Title: What happened to 720p videos on older videos? Can we get higher quality back?
Post by: uihdrrr on Aug 15, 2023, 01:10 PM
The 720p quality option on older video has gone. Some of these are of the hottest babes in their prime. For example:

https://www.recordedbabes.com/fernanda-ferrari/recordings-59/30/

https://www.recordedbabes.com/hannah-claydon/recordings-13/90/

Is there any chance we will get the 720p quality videos reinstated? They're such great recordings and so many babes were looking at their best back then.

Hello, so some of these video hosting websites get shut down which means having to upload them to different sites, and some of them will re encode the videos to give quality options (360p, 480p, 720p etc.) but also to compress and save space on their servers.

Most of the videos aren't HD when uploaded (I have them all locally backed up after the first host we were using went down and lost a lot of 2014-2017 videos). The only ones that are actually 720p are from babestations webstreams from 2017 onwards, otherwise most webstreams were only 720x404.

Is there any chance of reuploading the clips that have been taken down? Or perhaps making them available via a mega.nz folder or something?

Sadly not, I didn't have backups at the time, I rescued what I could but yeah, most of them are gone for good. That's why a lot of them are just still previews and not videos, I preferred to not completely delete those posts but obviously would still rather have the videos. After that I bought an external HDD so everything can just be moved around easily now if/when the hosts get killed off from DMCA and stuff.

Hi, are those years accurate or an estimation? Only asking because there are some videos from 2018 that show up only as image caps where Im guessing a video once was. If I check page 1 of that thread the videos were hosted on upstream (now offline) but the 2018 vids I cant see any host. Wondering now if theyve survived as backup.

Also, is anyone free to post here or do they need approval? Couldn't see a reply button in the babe threads. Theres likely videos I can share that are expired on here.

Yeah I guess some from 2018 too, basically any post that's an image. I think the original host I was using was "putlocker.to" or something and they would delete videos without views for 60 days, so that's why some survived and some didn't, and I had no way of keeping everything backed up then.

Originally when I made the site it was just a website and not a forum, but making it into a forum it's a lot easier to manage now. But yeah it would be a good idea to make "user posted caps/recordings" threads, which you should be able to make, I just have to approve each post/thread currently because there's a ton of bots trying to post spam so it keeps the forum clean.

Also I might have to manually add whatever site you use for embeds to work but that should be easy enough.
