It's coming from an MPEG2 file that I'm trying to downsize and make MPEG1. It's coming off of the hard drive. The MPEG2 file does not have these problems. > How are you doing the conversion from analog to digital? What are you > using to play back the VCDs.

I'm using yuvscaler -O VCD -n n to bring down the image size, and just -f 1 on the mpeg2enc. mplayer is providing the yuv stream, using its -benchmark option to force it not to drop frames. > Not sure if there's a way to smooth it out if the cause is frame > drops or other issues.

I was wondering if perhaps full-camera moves/zooms would cause there to be too much data to change on the screen, and it to appear as if paused while the parts of the frame are being updated, but I guess not.
