JAV VR: News, comments about releases, recommendations, hardware

Good news! Someone has managed to download the 8K trial offered by DMM,

I saw it, and wow. didn't realize how big the jump in quality that would be. It really looks fantastic. Seeing every single hair, smallest muscle movements, all details in the fabric, even the camera rig reflecting in her eyes. I hope this becomes the new standard, because it's going to be hard to go back.

You can also see all the makeup and imperfections, but realism is what vr is all about, right?

I have watched the 8K VR from DMM too, and it is awesome. Like to change from DVD to Blue-ray. With supersampling and sharpening, it is real life definition, even with 2K glasses. Now it is time to buy 4K glasses...

Wishing they would release 8K movies with my favorite actresses....

I did check it out too (i already watched it in the DMM App on my Quest 2). And while i definitely see a jump in quality it left me a little bit disappointed.

Comparing with CzechVR 8k it is not quite as sharp and does look a bit washed out. Sometimes closeups dont look too much different from a well made 4k videos (i.e. KM Produce).
I noticed that the videos only have a bitrate of (34 &27Mbit) which does make the files relatively small but i feel like a lot of visual quality is missing. Good 4k videos often have around 30Mbit bitrate and while you cannot directly compare as 4k videos are using a different codec, when you look at videos from CzechVR (western studio that is known to produce in 8k native), so see a different visual quality. Older CzechVR videos have a fixed bitrate of 60Mbit, newer even 80Mbit.

Also i am not sure how the 8k video was downloaded as one japanese reviewer mentioned a quality difference in streamed vs. downloaded version of the video.

I really hope that they will not heavily compress their videos in order to save bandwidth/allow for better streaming for those with slower connections. Besides that i am still glad we finally see an improvement in quality. Given now its a month a ago that DMM released that video it makes me wonder when new 8k videos are going on sale. From a (western) marketing perspective i would have expected to have 8k videos for sale released max. 1 week after (otherwise whats the point of a press release and that supplying that free scene?!), but maybe things work differently in Japan. As for the upcoming releases till mid-october, there doesnt seem to be a 8k video announced.

Also its interesting what camera they use. Usually JAV studios are using 2 cameras and i would suspect they would do the same or use that Canon R5C with dual-fisheye lens but it looks like something complety different on this BTS tweet from Kana Momonogi

I find the skin more natural and realistic with the DMM camera than with the CzechVR camera. It may be because of the lighting. I like the skin realism of this DMM camera better.

The problem we are going to have with JAV VR at 8K is that we are not going to be able to download it, at least until it arrives at A Festa. And even so, at A Festa they always put versions with less bitrate than in Fanza.

The "unofficial" copies are going to come from streaming, and will always be lower quality than the download versions offered by CzechVR, SLR, etc. I have downloaded movies with 100 GB files at SLR, with 150 Mbps bitrate.
No matter how good DMM's 8K camera is, if we only get streaming versions, the quality will always be lower than the legal downloads allowed by European and North American studios.

 

[Itsabiggapepperoni]

Huh, i didn't realize but it's true, the bitrate is surprisingly low. So you're telling me it can look even better?

Btw isn't Kana exclusive to Idea Pocket? So it was shot by their team? A chance to see Minami Aizawa in 8k...

I know people speak highly about CVR quality, but for me their videos always looked odd. Maybe it has more to do with how it's lit and directed.

sad, I dont know but perhaps there might be other websites......but R18 felt so good and easy (well atleast for someone non-japanese like me). Found so many IDs from it even actresses from the Image recognition......sadge its ending

Website recommendations anyone? for browsing, purchasing(for someone outside asia)

 

[darksider59]

That's why I that kind of websites sucks. You buy stuff but you can't own it.

You can buy the titles of SOD VR, KMP and some others at A Festa VR, with downloads and without DRM, you can use any player. I have bought a lot of titles here without problems.

SLR (SexLikeReal) has said that they are negotiating with DMM to be able to sell their titles in VR, but probably only in streaming.

There are actually some ways. You would need a HLS Stream Downloader.

There are countless plugins such as Video DownloadHelper, but sometimes they are rather slow. Faster performing are command line tools like youtube-dl. You can generate the correct command with a Firefox extension called "The Stream Detector".
The only downside is that the highest resolution that is being streamed (and therefore can be downloaded is 3840x1920 instead of the usual 4096x2048).

Zenra is also mentioning some (japanese) sites too in his recent post

With all the recent news surrounding R18, the recent news appears to be the final stage of their crisis.

Sorry for the late reply, Thanks for the suggestion.

I did see that post earlier, but its different studio or just random JAV streaming sites. Nothing like R18, it just had the pefect layout, the preview worked smoothly, the site was structured, was so easy to browse new IDS....everything was proper. I guess Ill just have to forget about R18 and move on to what ever is there available. Cos as of yet I don't thing anything similar to R18 exists with English version comparative, I guess or I hope we get something like it in future.

 

[Chryptic]

i think its completely offensive that purchased titles are not able to be downloaded. i am thankful that i used their site mainly for reference purposes and purchased less than 10 titles. To close down a site preventing purchased titles being viewed without giving the option to download should be illegal

 

[Walle12]

Maybe it is offensive, but it is legal. Digital stores like R18 sell licenses, not products. You pay to watch in streaming, if they close, goodbye.

It is the reason I only buy at stores where I can download without DRM, like A Festa VR or SLR.

Pretty intense threesome from Unlimited, URVRSP-192 Haven't seen these two together before, and they have great chemistry together. Alice as always brings wild energy. Two great asses, some creative angles, squirting, easy recommendation.

A new very cute girl, Sengoku Monaka in KAVR-250 I will look forward to see more of her

From upcoming scenes I'm waiting for KAVR-253 Great cast of four girls, Ena Satsuki, Nanami Yokomiya, Yumeru Kotoishi and Anatsu Suzune. Especially excited about Suzune, as it's only her second VR scene, and she's one if my new favourites

For me Unfinished VR is the best JAV VR studio right now. They are releasing quite a few movies a month, quite different from each other, and most of them very good.

Very cute and with awesome body. But I hope she can get her teeth fixed.... Looking forward to watch more movies with her, too...

Perfect cast! I love Ena and Nanami. And yes, we need more Anatsu Suzune ...

Many new girls have made their VR debut in the last few months. I love Akari Minase, really cute and beautiful girl. Waiting forward to watch her again in VRKM-745:





For the people who like matures (there are so few in VR), I am very happy to say that Madonna VR has improved A LOT in the last two months. Her latest titles are much more immersive, with the camera closer and more face to face shots.

Hopefully they will keep this new style but with their big stars like Maki Hojo and Maki Tomoda, we are still waiting for a proper VR movie with them!

From their latest improved releases, I recommend:
