Those do seem quite good. I suppose there may be other factors which make some of the 15fps stuff Ive seen seem much more jerky than your videos, Ive never worked out why I seem to notice it more with certain videos, and be put off it, and not others. I guess 15fps might be slightly less appropriate for people in PAL countries where the standard framearate is 25, and so 15 is not halving the framerate. But I think theres some other factors at work, dunno.
Last time I discussed this here, it seemed I was in a minority with my complaining about 15fps. Certainly traditional TV, and some areas of the 'science of motion pictures', suggests that 25 or 30 fps, 50 or 60 fps interlaced, is necessary to give results that really look smooth to the mind (similar to rate of fluorescent tube lighting rate needing to be 50Hz or much higher to avoid the brain picking up flickering). And some gamers spend quite a lot of money trying to get high framerates of over 100fps for maximum gaming experience, but I guess just like resolution, video on the internet has proved that much lower rates can be gotten away with without totally spoiling the experience. If anybody is curious Id say just try encoding your footage at the native framerate of your camera, and see how much you can or cannot tell the difference. Your files wont end up twice as large or anything like that, under most circumstances, for reasons I wont waffle about right now. I guess its probably not worth losing any sleep over either way, would love it if people ocasionally revisited the issue rather than everyone 15fps-ing it just because its what they've gotten used to doing, but the more I think about it the more I recall how unimportant it seemed to end up when I waffled about this 18 months->2 years ago.
