To NN & everyone concerned about current poor quality of video.
First, would like to say that this is not a bitch about the new flv streaming format being used on the site. Realize that it is a good thing & an improvement for some members. Personally though my eyes hurt after watching a few of these god awful lousy quality flash things... especially when you're trying to look close for "The Good Stuff"
What I'd like to bitch about is the Terrible quality of the WMV's now available for download. NN tech's have written that "everything is the same as it was", but bottom line regarding the Quality of the downloadable WMV's - IT IS NOT!
Have captured the "Same Frame" from the "Same wmv Video" downloaded from NN: 1.) downloaded Prior To the video viewing change, and 2.) downloaded a few days ago using the WMV download link.
Comparing these 2 frames side by side the vast difference in the quality of the image is quite obvious. Note: Have compared a number of Pre & Post the video viewing change and All are the same. Those wmv's pre the change are all good quality and those wmv's post the change are all very poor (pixelated, blurry, smudged & degraded).

Obviously, NN tech's, you're doing something quite different in preparing/converting member videos for presentation on the site. Thus the resulting lousy god awful quality WMV videos now available for download.
So PLEASE!! NN guys...We love the site you've made here, it's Unique on the net, it's Totally something Absolutely Great !!! As a result you have a loyal and enthusiastic following...BUT the WMV's now are crap!!. So PLEASE just give we your premium members a "Good Quality" WMV product to download if we want.
