what is your lowest vid option in kbit? (program owners)
 

just wondering what your take is on quality these days.
we have 1000 kbit wmv as our lowest at the moment.

Thinking about adding a 512 option, as many still have those low connections.

Let`s hear what you all think :)

morning bump for you us gyus

Our smallest is 200Kbit/second, which includes both audio and video.

thanks Bossman.
you think a small one is still needed these days to keep retention with those who have 256-512 connections ?

I would think most can download files in the range 90-200 mb for a full lenght. and we do have clips for all movies as well.
Not really sure what to make of it :)
but hey, life would be to easy without problems lol

anyone else :)

we had the discussion of lowest common denominator regarding downloads and came to the conclusion that high-speed is obviously here to stay.

The customers we aim for are not trial customers or one month and gone... we aim for retention. By this logic, they must be able to afford our site long term, they must be able to afford a decent computer setup and a good connection. Therefore we deliver high-res photo and video. Quality beats out everything, every time. Which complaint would you rather hear??? it takes my videos a little longer to load.... or.... that video looks like shit.

hey Kevin

I`m with you on the quality thing. it is here to stay and more and more people will get the fast conncetions.
we have 1000-1500 and 2000 kbit now in different formats and we do belive in super nice quality as well.
but as you say, it also depends on who you members are and who you aim for. so comes down to the type of site in terms of content, design, overall feel ect.

Nice looking site you have there:)
