This ZTOD review is a LIGHT REVIEW based on the facts / status when written / updated on 2007-08-15:

The Site:
ZTOD is short for Zero Tolerance On Demand, which basically means that this is Zero Tolerance's site for on-demand porn entertainment on the Internet, with the content culled straight from Zero Tolerance's vast DVD catalogue, and with titles like Apprentass, Ass Cleavage, Blow Me Sandwich, Cumstains and Internal Cumbustions, just to name a few, you'll definitely find something here to match your taste (- you probably already know what to expect I'd guess hehe).

The Content:
The production company Zero Tolerance was named as such because they wanted to make the finest movies in the porn industry and that means zero tolerance for inferior products. And it certainly seems that they've managed to do just that – make fine movies, that is – because the quality of the content on ZTOD is really top-notch and comes from one of those studios regularly winning AVN awards.
As mentioned, ZTOD's content is drawn direct from Zero Tolerance, and what that means is that you get access to all the scenes in all of the DVDs Zero Tolerance has ever produced. But just because the content's been drawn from DVDs, it doesn't necessarily mean that you won't be getting photo sets here because you will since most video scenes have a corresponding photo set. And they're not just screencaps from the videos but photo stills that were shot the same time with the videos. It's also worth noting that ZTOD proudly states that they release their DVDs on ZTOD weeks before they hit the streets. Important info there for those who like to get first dibs on anything.
Zero Tolerance's DVDs have different themes and they only use the top-notch performers who're adept at that theme thereby remaining true to their mission of providing quality porn. And the themes they have do vary greatly, from anal sex, 'barely-legal' girls and lesbian orgies to creampies, double penetration and interracial scenes as well, just to name a few. And since Zero Tolerance is a professional porn production company featuring only the top porn talents performing in scenes where they're best at, with girls like Jenna Haze, Teagan Presley, Tory Lane, and of course, Zero Tolerance's first contract girl, Courtney Cummz, along with top European porn babes like Sandra De Marco, Sharka Blue, and Mya Diamond, you definitely won't be getting an amateur girl's half-hearted attempt in performing. As an added note, ZTOD has just made available a brand new series called “Waist Watchers” that's aimed at the BBW fanbase so expect more variety on ZTOD.
ZTOD currently has 205 DVDs available online, with a DVD having 3 to 6 scenes, and with the total number of photo sets available at 848. Also, the content gets updated once a week, although there no official update day, though. Fortunately enough, the DVDs display their release date so it's easy to keep track of the updates. ZTOD also has the best navigation layout I've seen, allowing you to search for the girls - all 733 of them to date! - by name, and by letting you search the content based on their genre/theme or by the title of a particular series which pretty much tells you what the theme is too. Being able to personalize your membership experience by letting you bookmark your favorite DVDs and photo sets for future reference is a nice feature too.
The videos can either be streamed (400x300, 544 Kbps, .WMV format) or downloaded as full-length videos in either low- (400x300, 544 Kbps), mid- (480x360, 1.62 Mbps), or high-definition (640x480, 3.12 Mbps) .WMV format or in .AVI format (576x432, 2.35 Kbps). As those numbers probably tell you - this is super high quality output wrapped around very nice, overall download options!
As for the photos, they can be viewed in standard (1280x960) resolution with a set available as just a single ZIP file for downloading convenience. A photo set can also be viewed as a slideshow and letting you choose the desired speed for your hands-free viewing pleasure.
But one of the best things is that as a bonus for ZTOD members you're also getting access to 3rd Degree's DVD videos at ThirdMovies (which of course we also reviewed for you).

The Criticism:
With such a voluminous content and with such first-rate quality, it's hard to find any fault on ZTOD. But to paraphrase a saying, nothing is perfect. And since even ZTOD's layout is top-notch - which almost all sites really have a problem with in the first place – just what is it that's holding ZTOD back from perfection?
For one thing, since Zero Tolerance's early works have been licensed to other sites, the content isn't all-exclusive then, with around 80% to 90% for use on ZTOD only. Still not bad but still a minus if you don't like seeing the content available elsewhere (but than again this should certainly be a minor issue). Tour preview console
