I did notice that SLR is offering way too small file sizes (bitrate too low) for streaming newly added videos.
With VR Videos its all about bitrate when it comes to good quality.
While i do understand that you try to lower the used streaming bandwith i think you do that way too aggressively forcing us to download videos.
For example you re-encoded an 18gb 8k video down to 4,7gb which will under so circuumstances result in a decent quality specialy with that high resolution!
Acceptable bitrates with good re-encode settings are the following for H265:
8k 35-40 mbit
7k 30-35 mbit
6k 25-30 mbit
5k min 25 mbit
4k min 20 mbit
The exception is for your own SLR Originals Productions which i think has a really good quality even at lower bitrates because the source quality is just soo good! But it just does not work for other studios because their base quality is often already questionable.
So please re-evaluate your strategy for lowering overall bandwith because the route you take right now (lowering dl limits again + way too bad streaming quality) is more anti-consumer than anything else and will for sure not make me personaly stay subscribed for long - which would be a real shame.
And keep in mind - you have competitors which for the most part do that really well.
Thank you.
