  • AV1 Is Now Live on SexLikeReal!

21mb/s for h265 and even lower for av1 is crazy bad. Way too low indeed. Seems they went the cost saving route instead of improving quality with av1 then. Hope this is a mistake too

doublevr What the deal with lack of original video download option on the last 2 SLR originals? Its because of AV1? If it is, then this option is very bad.

      mixbets78 It's not because of AV1. It's because they want you to pay $7 extra per video and they are hoping people are ignorant enough to think AV1 is the reason.

        doublevr You waste pixels on 190 FOV when most headsets struggle to even show over 100 then you lower the bitrate. I don't know all the details but it looks low quality. You don't need a degree from MIT to see when something looks bad to you. You know it when you see it. I know what the original videos looked like before and what the new ones look like now. They look obviously worse. If there was no difference why are you even selling the PPV version?

          rerun119 There's no answer to that. Every video is different.
          doublevr "GTFO" does seem to be the sentiment SLR has for customers and maybe that's what we should do.

                Why the hell I'm going to post and have the trouble and work of do the compare between AV1 and original bitrate? That is your work on seeing the obvious lack of quality. If you dont see it, I suggest you buy a pair of glasses.

                And paying for high bitrate when I already pay for a subscription? Its just the tip of the water in terms of greedyness. If this is the way, its the wrong way and I'm not giving you any dime for it.

                Thank you.

                I did some tests and compared the AV1 and H265 versions as well as an old video in high bitrate master format. In the AV1 version we lose the granularity of the skin at the cheeks. There is still a loss of quality which reinforces the blur effect. On the master we see more granularity of the skin. I would have compared to the master version but we don't have it on this video. Now maybe this video has a problem. SLR seems to be investigating the quality issue I raised in the comments of this video.

                From master video:

                  Last time someone made the effort to post such comparisons, I think the response was something like: this is negligible, you can only notice this if you really want to find it, end of story. But from a VR porn consumer's perspective, these quality improvements, how little they may be, make all the difference.

                    SchnuppiLilac I was curious to compare. Honestly, with the headset, I couldn't differentiate between AV1 and H265, even if we lose quality. This video is blurry by default because both formats are encoded at a low bitrate. Now we can clearly see the difference with the master on another video, and for now, I can't see the quality of the master in AV1.

                        Thread seems to be from before Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro were launched. Moreover, better cameras and lenses surely have released since this.

                        Your statement seems to be "4k video is like flat-earthers, all anyone ever needs is 720p video to enjoy media content"

                        I hope you understand the analogy.

                        We can have a frank discussion about what seems to be the problem on your end instead of running around in circles.
                        The audience (we) clearly want High Bit Rate Videos. That's the entire reason a lot of us signed to SLR for.

                        Are you as a company facing financial woes because of hosting costs?

                        If what you are saying - HBR Downloads are just a fraction of the SLR user base then that should barely be a drop in the bucket in terms of hosting.

                        If that is not true and more people are actually downloading HBR files, then I can understand.

                        Instead of trying to shoehorn the audience (us) into your vision of Low Bit Rate Files, why don't you come up with a better game plan to make SLR more sustainable?

                        There's a saying "The Customer is always right.... in their taste", why are you telling us what to like or prefer. We clearly have the taste for HBR videos.

                          boudaba Putting aside image quality for a minute, I am curious whether you are okay with the skin coloring in the latest SLRO PT scenes? The other day, I was looking into the SLR PT scenes with Lexi and Emily, and I got really distracted by the Twilight Cullen family-like skin tones, to an extent that image quality stopped mattering. In the same session I was watching the Anissa Kate PT scene from AR Porn with a much more natural skin tone, and this one was super immersive for me.

                              SchnuppiLilac You mean they're wearing too much makeup too white or the spotlights are too strong on their faces (I'd say this option)? What shocks me is the blurring effect. In the last video "Pink me!" in missionary position, her pussy is really blurry in addition to having a lack of light. So I don't know if it's the quality of the video or the way it was filmed the deep problem. I really hope this video will be released in a better format. The actress is so good that it's a shame not to see the texture of her skin.
