Hey, Jay,

Sorry we missed meeting in Phoenix, but AJ talked to probably every other Maleflixxx representative there and finally got somebody to pay attention to us. Hopefully we'll get to meet you next time around

I didn't see the seminar in question, but I'd suspect that the "poor quality" being referred to might refer to production values (scenes that are a little rough around the edges, editing is a little rough, that sort of thing) rather than videos that are *really* poor quality (shaky camera, horrible lighting, grainy video due to inadequate light, out-of-focus, etc), or videos that are, as Basschick's speaking of, encoded at really low bit rates so they are not very watchable.

I know that Doggone Video rejected something like 3/4 of AMVC's catalog because the stuff was so shitty as to be unwatchable, and AEBN likewise rejected a large quantity of it for the same reason. If there were *truly* a demand for really crappy content, I think it would spill over into DVD sales, and you don't see lots of DVDs on the market with either terrible production values or terrible resolution.

I'll have to watch the seminar, 'cause now I'm curious who said it

Of course I'll shamelessly plug that maleflixxx encodes at several quality levels. Check us out here.
