I have notice a worrying problem with JAV VR releases of 2020.
The image quality is going down and down. Maybe with a smartphone is less visible, but with PC VR with good resolution glasses, most of the JAV VR releases of 2020 are blurrier than the same labels in 2019.
I have discover it "by eye", noticing less definition, so I have checked the data and it its true: most of 2019 releases have 30 Mbps of bitrate, and the 2020 releases from the same labels have 20 / 22 Mbps of bitrate. The same with the sound, from 320 kbps to 128 kbps.
I have checked titles from KVR, CRVR, ATVR, and all have less bitrate.
I don't know who is the guilty, if the official release or the people who "distribute" it, but the lower image quality is very visible, and it is very frustrating. The last KVR and CRVR are mediocre and the ATVR-032 looks really bad.
VR needs the best image quality to create the illusion it is "real". With the actual bitrate this is not VR, it is a blurry video in 3D.
