Good News to Mac owners who have been waiting for NetFlix’s “Watch Instantly” option, this service is now available to the public.
If you want to beta-test this option then you have to opt-in at the sign in page. Naturally, there are still a few things that you need to understand before you start streaming.
1. You’ll need to download Microsoft Silverlight, an Adobe Flash-like browser plug-in for playing web video. 2. Netflix is warning that there may be bugs since it is still very much in testing mode.
3. Not all movies are available via the Silverlight player.
4. You can only authorize up to six machines to play Watch Instantly titles
“It works very well. For those who haven’t used it before, fast-forwarding is a joy because of scene stills that allow you to see where you are jumping to. Buffering (loading a part of a movie if you jump to a certain part) is not bad at all.
Picture quality is decent — not great, but not awful. It’ll be better or worse depending on your Internet connection. The Xbox 360 version of Watch Instantly will offer content in high definition.” says VentureBeat
