1. As I said, bandwidth not a concern. Just a member's area perk, that's all. Do you keep a bottle of Dom in the fridge? You don't drink it instead of water each day do you? No. But yet it's there...just in case. Same principal.
2. This isn't a useless "HD won't make it's way to the internet for some time" opinion debate thread. Take that somewhere else. I agree for the most part, but I'm talking about a minority here, just for kicks. 5gb in total space won't kill a server that's setup to handle 500gb worth of scenes. And yes, there are several ways to retain members. This is a small controlled experiement, settle down. And again, for the last time, if bandwidth isn't a concern, what's the problem?
3. Agree with the "I don't want to spend money on a camera that isn't used" jibe from the content guys. Nor would I. That's why I'm asking for those tech guys that might have taken the leap for fun already, on their own, and are experimenting with it. If you're operating by your shoe-strings profit-wise, and a $1.5k HD consumer handycam might as well cost $200k to you, then this topic isn't for you.
Back on topic: Any content producers fooling around with HD yet?
