But did you try encoding it in Hi10P or did you try only 8bit encoding? 'Cause I remember suggesting that too, but I don't know what you ended up doing. >_>

He shouldn't have to encode to a format that no one will be able to watch >.>

Anyone who isn't using a half a year old CCCP or MadVR or LAVF or CoreAVC or ffdshow-tryouts or mplayer or mplayer2 or K-Lite (yes, even that) or MPlayerX or VLC nightly you mean (and I very likely forgot something else)?
There's a shitton fuckload of decoders/codec packs/players that already support it, both inside and outside of directshow, and not only on windows, but on osx and linux too. Don't be the xvidfag of the decade, zarx. :nono:

Offer a larger cap to people with donation status. Incentive to donate and gives ppl the option of not having to deal with finding hosting for their HDamv's that go a little above the cap without having to sacrifice some quality. Its a good roundabout way to deal with it benefiting both parties. People that donate are paying for the bandwidth anyway, if you ask me its fair for them to use a bit more of it.
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

Indeed. Thanks Cenit for raising the issue in a civil manner, and thanks everyone else for pitching in good ideas. You helped make this happen :)

I'm deeply impressed. You found the best possible solution. In addition now i actually see a reason in donating again (which i will do)!

Thanks guys. I highly support this change in your policy and i'm sorry for bringing up the topic in a harsh way.
