The problem is most JAV makers may now be releasing in 4K, but they still are doing a poor job editing it (and sometimes shooting too). This applies even to the biggest makers.
Many studios--even big ones--are out sourcing production and/or editing. Very few are doing both on their own (like 0). Sometimes they end up with great product, but most times they don't and it's hard to tell if you just look at it quickly with your phone.

I was with the SLR tech staff in Tokyo and we were going over titles w/ studios and pretty much every one had big problems compared to western output.
Part of the reason is studios still are catering to the people viewing VR on smartphones even though that method is already declining (50% and dropping in Japan, maybe 25% abroad).
Once the same users migrate to better gear, some of their favorite titles may look far from pleasant. Future-proofing is a serious issue here that we're helping the makers achieve.

If you're only watching lower quality VR, VR via smartphone, etc., you're essentially going into the world half blind. Watching well-produced titles in 4~6K size on appropriate gear is truly night and day.

BTW, the SLR app now has Viewport technology for some movies (including some JAV updates). Basically it allows viewing 5K+ on devices that normally only support 4K by having the area you see in 5K, but the surrounding areas in lower resolution. It's all done in real time and no lag when you move around.

@Inertia

Glad to hear SLR is stepping up your JAV game.

But if you guys want to get people really excited about JAV, you need to make sure you're offering the more "unique" videos. A LOT of JAV produced lately has started to fall into the same repetitive formula that western vr porn has.

JAV is famous for their fetish scenes / thinking outside the box. Capitalize on that!

For example...

A lot of studios (including the big ones) are sending us craploads of content. There's already a massive backlog of JAV VR to process.
Since they're already online partially, I can say CasanovA (#3 or 4 VR maker based on monthly output) is sending over 100+ titles at a time.

The super big ones that will be on SLR in good time will start by sending a smorgasbord of top-selling content in Japan and from there going by how sales do they may stick to certain genres to send over or just send everything.

Per genres, I agree that on one hand weirder is better (see PetersMAX), but weird and unusual may get people's attention, but might not always lead to sales. It's a tough game.

Fun fact: right now there are like 250 or so JAV VR titles released a month across the entire industry. Among those, about 25% are shot by one production company and it's not a name anyone has ever heard here (no studio site or anything). We went to their office and were blown away by how big they are. Biggest surprise on the trip.

Fun fact 2: some studios are currently streaming-only at SLR. Not ideal for many reasons, but some of the streaming-only ones will switch over to allowing DRM-free downloads soon and ones that requested streaming-only that are not even on the site told us given time and good sales, they can consider allowing downloads. Studios want to make money, but they want to play it safe. DRM sounds safe so it's what they normally ask for, but it's not 100% required in the long run.

I wish to get into the VR scene. What do you guys recommend? I'm hearing Oculus and PlayStation VR does not play all videos. Should I look into Samsung GearVR and Google Cardboard?

LimeLemon: Absolutely get an OculusQuest. Works fantastic. That or even higher-end gear. GearVR and Cardboard with your phone = disappointment. That's like buying a VCR player rather than going BluRay.

OculusGo/Quest has a few relatively easy ways to sideload the SLR app. PlayStationVR as well.

The Oculus Quest is too expensive in my opinion for just using to watch porn. Is it really that big a jump in quality to justify the price? I'd love to know if the Quest really is worth the money. The Oculus Go however is a much easier sell. It hits just as high as I'm willing to pay for a device to exclusively watch porn on. Can I use earphones with these Oculus devices? Wired or wireless earphones, it doesn't matter. One final inquiry is, is the Oculus go really worth the asking price compared to the GearVR? I mean really worth? Not that I'm not willing to pay for it, I am, its just hitting my max budget where as I can get a GearVR for $50.

GearVR, Cardboard, Oculus Go, smartphone glasses = blurry, blurry, blurry. Like to see a betamax or VHS on a 4K TV. Oculus Quest, PC glasses (You can buy Lenovo PC glasses por 190 dollars), it its like the real thing.

When you have seen VR porn with real life resolution, the price of the Oculus Quest is a bargain... But of course, I know a lot of of people can't pay 400 dollars for them. But it's like night and day... I wouldn't watch VR porn with smartphone glasses even if it is the only option. Too much blurry.

Look, there are people who can buy higher-end things and then there are people who can't/won't/whatever. All of this is subjective. For example, I can afford a Quest or Go but won't buy one because, well...it's only porn. That's basically all I will use it for. I'm not about to drop that kind of coin on a vice, basically. If I was into gaming as well, absolutely, but I'm not. I have a GearVR. Once you experience any kind of gear you'll like it. And, if you decide to trade up later, you'll of course see a difference. But, with me, I started with crappy 3rd party headsets (if even headsets) with free VR apps on my old HTC phone. It got me in the door, it got me excited, I was liking what I was seeing. I happened to later get a Samsung Galaxy and grabbed a GearVR off of eBay for like $40. It was definitely a step up from what I had been using. And I pretty much stopped there because...it's only porn. Will it look amazingly better on a PC rig or better standalone headset. Oh, I know it will. But, I'll never know because I'm satisfied with what I have. Plus, the content I can watch is not crazy huge like 25GB.

Precisely because it is porn, and precisely because it is VR... I want to feel the inmersion, to feel the girls are really there with you. And I can't feel it with a smartphone glasses or a blurry film... Of course I know it its subjetive and I know a lot of people can't pay 400 dollars to buy a good VR glasses. But for me VR Porn is all about realism, if the film or the screen have bad quality then this is not real, it is only a blurry film.

If you can pay it: Oculus Quest or PC glasses. The difference is impressive.

Anyone know of a good program to merge multiple files into one without losing quality?

Are the files from the same movie (ID code)? Or are you trying to join completely different movie IDs together?

If the former, Avidemux should be able to join them easily and quickly without any re-encoding and therefore any quality loss.

If it's the latter, Avidemux can still do it I believe, but you'll definitely need to re-encode which means depending on how powerful your PC is, could take a very long time and there will be some quality loss. It'll probably be easier to use a full on video editor (i.e. Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere) if the files you want to join have different resolutions.

Sorry mate, just got back from holidays, using Littlstar but no use with anything up/down so far at all.
All good, beggars cant be choosers! found another awesome site to get some school uniform heaven that has helped relieve the pain! you can search the site for the other 5 instalments of the series but here is part 1:
http://www.vamateur.com/vr-and-3d-videos/155001-kavr-033-a.html

Are you using the Littlstar app? If you're using the Littlstar app on PS4 and the sideloaded videos (videos you put on a USB stick that you plug into the PS4) aren't working properly with the filename tagging then I don't know what the problem is.
I've moved on to just using my Galaxy phone in a samsung gear VR and using the Deo VR player which lets you change the playback style in the menu.[/QUOTE
