@coolboymew incidentally it seems that people have tested streaming services and in most cases no matter what quality you want, the bitrate is no better than a DVD from 1998.

@sun wouldn't be surprised

Just imagine the requirements man. If you game on it for 7 hours, it's not just a video file, so no buffering, this has to be video delivered perfectly for hours on end with no hiccups from any side or else that will cause lag and dropped input, for hours on end

It just sounds crazy

@coolboymew mpeg4 and later does look substantially better than mpeg2 at the same bitrate but they're definitely cheaping out and on browser you can tell you're not getting what you paid for
