Casey Hays

Freetour offers: There's just one page to the tour, and it doesn't look like much at first glance. But give it a closer look. One thing you simply must do on this tour is check out the sample video. There's an embedded flash video, but what you should really be looking at is the link to the Ultra HD sample video on the left side of the page. This is a genuine sample video which actually shows you the highest available quality of the videos inside. They don't use the term high definition loosely on this website! That video needs to be seen to believed. Below the sample video you'll find a bunch of thumbnail images depicting a different Casey Hays update. It would have been nice if there was a bit more info on the tour, but when you've got a sample video of that quality, who cares?

General impression: Casey Hays is cute and while her tour initially had me a little concerned, just a few seconds into her sample video and all my concerns were alleviated. This girl is gorgeous and so is her content. This stuff is amongst the highest quality video I've ever seen and I'm going into her member's area with very high hopes. Let's hope Casey can deliver on my high expectations.

Bravo's opinion:  The member's area of Casey's website is a real treat. The design could do with some improving, but I love this website. Probably the first thing you'll notice after you've logged in is a notification about the latest scene to have been added to the member's area. You'll see a link to a preview trailer for the scene as well as a link to the content associated with that particular scene. Click through to that link and you'll find a page where you'll be able to access the pictures and videos related to that scene.

The videos in Casey's website are available either in large chapters (about 3 per scene) or as a single full-length video file. In each case, you're given 5 different quality options for viewing the videos: low, medium, high, super HD and Ultra HD. If you took my advice and watched the sample video on the tour, you'll already know how incredible the quality of the Ultra HD videos is. All the quality options are presented in widescreen aspect ratio which I absolutely love, especially now that I'm using a widescreen monitor.

The difference in quality from the lower end of the spectrum to the highest quality available is unsurprisingly large. On the lower end of the scale, the low quality videos measure 320 x 180 pixels and are encoded at 400kbps. Medium quality steps the resolution up to 512 x 288 pixels and the encoding rate increases to 700kbps. To put things in perspective, the medium quality videos are better than the “high quality” options you'll find in most websites out there today. The high quality videos move up to 640 x 360 pixels @ 1000kbps. The Super HD videos have a resolution of 852 x 480 pixels and are encoded at 2000kbps and last but certainly not least, the Ultra HD videos have a huge resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and are encoded at an almost unbelievable 4000kbps. That's literally DVD quality and trust me it certainly looks the part. You'll be happy to know that every video is available for download.

The resolution of the photos is also well above what's considered standard. While most websites are still offering pictures that are about 800 x 600 pixels in size, Casey's website offers pictures in a mammoth 1600 x 1067 pixels, absolutely dwarfing the vast majority of her competition. My only complaint is the lack of a downloadable zip archive for each image gallery.

As for the archive, Casey Hays' website currently (as of August 6, 2007) contains 51 episodes, each of which consists of a high definition video and a high quality photo gallery. There are no dates associated with the updates, but given the size of the archive, I think it's safe to say that the updates are weekly, especially when you consider that this content is exclusive only to the official Casey Hays website.

I love this website, but there is something that makes me enjoy this site even more and that's bonus access to all of Casey's friends' websites. I'm talking about girls like Brooke Skye, Kat Young, Samantha Gauge, Lucy Summers, Always Pamela and Faith Belle. Members also get access to Just Sluts, Fucking The Help, Crazy Club Chicks, Acme Porn, Snatches and Spank Hut. That's 13 websites for the price of one including access to a total of 7 exclusive solo girl websites with high quality pictures and videos.
