And one final point, yes some of the file sizes are ridiculously large with HD porn. A typical 35 minute movie that I deliver as a WMV or QT file at 1280 x 720 might come out to about 1 Gb or more in file size depending on the bitrate I export at which is obviously huge to download. But the program can break this up into multiple pieces for the surfers and I also am sure to deliver a smaller frame size and lower bitrate for lower bandwidth user and those who do not want to wait.
I actually prefer watching the 480 x 270 size version of these 16 x 9 HDV shot videos. Depending on your monitor I feel it looks sharper than the larger frame size file. It certainly looks better and with more detail than an SD version of the same video if it was encoded (all other things being equal) at say 640 x 480.
Believe me, I''d be happy to go back to SD filming if it was better. Editing and encoding HD is a lot more work for me, the editor, but I think it is worth the effort quality wise. Of course once again it goes without saying that the skill of the producer and lighting matters as much or more than even these technical points
