I see a 4K tag now with videos attached to it, any hint on when it will arrive and what the bitrate will be to support a consistent and high quality video?
I see 4K videos are available for purchase at DMM so there's 3 tiers - SD, HD and 4K.
Two covers on R18 right now with the 4K tag:

The titles with proper lighting technique and/or vibrant colors are the best. Anything with dark scenes or otherwise dimmed or with poor lighting are not worth it in my opinion. Maybe if they were 60fps in addition but they are not, they are only 4K in frame size/bitrate.

As a subscriber with a sizable library, one thing that I would like to see is more old titles from SOD Create, KUKI, Calen, etc. From 90s and 2000s. I've tried the request feature but no result, however almost all of these titles are on DVD/VCD, some for sale at DMM and others even available on other platforms.
I'm less worried about the individual picture quality and more worried about the bitrate being too low and that causing those almost VCR like 'lines' on parts of the video as it plays on higher resolution screens. I can't think of a way to show off the effect but essentially think about point of view videos where the action is close up. When the girl is riding cowgirl or reverse cowgirl and bouncing up and down going full steam, on a 4K monitor you can sort of see these lines forming on the girls boobs or butt (whichever way she is facing) as she bounces up and down. I also want to stress this is not screen tearing. These are localized lines just on the boobs or butt as they bounce up and down rapidly.
It's not end of the world stuff but I do notice it. I wouldn't notice this in a bluray for example. If I grab a Minori Hatsune bluray I have, her boobs bounce fine and the skin doesn't have lines on it as they bounce up and down rapidly. A bluray has an excessive bitrate of anywhere from 15,000 to 30,000 on a typical 1080p release.
I understand it's not practical to offer bluray like bitrates online... the file sizes would be massive. But I would imagine there is some sweet-spot slightly higher than 6,000 that would fix the minor VCR-like lines issue I see on my 4K monitor for 1080p videos. Say 8,000 or 9,000 bitrate.
Which brings me back around to my original question/issue of wondering what the 4K bitrate will be. 4 times the pixels is a significant jump and when you go from the raw 4K file and re-encode to reduce file size (and bitrate), will the video quality be good? Will I see the same lines if the movement gets too fast and the bitrate can't really keep up? Will it be better, worse or the same?

Two covers on R18 right now with the 4K tag:
As you have mentioned this is only available on FANZA at this moment and the price for 4K is different than the price for HD.
At this moment R18.com has not implement the new 4K either the new price tag for this movies.
We will implement is in a few months if this is a very requested feature.
We have implemented filters inside My library a few weeks ago so you can not filter by actress inside my library.
Request a video? There are a lot of videos absent on the site that should be available, at least IMO. I want to give you my money for these titles, many in FHD.
As it was mentioned in this thread many times I would love for R18.com to add a DRM free option... it is clearly possible on some titles....
Example with VRXS-132:
https://www.r18.com/videos/vod/movies/detail/-/id=h_898vrxs00132 <- DRM protected
https://duga.jp/ppv/vr-0351/ <- DRM free
Why is that?
I refuse to give my money to R18.com with DRM. I would give it to duga.jp but they don't accept my credit card...
Sometimes I think you guys want us to pirate those videos...

I don't understand why the DRM exists. You can find the pirated versions the same day. With VR is even worse, because the PC VR Player of R18 is very bad and basic. It runs on a browser!!!
I buy a lot of JAV VR tiles at A Festa VR because they don't have DRM and I can download and play the movies with a good player on my PC, like Whirligig. And I am talking about more than 500 euros in the last months. I can't understand why R18 don' want to win that money because they use DRM and the titles are pirated in hours.
If R18 releases JAV VR titles without DRM and to download to a PC I would buy several titles every month. I don't pay for streaming (it is smoke) and I need to download the titles to play them on a good player with options to adjust to my eyes, like Whirligig.

It would be really awesome if there was a possibility to watch your purchased movies on TV, in my case I got an OLED TV.
Yet i could not find out how to watch my movies purchased from r18 on my OLED TV.
This feature would be absolutely lovely. It maybe could be enough to implement that feature on the R18 Player App, as an option to stream from it to the TV.

Use of DRM is common used in some of the biggest movie sites in the world like NETFLIX, AMAZON VIDEO , HULU etc.
Most of the biggest studios want to keep their movies with DRM so to have the same user experience for all the movies and users all the movies play the same way.
As mentioned before and the biggest movie sites (NETFLIX, AMAZON VIDEO , HULU etc.) use DRM we think that movies with DRM is not an issue. The issue becomes when the user cannot watch the movie in his device.
- Do you want to watch the movie in any device that we do not support?
- What is the reason DRM bothers you?
- Will you drop from NETFLIX, AMAZON VIDEO , HULU etc because they use DRM?
R18.com is made to be able to play movies on some of the main Smart TVs ( Samsung, LG, Android TV, Fire TV). You can just use the browser on the TV to watch the movies.
We also have a channel for ROKU.
In an Android device you can also Cast the movie you are watching to your cast supported device. So if your TV supports Cast or has plugged some chrome cast, Fire TV or similar you can also cast from your Android device.
I think Netflix and porn are different things.
I don't mind DRM in Netflix, because the experience is the same with or without DRM. If you don't want to pirate (and I don't), DRM is not at issue with Netflix.
But porn is different. I don't pay for streaming with porn because I don't want to stream every time I watch porn and I don't want R18 (or other) and my ISP register every time I watch porn. It is a private and personal activity and I don't want everybody register and spy my activity every time I watch porn. So I only pay for downloads.
Another question is the experience. I only watch JAV VR and the experience with the streaming of JAV VR at R18, A Festa, SexLikeReal is awful because your PC VR players are very bad quality. The image quality is mediocre, you can't use supersampling in PC, the zoom is very basic and there are not options to adjust the diameter of the image. I always see the girls like giants even with the limited zoom.
The only solution for me is to buy and download the movies and play them with a good player with supersampling and a lot of options to adapt the image to my eyes, like Whirligig. And the only one that accepts this is A Festa VR. So I have spent more than 500 euros buying JAV VR movies at A Festa VR in the last months. I would like to do the same at R18 because I want to pay for the JAV VR I like, but you don't want to download movies to a PC. And with the actual quality of your PC VR player, it is impossible.
I can accept DRM because I don't pirate the movies, but I can't pay for a experience with awful PC VR players when the "free" or the bought-and-downloaded versions looks much, much better with better players.
The reality it is possibly you don't mind PC VR users... You are only interested in smartphones users...

If I look around at porn sites most have no DRM. If the sites have any limitations at all it's an "all access" model that allows you to stream all you want with a set number of DRM free downloads per day, week and month (depends on the site).
In terms of traditional media like movies... physical media is easily attainable and available to users as an alternative to Netflix, Amazon and others giving you an offline copy that cannot be revoked after you purchase and "own" it.
Buying a physical copy for JAV is also possible especially if you're in Japan but not practical for anyone living outside of Japan given the unwillingness of major Japanese retailers to ship pornography outside of Japan (understandable) and the cost of smaller boutique import/export businesses who offer the service is often high if they offer it all....
I have a fairly large R18 collection, it would be nice if DRM was removed or lessened somehow especially since everything seems to escape on torrents but I doubt that's likely to happen. I agree with @Walle12 for certain things like VR it would be super helpful if that specifically had less DRM or more player options so you can fine tune it. I don't watch VR porn but I do play VR games and so much comes down to adjusting settings.
