Here is our members size Sample.

People notice the difference between a 1280x720 at ~3.8Mbps and a 640x480 sample at 1.5Mbps.

The bottomline is quality. Currently, HDV is allowing the creation of high quality content that is a dramatic improvement on the current 'standard'.

This is not 2001; people are expecting more.
