| billybob Senior Member I don't like condoms in porn. 1115 Posts 9/10 | Hi Members, I'm a paid subscriber to evilangel.com. I'm very happy with the creative content provided by the website. I'm mostly happy with the encoding quality of the 720p and 1080p files. I'm extremely unhappy with resolutions lower than 720p. Please use this thread to leave feedback about Evil Angel.com If you have any complaints, suggestions, ideas, tips or anything please post them here. My suggestions to evilangel.com; - Web 'HD' 540p is not universally recognised as HD standard. 720p, 1080i, 1080p and higher are generally regarded as High Definition standards. Please don't tell me that as at March 7 2014 you have 4312 HD scenes when you don't really. Many of those scenes are in your fake definiton of HD in '540p'. Please re-categorise your HD content as being either 720p or 1080p. Web 'HD'? I call that bullshit. - You have available for some scenes WMV 'Low 160p', 'Small 240p', 'Medium 360p' and 'High 480p' and for MP4 'Low 160p', 'Small 240p', 'Medium 360p', 'High 480p,'Web 'HD' 540p (not really High Definition), 'HD 720p' and 'HD 1080p'. - 160p? 240p? Are you kidding? Even an iPhone 4 can playback 720p. Ditch the bullshit and drop these 2 resolutions. - Go back and re-master your older content and re-release it in HD 720p. You know 720p? It's actually a commonly accepted HD format unlike Web 'HD' 540p. - Take a leaf out of kink.com's book. They're pretty much ditching ALL of their crappy low-bit rate MPEG2.wmv encoded files and replacing them with High Quality 720p MP4 files. Also guess what? They don't have Web 'HD' 540p. - You're average bitrate on most of your 720p and 1080p content is quite good. - Possibly think about dropping your .WMV content if you can. MPEG 2 WMV is old school and is shite. Probably time to drop it if you can. Most people these days are able to play MP4 files. Again take a look at kink.com. They're purging themselves of WMV's. Probably about the same time you guys did. - Any of your scenes exhibiting compression artefacts/macroblocking need to be re-encoded in higher bitrate MP4. It's not Rocket Science. Whomever does your encoding needs to actually check the quality of their encodes before uploading the scene. If the scene exhibits compression artefacts at a given bitrate then how is it difficult to raise the bitrate to eliminate these compression artefacts? This is not a difficult concept to understand. If a 720p scene exhibits compression artefacts at 4,000Kbps then why not give 5,000Kbps a try? I don't see this being difficult. Yes the file size will be larger but your members will be happier with the quality. [Link] |

Bit rate : 1 220 Kbps Width : 720 pixels Height : 480 pixels MPEG-4 29.970 fps Progressive ***************************************************************************** JUST 1,220 Kbps!!!! That's rubbish. The Video Bit rate should be around double to triple that. So what if the file size becomes 842 MB to 1263 MB? Imagine the increase in quality delivered to the members? Please go through your whole back catalogue and re-encode all of your video clips into an acceptable Video Bitrate. Video Bit rates need to be boosted to around 2440Kbps to 3660 Kbps for a 480p 29.970 fps MPEG-4 clip. As stated this will double to triple the per-scene file sizes but the quality boost would be amazing. I would like to see these CLASSICS presented in the high quality that they deserve. At the moment unfortunately that's not happening. I challenge any to tell me straight that the Animal Trainer 1, Scene 1, 480p MP4 file is any anyway technically pleasing. The content is extremely high quality let down by terrible encoding quality. The quality is almost like a Tube-Site! Come on Evil Angel. Let your members know you care by presenting these classics properly. Bang Bros with their remastered series can do it, kink.com can do it (by replacing all of their crappy .wmv files) and so can you. You're one of the most important studios in the world but you're letting yourselves and your members down. |

What you're asking is for them to spend a fortune in time and money to re-encode all that, if it's even possible, because they would need to find the original masters, most of which will (if they still exist) be on tape.

So, perhaps it's time they re-encode this material in an updated format for their current fans and supporters. I mean, that back catalogue at Evil Angel is, in my opinion, some of the greatest porn ever made. There are tons of great Rocco, Christoph Clark, and Buttman scenes that would be incredible to have access to in better quality. |
