Indeed. That puts an end to this discussion...

Still, I don't get one thing (and please note this concerns only the super huge SLRO original files, not the original files from all other studios): Which customer group is served by this? Who is the target audience? Obviously not the streamers and apparently also not the majority of downloaders who would be happy with the more than decent quality of bitrates of somewhere between 40 and 90 Mbps (instead of 190 and the insane file sizes that come along with it).

      SchnuppiLilac what it serves is the equivalent of drowning an auditor with 20,000 boxes of paper. They clearly don’t want us to download despite what gets said to the contrary. Action speaks so much louder than words.

      even the title of this thread (currently The logic behind SLR explaining everything) what it says to me is “stop bothering us with questions about what we’re doing and why!”

          doublevr changed the title to SLR vision and logic .

          It’s up to you to pull that down (good luck if you have data caps or maximum 10 Mbps connection in your town). After two days, once you have that raw original, it’s now up to you to re-encode to the quality and size that made the most sense in the first place.

            I haven't been here very long but there seems to be this weird disconnect between a site that wants to go in 9000 different conceptual and technological directions and a site that doesn't want you to download too much because they have limited resources.

            I just want some good looking VR scenes with more than 10 seconds of story. I'm gonna be long dead before all of this haptic hologram virtual ecosystem stuff will be anything near usable for most people. I'm still wearing a glorified Android phone on my head.

              To be honest, I was thinking the same thing. Nobody seems to need the super huge SLRO files at this point. It would take no additional resources to encode them in two instead of three digit bitrates in the first place. The files would cause less traffic and need less storage space, so SLR would even save some resources. But sure, if it's true that more than 99.9 % of customers are perfectly happy with 22 Mbps 8K or less (even the 4K h.264 client base seems to be more relevant), then I can understand why there is no real need for SLR to change anything.

                Would have been nice to have a high bitrate download alternative but as long as there is an original to download I'm pretty satisfied. Just bought a 18tb drive so...

                argyle43 he's too lost in his own sauce to realize the horrible state the foundation is in. I have zero problems with them doing R&D and expanding features, but only if they keep a good foundation (quality SLR videos). Instead he's up in the rafters tinkering while the foundation's quality gets worse and worse. Meanwhile competitors are putting out better and better content, with stories and lighting and high bitrates with great models.

                    bobbytables You are so right. For me if the other site with almost the same videos minus the amateurish stuff can get scripts then its game over. They make really high quality videos week after week.

                        doublevr I’m just here to watch VR porn! A lot of what you are talking is pie in the sky, years and years away from being a reality. If and when you get there and people have the equipment to take advantage of it, great. Right now though, as you have said, there’s a long way to go. How about then, for now, just releasing the top quality VR porn we all want to see and pay for and doing your R&D behind the scenes instead of releasing these primitive looking passthrough scenes that are neither one thing nor the other and don’t work in any meaningful way for most customers.

                            all i want SLR to be is a good portal/aggregator of VR porn releases from as many sources as possible, all in one place. nothing else.
                            i dont need anything else, just as much good content as you can get on the platform.

                            That's @doublevr's speech for joining the World Economic Forum or WEF. That's essentially what they were all saying in the lectures I heard. We're no longer human, we're existential digital beings.

                            For now just focus on good film-making (great job Alex Nashe) and a decent story and casting. Right now, in my opinion, SLR is wanting in narrative quality. Every scene, or at least too many of them, concern kinky family sex fantasies. You heard it here first: I've heard rumors that certain credit companies might be blocking the sale of that next, so spend your time and money on better narratives!

                            I think you should keep the original files option up to 30 or 40 GB. Anything larger than that should be divided in half, with the halves released separately.

                            Haptics are a little far down the line, though the devices one day may be extremely profitable for the niche group that wants that experience.

                              Thanks for that! Don't think of an Elephant! See how my username has infected your thinking 😉

                                  I hate multi-part releases. Hate them!! Proper bitrate encoding as already mentioned could easily create a sweet spot download size while maintaining perfectly acceptable view quality. Streaming customers don’t then have to have their experience interrupted and be frustrated waiting to get to the climactic parts. I pray this suggestion is summarily ignored/rejected and the logical arguments made by others above (see SchnuppiLilac) about download files be properly reconsidered!

                                  Any others feeling passionately about this (I know a lot of you are out there) please speak up as well, we really don’t need this lunacy ruining content around here further.

                                      Agree about avoiding multi part releases. I personally like to have best possible version of a scene so I like that they have the original versions on here, whatever the file size may be. I don’t download anywhere near as much as a lot of you guys though so that’s probably why. I’ve still almost filled 9TB but I really only download stuff that I’ve checked out and absolutely love.

                                      I assume the version of the scene they make available for streaming is a significantly smaller file size so surely it would be easy to make that file available for download as well as the huge original file?
