At any rate, this is a much better idea of what the competition is doing out there. If it surprises you, you should probably give your head a shake. I know you said you are a production guy. It doesn't surprise me that you're surprised by all of this. This industry is changing. Our criteria is changing as a result. Adapt or... 
We'd make a lot more money if that was the case. It's just not so at our shop. |
As when I met you, you are ignoring the points I made.
Is the quality of video just the bit-rate at which it is encoded ?
No, it is the sum of many factors, as can be seen in professional film production.
What does it matter what the competition is doing?
A real review site would take all factors of quality into account.
The more effort a producer makes the lower you score them.
This does a disservice to the punter and the industry.
That fact that 8000+ bit-rate movies won't play on most computers makes the scoring just mad.
