I mostly use adultdvd empire but one problem I notice is that on some movies the download will look kind of low quality, compared to if you just buy the same movie as a dvd. Is this always the case that a download will look worse than a dvd or are there some sources where you can buy older scenes, like 2009 and older and still download them in good quality?

Hi. In every case where I have downloaded a scene from the type of site you have mentioned, and from earlier years, like 2000-2005, the quality has been noticeably lower than the corresponding DVD scene. It is usually better to be at the original site. Of course, after 2010 or so, very often the web scene is of a higher quality than the DVD, because the DVD standard is always limited to 720 x 480 or 720 x 576.

^^^Your statement is too general for me to offer a specific response but I suspect that the video quality for ADE is unlikely to be better or worse than the dvd one since they both must have used the same source material to create their version. Now maybe the one ADE used was degraded and that's why it doesn't look as clean but it's also possible someone found the original master and invested time and money to clean it up but ultimately all it will do is offer a cleaner version of the movie that's available on ADE. It will not be in a higher resolution but simply have less static decay.

^I'm curious to know why you say the quality is noticeably lower? They each came from the same source except that the digitized version offered by ADE can no longer degrade while the same can't be said for the dvd version which has a shelf life inherent to the technology. Of course if ADE had to use a dvd that had degraded then their digitized video would be in the same shape but that would preclude that there were likely no better version of the movie. Your resolution for dvd are dead on but I'm not so sure that most people can tell the difference between a 480p and a 576p video.

Obviously the more recent the video is. The better resolution it will be but that's entirely because digital cameras have gotten better over the years and since there is no loss of data during the transfer since it's all digital then we don't have to worry about loss of video quality over time.

It's just an observation I've made. A lot of videos I've downloaded from adult dvd empire that were from the 2000-2009 era, the quality wasn't as good as what I've seen other places. For example I bought the first see her squirt dvd from a website and somehow the quality looked better than some later edition stuff from see her squirt which I downloaded off of ADE. Also I have downloaded some older clips from peternorth.com and a site called upox which also had some older scenes in better quality than ADE, but the problem is those sites don't have nearly as big of a library

(Sorry to go slightly off topic.) I actually got a DVD of 'Gobble The Goop 3' and the quality is shocking. I've tried to watch scenes from it a few times now, and the quality was so bad, I couldn't continue and had to turn it off.
