As some of you make know, i started a web site that sells XXX DVDs. To be honest, i didnt plan as a should have.
HEQDVD: WHAT IS YOUR HOME SITE? THREEPILL***?
The more i research the adult field, the more i find that the porn watcher population is using the internet as a means to gain access to thousands of images, videos, and whatever you may have it.
HEQDVD: NOT FROM THE LEADER: JUPITER INTERNET STATS. THIS YEAR THE PROFITS ARE DOWN AND SIGNUPS AS WELL. CHARGEBACKS ARE WAY UP.
AND ACCORDING TO YNOT,
2003 WILL BE EVEN WORSE.
As I went to my DVD wholesaler (WHO?), i over heard a conversation. The wholesaler and an owner of an adult video shop were telling each other about how business was. From what i heard, business is not good. They also explained the rise of internet porn and pirating
satellite
signals as being major factors.
HEQDVD: THAT'S FUNNY, LAST MONTH SOME GUY FROM MICHIGAN CONTENT PROVIDER FOR A CANADA SITE RIPPED US OFF FOR 6 MOVIE CLIPS WITH AN BOGUS PAYPAL ACCOUNT AND EMAIL ADDRESS CALLED: "satellite" -
BUT I'M SURE ITS NOT YOU!!!
I recall a conversation that Hungryman and myself had a while back about downloading a full length feature film using a P2P site (kazaa.com).
HEQDVD: KAZAA IS GOING SOWN REAL SOON. ANYONE WHO COMPOSES ORIGINAL MEDIA OR MUSIC CAN RELATE TO THIS.
We both discussed the factors of someone willing to wait for a download to be complete as well, the type of quality that some downloads have. To be honest, ive found (through research) that the majority of the porn watching population (ages 18 - 30) don't care.
HEQDVD: DO YOU ACTUALLY TALK TO REAL DISTRIBUTORS?
AND YOU DON"T WAIT FOR ANYTHING WITH A STREAMING SERVER...
So, my question is, do you think adult home video are going exstint? Why would someone want just 1 DVD when they have the entire porn industry at the click of a mouse?.
HEQDV: THE ENTIRE PORN INDUSTRY? THAT SEEMS LIKE A VERY SILLY COMMENT. ONLY SITES LIKE GAMELINK OFFER SUCH A HUGE SELECTION, AND THE VOD I SAW THERE WAS SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE (not DivX that'a a whole different thread).
IF YOU USE ANOTHER'S SHOPPING CART APP, THAT YOU AREN'T "starting a web site that sells XXX DVDs"
ALSO I HAVE YET TO SEE INTERNET MPEG VIDEO THAT IS HALF AS GOOD AS A MEDIUM QUALITY PROGRESSIVE SCAN HOME PLAYER AND NORMAL TV MONITOR. THAT'S THE REAL ISSUE. REAL BROADBAND DVD QUALITY IS STILL 5 YEARS AWAYS. WEBPHONE PICS AND VID ARE VERY LOW QUALITY AND WILL BE FOR MANY YEARS>>>
I would love to hear other people's thoughts!
HEQDVD: YOU JUST DID. GO TO MY NEW PROMO SCENE HERE AND LOOK AT THE NEW REALPLAYER HELIX OPTIMIZED CLIPS:

or any at the dailies (see below)
THEN LOOK AT YOUR MPEGS FROM "the entire porn industry at the click of a mouse" AND SEND MY A COMPARISON OF QUALITY. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOUR COMPARISON (with active URLs please!)
MERRY XMAS!!!
