Video Quality Standards
-
I have to admit I don't check the 'quality' before I download. I check the cast and studio.
I mostly collect and post movies of the 1990s and early 2000s so, unless the movie is a remastered DVD, I get the quality that was going then.
Neither speed nor space is an issue for me. And I still watch some 8mm film transferred to VHS
It's only pr0n

If you're interested, I have the means of converting cellophane of any format to a digital video file. :cheesy2:
-
Thank you for the offer but I think I have collected all my 8mm films as digital movies over the years.
I still have the original reels thoughÂ
-
Sadly, I get a lot of that these days… Most of the cellophane to digital media conversions that I do nowadays are for people who either have home videos that you simply cannot get anywhere else, or are from people that I used to dance with at the dance studio before my accident who want the videos of their competition performances converted over to a digital format. Speaking of conversions, I find it strange that I'm getting more requests these days for converting vinyl to MP3 and/or Audio CD.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again.... The great thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from.

@Osiris3:
Why do most guys on here seem to prefer SD? Is it an issue of hard drive space?
This is the biggest reason for me. I tend to hold on to videos and seed them as long as possible, and space becomes an issue.
Besides, I watch them on a laptop, and honestly, as long as the image is at least 512 or so, I don't usually notice the difference. -
For me i don't care SD or HD Video But I love to watch HD Video (720p or 1080p) because most of vides I watch on my 40" TV with HD Player.
Some vintage or a rare videos I always enjoy when i got it to my own :cheers: :cheers: -
In my case, preferring a lower resolution has more to do with my video card than anything else. See… I'm on Linux running a particular ATI Radeon HD card that ATI has yet to release a proper update for, and thus, I'm having to run on the standard open source Xorg video drivers, which cannot always handle higher resolutions with a higher video bitrate. As for others, I cannot really say, but I would imagine that hard drive space has a lot to do with it.
-
I allways love HD video, at least 720p, because my TV is 65 inch, standard is so many mask.
-
There's nothing worse then downloading a hot looking vid to find out its resolution is around 320 x 240Â
-
usually 480p is alright for me
-
But, spunkie, the joy in finding a long-forgotten gem that has only ever been posted in 352 x240, the standard back when I was young and we had no choice with our 56kb/s dial-up connections.
I have thousands of 352 x 240 (or 288 for PAL) movies, wouldn't be without them
-
should be at least 720p…
