The Sparkle: Tour

“Ready To Watch Real Amateurs Fuck Without Fake Moans, Fake Tits & Fake Orgasms? … 100% genuine home made hardcore porn movies” is their promise. Homemade Videos X updates frequently using video submissions from amateurs. There are thumbnails from five different movies on the tour page, and you can download a sample clip of each. These do look like amateur movies, complete with bad lighting, but they also look pretty good – the samples show a variety of situations, from a hot housewife to a swingers party. At the bottom it looks like there are 270 more pages, but you have to join to see what’s on them. If you do join, you are promised over 200 GB of porn.

The Decor: Layout

Once inside, there is a long welcome message. Below that are numbered links to the amateur porn pages, and further down are clickable thumbnails for all the DVDs that are available for download. At the top is a navigation menu, where you can chose from Home, Submit Your Videos, Help & FAQ, Contact Us, and Updates.

The Gold: Content

According to the welcome message, they add 6 new amateur videos every Monday and Thursday. These are available in WMV. The movies vary dramatically in length, as they are made by amateurs, with some barely 30 seconds long and others over 40 minutes. There are 273 pages of amateur videos, with 6 videos per page. That’s 1638 videos as of this writing. Plenty to keep you busy for awhile, and 12 more added every week.

Clicking on “Download this movie” will open the movie directly into WMV, where it will start streaming within seconds, with a cable modem. They all seem to be 320 x 240, and while there are differences in video quality, most are pretty good. Right clicking on the button will allow you to save the video. A 7 minute movie downloaded almost instantaneously. While some of the videos left me cold, others were definitely hot.

Additionally, they offer amateur, exhibitionist, voyeur and general hardcore DVD’s, which are also updated every Monday and Thursday. Recently they have started encoding the videos in both MPG VCD quality, which can be burned directly to a DVD-R for TV viewing, and in WMV 2000 KB/s DVD resolution, for viewing on the computer. As of this writing, there were 146 DVDs, broken into scenes that you could either stream or download. The WMV scenes streamed within seconds, at 640 x 480 or 720 x 480. The MPG files took a while to download, using a cable modem, so I’d save it for videos you know you want to permanently add to your collection. You cannot browse the site while downloading in MPG format.

The Bling: Extras

At the very bottom of the home page are links to daily updated video feeds, with 44 different channels to choose from. Just click on the one that strikes your fancy, from BDSM to Gay Twink to Squirting, and it opens a window where you have immediate free access to any number of streaming videos from that category.
