- Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka Episode 11, HD version shows very choppy playback and audio is out of sync with video. When viewing during streaming download, the little "buffering" wheel comes on about every 10 seconds or so for the entire episode. All other episodes and formats in this series play normally.
I can also see the problem in the HD versions of ep 11 and not ep 10 or ep 12.
Times between buffering is 8 to 15 seconds. Sometimes it is enough to stop the audio, sometimes not.
The problem still exists. At startup, the "please wait" propeller spins for 30 seconds before playback starts.
Also, the image quality is exactly the same with "HD on" and "HD off".

I'd like to further explore whether the "HQ" tag was applied to the video because it was in a widescreen format or because (perhaps) the video is of higher quality than the DVD from whence it came.
I don't think that the quality compared to a DVD is a requirement.
If a stream is encoded at a higher peak bit-rate than the "SD" stream, then it qualifies as being "HQ".
