In theory, you could have a 1280x720 video encoded at 1000kbps that would play just fine on just about and DSL/cable connection. I may be wrong.
Actually, no LOL

HiDef is a mixture of resolution, playback quality and video signals / encoding, specifically, when talking about HD 'online' the movies should be encoded in a WMV format(i think ), that as of yet, a lot of surfers still dont have the plugin enabled because they dont understand they actually need it to view true HD quality movies 'online'.

In addition, for true 'Hi Definition' content, the content needs to be shot using a precise mix of lighting, HD camera equipment, audio quality, and editing quality amongst other things.

In effect, if the surfer doesnt have a WMV-HD player installed, all they are viewing is a 1280x720 resolution movie, which would look no different than a high quality mpg encoded at the same size

Lets not forget, HD was originally intended for use on TV's only and i havent been able to find a single computer monitor that is capable of 'HD Quality' playback so far as the progressive scanning goes either.

IMHO, not to degrade any of the work that SilverCash have done on these sites (which i really like the look of btw) but HD as of yet really is just a marketing point and the average porn surfer isnt going to know the difference between a high quality mpg and a HD movie, other than the download speeds LOL
