Are we nearing the end of HD videos? ATK went from 2.5mbit videos down to 1.5mbit videos beginning of this year. DDF this week switched from 4mbit 720p videos down to 2.5mbit 704x528. Perfect Gonzo sites have amazing 8mbit 1080p videos but many of their sites have stopped updating. Is this the new trend elsewhere too? Sure it's a small step up in quality, but it's a huge step back down once accustomed to HD videos... Sad

Not all sites are going downwards.

Actually, I just took a closer look at 1by-day, and they are not dropping in video quality, they have just stopped updating altoghether, recycling old sets as new...

Normally, each week has 6 new sets and 7 old remastered sets, with the remastered ones clearly labelled. This current week had just 1 new update and 12 old sets (where only 7 are labelled as old). Next week's first three planned updates are all old sets.
