I can't see all of the details of how the video is encoded (FLV MetaData Viewer has a bug that keeps it from displaying some .flv file's data) but this is what I can see in FLV Player:
Dimensions: 694 x 440 Framerate: 25fps Audio codec ID: 2 (which means it's an MP3) Audio datarate: 96 kbits/s (also the audio sounds stereo to me...) Video codec ID: 4 (which means it's On2 VP6) Video datarate: 400 kbits/s The main "issue" that's likely causing the stuttering is the constant motion throught the frame area. In my own video work I've been able to reduce that by bumping up the keyframe rate, but that of course will increase the file size and probably the workload on someone's CPU when it's played. I'd experiment with reducing the frame rate to something like 15 fps, give it a keyframe rate of one every 5 frames, convert the audio to mono and try tweaking the datarates of the video and the audio to get a good balance of visual quality and CPU bandwidth use. If your encoder software lets you set how many passes it makes during video encoding you can set it to use two passes, which can improve visual quality at lower video datarates. I hope that helps... ^_^ (ps: That's a delightful looking home. :D) -------------------------------- Andrew Murphy Interactive Media Specialist [EMAIL PROTECTED] Delvinia 214 King Street West, Suite 214 Toronto Canada M5H 3S6 P 416.364.1455 ext. 232 F 416.364.9830 W www.delvinia.com CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This email message may contain privileged or confidential information.

I think the fact that there are a lot of hard edes and contiuous movement that any faults are more obvious. The stuttering was occuring as the video was playing and the file had not yet fully loaded (though was not halted to fill the buffer). The strange lines you mention appear to be the video player trying to keep up with the display. Despite all this, I think the quality isn't too bad. I'd try out a few variations on the encoding to see if that helps. I don't think I've ever tried to play such a large video on my laptop before. My last video project was 200x150.

How does it stutter, as it is buffering and than resumes - or does the video has strange "lines" appearing like it the video doesnt perform well. I think it is very strange, and I cant understand that I havent heard about this issue before! 2008/7/3 Paul Andrews <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > What settings did you give the encoder - maybe your bitrate is too high. > It > certainly stutters on my machine.
