    640x480 vs 320x240 videos

    Which size do you think would make more sales? Share your view in general, or if you want to be more specific.

    1) On a gallery
    2) On a blog
    3) On a paysite tour

    Surfing speeds are getting faster, tube sites are growing, so does this mean consumers want to see bigger images and bigger videos?

      I find zero reason why one can not offer a large and a small, just have the large require an extra click. I figure those that are wanting the large and have the bandwidth to pull it do not mind a fraction of a second to perform an additional click. This also allows the slower people to get their sample and my chance to get their money.

        So rock-reed, are you saying that on hosted galleries you're offering 720 wmvHD?

          I absolutely am 100% sure that it's not the SIZE of the videos ... but the compression ratio ...

          think about it ... a VERY nice quality 320x240 video will be much better to watch than a shitty heavily compressed 640x480 video. It makes more sense.

            What you said makes sense Dave. But if you're running a 1000kbps on a 320x240 but 2000kbps on a 640x320 they should have the same quality and about twice the file size so they'll take twice the time to download. I'm wondering if a 640x320 would sell better on a gallery.

              I think its more what actually happening in the video than the size. It could be hd full screen and its boring lack luster shit who cares.

                  Agreed 100%.

                  That said, we have ALWAYS (since started making content 4+ years ago) done 720/640 x 480. Even before the high speeds of today were more the exception then the norm. Now many have broadband of some kind. That has been a major selling point based on the feedback of members.
