If you produce HD, nothing wrong with that. I would expect it to convert traffic well. Most people can't use it, thus have no reason to visit the site. You ignore a majority market when you only use HD.

Like myself... I don't have time to wait for anything HD to buffer or download. I click straight to the lower quality version. I have a huge 'net connection, I just don't like to wait.

In other countries, the extra size / time is a bigger Internet bill.

Shooting your content on HD today, means nothing more, than you over paid for something that will be replaced in 5-10 years with new technology along with content that is losing its shelf life (equal to non-hd but quality content) and will soon end up in the 1 cent buys you a box of porn deals.

And... the surfer doesn't care as long as the video is high quality and big.

That's a the kicker... so unless you have a reason to shoot in HD, like you broadcast to HD TV.

You're losing money.
