Hi there Cybertoad,
Currently there are ten videos on Murder Lily, of which six are of alternative ladies in particular. These are offered in WMV, MPG and Flash format. Some of them are broken into clips while a few are full length only due to their short length.
I have two more videos that I am hoping to post in the next week that feature alternative chicks.
I admit that we are definitely lacking when it comes to videos as yet. If you are really only interested in videos, then I would personally recommend waiting to join as yet. I am hoping to add a large amount of videos in the near future, and can always post about it when they've been uploaded.
However, if you are equally interested in photos, we have plenty, including models who are exclusive to the site, and lots of photo galleries that are exclusive. We've got a chat and a forum where you can interact with the models and other members of the site.
I really work hard to make my members happy and I hope that my information helps you to make your decision.

A webmaster actually recommending holding off on joining until more videos can be posted. Either it is insane or pure genius! Most people want the revenue to start flowing on smaller sites to help the site grow, where as you taking the honest and concerning approach.
You certainly get point from me for being honest enough, or smart enough, to recommend that a video fan hold off on joining so that he will not be disappointed. Two good things here, Cybertoad does not feel ripped off when he find a limited number of videos, and you do not have to deal with an unhappy customer. Even better for you, you make yourself look wonderful on this site, and at the same time avoided a respected PU telling us of the video shortcomings in the form of disappointment.
We PUs like you already, and please do keep us posted about an influx of videos. Also, can you tell us what the dimensions and bit rates will be for your videos?

I just felt that it's much better to let people know what they can expect so they won't be disappointed, and as you say, be an unhappy customer.
The six newest videos are offered in 1000kbsp, 512kbsp and 256kbps with the largest playing at 640x480 and the smallest at 320x240.
All of the videos are softcore in that they do not feature any men or fucking. They are all of women stripping, teasing, and some feature masturbation.
So far, my entire site is aimed at the softcore crowd with masturbation being the raunchiest fare, but if enough viewers want it, I would absolutely add hardcore to the mix.
I want my members to be happy!

Have you considered increasing the bit rates on the videos. Many of us would call 1000 KBit the bare minimum for new content, and the 512 and 256 just fluff. It would be much more appealing if you offered good videos in the 3000 KBit range.
A site can not be built under the assumption that people are still using dial up. While it is nice for those with minimal internet connections and storage space, it is a deterrent for those of us with moderate connections and plenty of storage. I would gladly wait 3 times as long for a 3000 KBit video and would enjoy it 100 times more.
For a softcore site I believe video quality is a paramount issue. Those kind of videos are not showing us much, which is fine, but I better be able to everything that is being shown.

I think that's a fantastic suggestion and one that I will definitely take to heart for all future videos. I really appreciate your input!
I will look at my existing videos and see if any of them can be offered at 3000kbps.
Besides the bit rate, do you have suggestions for good video dimensions?

Dimensions are a tricky thing right now because so many people have different size monitors. 640x480 used to be ideal because everyone had 4:3 monitors and the resolution was not all that high say 800x600. But now many 4:3 monitors feature resolutions of 1600x1200 and some higher.
Also, many people have switched to widescreen, so now the aspect ratio is in question. It is all compromise at this point.
Now the resolution to use. The higher the better, at least for the highest option you would offer. ideally you would offer an HD option and retain something close to you current. 1.5 to 2 MBit video is pretty easy to play and even people with lighter, older machines can enjoy that. But many of us have more modern computers that can easily hand very high bit rates. Of course, it is important that any increase in bit rate is utilized close to its full potential. It is easy to make a video 6 MBit from 1 Mbit, but it will look no better.
A few sites have gone as high as a 1440 resolution. These videos look phenomenal but can be practically impossible to play if the user does not have reasonable video capacity. Ideally i would look into resolutions of 1280x720 for your higher end at this point. Of course you camera must be able to shoot this. Most computers can play this without much issue and those of us with good video ability would still be able skip around the video fairly easily.
Of course, none of this means anything without using decent cameras and video compression. Being able to offer beautiful videos costs money, but that is only a one time payment. Well, there is storage and bandwidth costs. But, if bandwidth becomes and issue it is a blessing at the same time because that means your spectacular videos have attracted more members and more revenue. Besides, sites like TBP have search options for video quality, and it would be great for you if your site where to show up under the HD listing.
I am certainly glad to be helpful to you. If my suggestion prove fruitful for you than it has helped you become successful, and provides us with another good site to enjoy. Sounds like a win-win deal to me.

That is a lot of fantastic information. It's always been a bit mystifying to figure out how best to serve everyone when you are a growing site. I think your advice for video resolutions and sizes is sound and I think you are right that I will need to offer much higher resolution in the future.
I will absolutely post when I've got new videos to talk about. ;)
