Have you been "spoiled" by High Resolution Porn???

[Pawpcorn]

I've thought about this a bit lately, (ok, a LOT ) and I don't THINK I've ever seen a discussion about this topic, so I'm bringing this up… now...

I will speak for myself... after a couple years of having watched the AMAZINGLY CRISP (often 1920 x 1080) Videos that Staxus, Helix, and Bare Twinks (and a couple other) studios have to offer...

I find it "unsettling" to try an watch the older stuff...!!! And I mean "unsettling" as in... I really just can't stand to watch older, lower resolution videos any more!!!

AND this coming from me... who used to be a HUGE fan of the OTB (energized Latinos, fucking like rabbits, gobbling / swapping cum, etc)...!!! NOT to mention the Island Caprice Videos, with those cute Thai guys....

NOW... my brain just goes... "ho-hum... {boring...} let's find that recent Staxus video I downloaded...!!!" 

Really, my "mental-porn libido" has just become spoiled, and seemingly only satisfied by HD Porn, and even 1280 x 720 is "marginal"  !!!!

So I bring this topic up, to get feedback from our esteemed membership, looking for member feedback on this topic...

Have YOU too, been "spoiled" by HD porn??? :blink:

Or am I "abnormal"  :laugh: ??? (having been a career Post-Production Video Engineer in Hollywood for 25 years...??? {prior to my current expat status} MIGHT just have made my "mental focus" unusually sharp or critical, even...?)

So I'm wondering if my former job made me more sensitive to "video quality" than most people... This COULD go a long ways toward explaining my most favorite free-time hobby, that being "Remastering" (Color Correcting and Editing) HD porn videos...  MANY of which have found their way on to the site, here...

Thanks, in advance, for your feedback on this topic of curiosity on my part...

BTW, I've started some new Remastering projects, a 1920 x 1080p 5 member Bare Twink Orgy, originally a two parter, over-chromatized greenish-skin "masterpiece" (well, it will be, when joined and finished, lol)......  Soon to be followed by a 1280 x 720p SDB two parter, to be joined and sharpened, TOTALLY HOT Latino {read ENERGIZED etc. as mentioned above re: OTB). I love my free-time hobby  :cheers:

Hugs,

You are definitely abnormal (but we knew that already :D)  I am not so particular about video quality.  My sister now wants all her TV in high definition, and I am perfectly happy with standard run TV.

As to the porn, well I still enjoy the Island Caprice classics  :cheers: :cheers: and the quality doesn't interfere with the content!!  It is nice, however, to see the latest Staxus and Helix high quality video.

[Pawpcorn]

Yup, gotcha there…

Certainly for our members who are "ratio challenged", the sheer file size of SHD porn videos is "daunting", to say the least...

My 30 minute BareTwinks Remastering job (that 1920 x 1080p video) that I finished last night came in at over 2.8GB  :afr: :crazy2: pushing for a "Q" factor of 0.2 (smallest number, smallest size for "perfect" quality…) and that was using H264 video compression, with lame3.98 mp3 audio, for size optimization...  :crazy2:

Still, I'm certain there will be a significant number of members that end up downloading this HUGE SHD orgy video, for their pleasure and enjoyment...

Unfortunately, it's a Christmas-themed video  :cheesy2: so I feel I must wait until December, to release it... :cool2:

Working on a great SDBoy Latino video, currently, now, however which should be ready for release within a week or so...

Thanks for your feedback, JackNY !!!  I know you meant "abnormal" in a "good way" LOL  ;D ;D ;D :love:
...as in "special", "unusual", or... "gifted", eh?  :cheers:

P.S. I gifted you "Reputation" points, and I'm sure you'll return the favor, by clicking on the blue heart, eh?  :hug2:

I tend towards jackny.

I was watching some original AMG 8mm films yesterday and enjoying them

[bimsbims]

you are not alone! lol. i find this to be the case for me with all content, not just porn - with feature films i'm like "if it's smaller than eight gigs it's not watchable", and when i find an interesting porno i always search for the exemplar with the highest quality (sean cody's 1080p is just a bliss). this might also have something to do with that i often gif and take screen caps! this being said though, the "older" and lq stuff hold a completely different value; some of it is really aesthetically pleasing, and the really vintage stuff with glitches and graininess is just so… charming? lol. plus i often get obsessed with a certain actor (both in porn and non-porn) and then i'm totally willing to watch lq stuff just because they're in it :blind:

[Pawpcorn]

Ah, nice to know I'm "not alone"  :hug:

I do the SAME for Hollywood releases, as you; ALWAYS search out the 1080p version, yet limit file size to between 8GB and 12GB or my media box chokes on the data throughput, plus I'm limited on storage space (2TB HD in the media box, it's full, and I'm shuffling a 380GB mini-hard drive back and forth from PC to mediabox, in the meantime…

Back on the subject of porn... I see my choice as key to my sense of "visualization" (for lack of a better term, to where my psyche is certainly imagining that I'm THERE, IN the action  :cheers:)... The Higher the resolution, the BETTER I experience my fantasy of visualization. My lifelong "gift" of being able to "visualize" or "fantasize" in real detail... has been my curse, as well as my blessing... I'm a natural daydreamer. ::)

On another porn website I visit... I see upload offers (of the same video) in immediate sequence in 2 or three levels of resolution... and always (of course) there are members who choose one over the other...

Case in point: A current (new release, major studio) 3 listings, right now, about 2 1/2 hours old…
1080p   1.01GB   5 seeders, 3 leechers   (15.7%)
720p     540MB  21 seeders, 8 leechers   (56.8%)
std res  265.25  10 seeders, 4 leechers   (27.4%)

So... I guess I'd be in the 15.7% category of people who desire (and can afford) the 1080p HD version...
...and the vast majority chose the mid-range quality 720P version...
...and a little more than a quarter of the folks chose the standard lowest resolution version...

interesting on-the-fly survey, eh?

I'm in the minority  :blind:

I know what site you are referring to with the various resolutions.  I avoid the 1080p choices.  Be careful of that site .. they don't always label the movies accuarately.  A movie that is labeled 1080p is sometimes low resolution, while a movie labelled as low resolution is actually high.  One thing I bitch about a lot is when someone takes an original low resolution movie, and encodes it as a 1080p movie which does nothing more than make the file bigger.  That annoys the hell out of me.

I do like watching modern porn in HD. But I still also love my vintage porn even though the quality is quite poor. I have my computer connected to my 55'' Curved ultra 4k HD TV. Was just wondering have any porn been shot in ultra HD has of yet?

[Bengalis]

A bit but I'm not that demanding as long as the quality is at least clean and clear (or somewhat). HD is definitely a plus but I like to have stuff in SD at least.

Anything worse than that is just too bothersome to watch even if it's EXTREMELY HOT. Which is a pity since a lot of really good amateur porn is shot with a potato.  :cry2:
