Indiepix maintains a patented download to own system [11] and has developed several search engine modifications to aid in content sorting. Their Disc Factory software is a small program that allows the download of an IndiePix film and burning of that film directly to DVD for home use. The download test is a free short film selected from their catalog. [12] Download speeds may vary, as the customer is downloading an entire uncompressed DVD.
