First, browse the iArtHouse catalog and select a movie to download. You can add any number of movies to your shopping cart by clicking the "Add to Cart" button next to the movie title. If you want to learn more about a movie, you can also click the movie poster to see a details page that offers a synopsis and credits, or click "View Clip" to see a trailer or excerpt, "Photos" to see stills from the film and "Awards" for a list of any awards that the film may have received.
Step 2 - Start Download
After you've made your selection, click the "Start Download" button.
Step 3 - Install Free StreamBurner software (first time only)
With your first download, you'll also receive free StreamBurner software, which is available for both Windows and Mac OS X (10.4 or higher) computers. As you'll discover, StreamBurner is the only application you'll need to download, burn and archive DVD movies from iArtHouse. StreamBurner includes many bonus features, such as the ability to print professional-quality DVD labels/cases and launch your DVD to play in your preferred DVD viewer application. StreamBurner, also allows you to store your DVD downloads permanently on your computer's hard drive in library folders of your choosing.
Step 4 - Register & Enter a Payment Profile
In order to receive personal copies of the movies you have selected, you'll need to register by using your email address as your ID, picking a password and entering a credit card.
Step 5 - Automatically Download Your Selected DVD(s)
StreamBurner will automatically download the DVDs you select and then store them under StreamBurner's "My Library" tab. This will allow you complete control to save your DVDs permanently on your computer, move them to another computer and burn more DVDs for backup/personal use.
NOTE: Because video files require a large amount of data, a high-speed broadband Internet connection (cable modem, DSL, T1, etc.) is required to use iArtHouse.
Step 6 - Play Movie On Your Computer (optional)
Once you've finished downloading your selection, you can click the "Play Movie" button to launch the default DVD player software (e.g., InterVideo WinDVD, Nero ShowTime, etc.) installed on your computer. On Macintosh computers, the Download Manager launches the standard DVD player application that is included with OS X. Visiting iArtHouse on a notebook computer, allows the convenience of watching your DVD downloads on the road without a physical disc.
Step 7 - Burn a DVD
Click the "Burn DVD" button to copy your film selection to a standard recordable DVD (DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW) that will play on almost any DVD player. (If you're not sure whether your DVD player can play recordables, check with the manufacturer or test it with one of the free iArtHouse DVD downloads.)
Step 8 - Print Professional-Quality DVD Labels and Covers
When you purchase a download-to-own movie from iArtHouse, you also automatically receive DVD labels and case artwork. You can then use StreamBurner to print professional-quality DVD labels and cases very easily on stationery available from most computer or office supply stores.
Step 9 - Browse iArtHouse Catalog
StreamBurner allows you to browse the iArtHouse catalog for more download-to-own DVD movies. Although you may choose to shop directly on the iArtHouse website by using a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer), you will find that utilizing the Download Manager is more efficient.
Step 10 - Manage Your Account
The StreamBurner software simplifies managing your iArtHouse account. For example, you may view your purchase history, change your billing profile and do a lot more directly from StreamBurner.
