i think it's a touchy subject you can go either way. if you have surfers who are into HD content they will possibly like your hd content. but it's about the content first. if they arent drawn to it then it doesnt matter if you have it in HD. just look how many people go to tube sites with the crappiest quality.
Now if it's in HD what file sizes are you looking at? a 30min scene 720x540 at 2200kps you're looking at about 500-700mb. So how big is it for HD the same scene? 2gb ? that's kind of nuts for 1 scene. when you think about it members often download as much as they can for one month then quit. So you'll probably have to be one of those programs like realitykings that restricts the amount you can download in one day. that kind of sucks that you offer HD but then may have to restrict your members a daily download limit. or worse charge $50/month
i just hope that HD is just a download option, because from my stats on my site members tend to download the high versions more than the DVD quality. you have 2 types of members: ones who go for the highest quality and save the movies they download and then there are the ones who download, whack off and delete. The latter just wants to tug one off so it's about downloading as fast as they can and ease of viewing content. of course there are all types of surfers, some download lower quality versions and like it and want higher quality rips for saving.
like some posters said previously, it's about people's connections and computers. if you're itching to rub one out i dont want to wait 60 minutes for my download to finish and then be pissed when my computer goes into epileptic shock. or worse it ends up being a horrible scene and now i have to wait another 60 minutes for another download. and while many of us have fast connections you cant forget about the all your potential surfers.
