Sometime ago I joined one of the sites (of the Kink.com family) that's got banners at the top of this page. The content is great, but the picture looked jumpy and "high-compressed" although the sound and the colour quality were very good, so I reckoned there had to be something about the codec (the format of the film). More than a year ago I'd been a member of hogtied.com (same group of sites) and I'd kept some videos I downloaded from there, and plainly their motion was much smooother than in these new ones, even though it was the same type of video - wmv - and the bitrate of data is higher in these recent vids.

This morning I happened to find the reason; noticed a small tag "in hd wmv" on the site. HD WMV is a new codec of course, an upgarade of standard wmv - the proprietary Microsoft Wiondows Media Player format. But I can't locate a plugin to playback this new quality in WM player (version 10). I'm sure some of the knowledgeable cyber people on this forum can help me with this, though!
