SLR keeps saying there’s no visible difference between their 8K 20mbit/s “max quality” version and the original… but still wants you to pay 7 euros for that removed original because it’s soooo much better. Which is it? Either there’s no difference, or you’re charging for something you claim doesn’t matter. Pick a lie and stick to it.

Also, AV1 is just a codec. Its only benefit is better compression, which is completely irrelevant when you’re comparing it to the original.

Anyone checked the SLR Originals upcoming scenes that have a trailer - The Horizontal Offset is way off (Approx -4) !

Quality control needs a bit of work i think - I'm guessing the full release will have these issues too.

    petex67 Will you guys be making Master HEVC available for PPV?
    I wanna make sure before I make a purchase.

    If there were HEVC masters, I wouldn't understand why we can't download them right now like before. The man said this is because there are none. So if they come back, I trust they will not be PPV but part of the premium subscription package again.

        Silly-Sausage Some image distortion issues had been mentioned already in the comments of the Agatha scene when there was only a trailer. Was the full release okay? Haven't watched it yet.

            Hey Silly-Sausage
            just checked, and only trailer affected
            the scene itself is fine
            must be a mistake by editor who made trailer
            i personally check every scene, but not the trailers.
            thanks for pointing out
            will be fixed soon

                Not sure, i haven't watched it either

                  I am glad they've changed their mind. Still having trouble finding the old download button.

                    petex67 Does paying $6.99 even do anything right now?

                    Right now this is just for tipping but it will put smiles on faces for sure 😅

                      I adapted the image with a screenshot I just took from the video and you can see how smooth it is on our side and how there is a lack of detail. I indicated the same value as you in millisecond but my frame looks lightly different. However you can see the difference.

                      Here's the screen shoot took at 00:01:22:30 :

                      I note you have one hour in your time code but it's the end of the video at this time and not the first minute.

                        boudaba Yeah huge difference. Just compare the tip of her nose in those photos for example.

                          This is what I've been trying to convey from the beginning. I'm no expert in video software, but you can see the difference between their version (studio) and the one we have (customer). It would be interesting if they compared with what they give to users and not from their assembly files.

                            boudaba yeah not sure what's going on, the version they released to us is substantially worse than the 8k version. And if you look for example at the tip of her nose, you can see also a substantial difference between the master and the 8k version. Not sure if @doublevr is even aware of this?

                              boudaba you realise that the max8k is the streaming file that you can download?
                              why is your screenshot even worse then the max8k? its supposed to be the same
                              how do you make a screenshot?
                              if you simply go by shift+win+s (default windows screenshot shortcut) then its not ideal for comparison. that way you basically take a screenshot of whatever resolution your screen which is different from making a SNAPSHOT from a video, which just extract an 8k frame from it.
                              same happens if you take a screenshot from your headset
                              please do let me know what way you do it
                              otherwise it makes no sense to compare it to anything

                                I understand not providing 60-100+ GB vids to download for every video, but at least keep the streaming file as it was, just don’t provide it to download?

                                I’d say its reasonable, no other studios provide the raw file except SLR in the past. But diminishing the main streaming quality in the process seems like a big setback

                                  I love how everybody keeps acting dumb, like they dont know why people are complaining about the 8k max compressed download options now. You really expect people who prefer to download the maximum resolution file to pay 7 bucks more per scene if its not even that different? Are you mad? If this is how this website will go moving forward I will not support it anymore and I hope everyone else who also feels the same way will to. Give us the option to download the higher bitrate downloads

                                  Manny_S There is barely any difference in file size between HEVC and AV1 and Max is compressed as hell. My PC cant seem to playback AV1 smoothly, so if you are not actually saving any significant amount of hosting space with those minimal savings in file sizes then what is the point? Image looks a little sharper? Then just crank up the damn sharpness ok the HEVC a little more and you cant even tell them apart. What a waste
