc., are accurate, would be helpful. --IamNotU (talk) 13:41, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I have of the passage. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk &middot;&#32;articles &middot;&#32;reviews) 13:54, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

Which languages are available per region?
In each country or territory which languages in either subtitles or dub are available for users to use? I mean is everything in each place, unless they are officially multilingual, just in one language or are some programs in different languages? How is this info found? -- sion8 talk page 06:08, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
