Advice pls - if you buy nonexcl. HD content - which size , bitrate , format ?
 

We are about to launch our HD collection in store www.adultczechcontent.com
Pls post your oppinions about size , format , bitrate ok?

We are thinking about each video in 2 different sizes

wmv in 1280 and 4000 bitrate
wmv in 960 and 2500 bitrate

this is how the sample in 1280 and 4000bitrate looks like

Great video, and great quality.

nice looking stuff you got there, I'll stop by next time I am getting some

full HD collection is great but its not up yet

nobody with advice ?

wanted to thank you guys - always great to see experts coming with their input

Your content is always of excellent quality and you know your stuff so I'm not sure what kind of input you're looking for.
That said, I don't think 960 @ 2500 bitrate is really enough. Have you thought about increasing the bitrate to around 3.5 - 4.5K for the 960 x 540's?
Popular formats are of course: wmv (vc1/windows media 9 codec); H.264/MPEG4; MPEG2;

I think its a good idea to make your content available with as high bitrates as feasible because chances are your buyers are going to convert it into many different formats themselves. The better the quality the more one has to work with in that respect.

Yes, MPEG2 is not getting much love anymore but fact is it's still a great format, especially at high bitrates. Personally I think H.264 is a bit overrated (doubters, go ahead and google stats on H 264 vs. VC 1 encoding) but because it's still gaining in popularity it might be a good option to offer your content in that format.

*ching* Two cents. :)

thnx man - exactly the replay I've been looking for

Definitely kicks ass compared to what any Tube sites can offer!

Good thread! Gives me some new ideas... :thumbsup

What is the file size of the sample?
