Hi Thanks for all your feedback about this.
I am afraid I am not knowledgeable enough to be able to find and implement a better downsampling method for filter-media on my own. Just started with DSpace this week and I am trying to improve it using the tools I know the best (which sometimes aren't the best tools). I will take Steve's advice to the company that gives support and development to our DSpace and see how they can apply this to our server.

Well, this is exactly what I knew would work, but what I recommend against. I always cringe when I run into a site that does that. You see, the difference is that the browser uses a different (obviously better) downsampling method than the filter-media plugin. Moreover, this may vary from browser to browser, so it's possible you won't get consistent results. The correct solution would be to find a better downsampling method for filter-media, as I originally suggested. That has the added benefit of helping all DSpace users because we could just use the improved plugin.
