Question

Hi Guys,
Can you have a look at this video-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UA0x3bQUW-g
I shot it for a friend at a hotel. Can you let me know if if works ok / stutters etc. on your computer.
I edited hdv pal / ppro cs3 then adobe media encoder to H 264 1280 x 720 25fps bitrate min 2 max 4. keyframes 25.
It looks pretty bad i think at the normal youtube. It looks a lot better when you hit the 'watch in hd' but begins to stutter.
Do you have any advice?
Many thanks
scott

First, thank you for doing a very nice piece. I'm a tad bit tired of the "in-your-face" skateboarding pieces. The young lady is also "easy on the eyes."
Second, I looked at the piece in both resolutions, and also after all buffering had completed. The only things that I saw were one Transition at about the 1/4 point that seemed to have about a 1-frame "glitch," or something. Two of the Titles also did not seem to fade-up/move-in at the same pace, or with the same smoothness as the others. Even looking at movement, like the flag (again near the 1/4 mark - sorry that I did not write down the exact TimeCode), I did not notice any stuttering. I'd better get this out of the way right now, I'm viewing on my laptop's 17" 1680x1050 nVidia GeForce 8800M GTX-512MB display, with full hardware acceleration.
Not sure what you, and Dan, are seeing. I'm usually a pretty critical observer, though might be missing something important. If you can give me a TimeCode and where, in the frame, you're both seeing the problems, I'll be glad to give it another go.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS I like the mood that both the visuals and music convey. My wife also made note of the URL, for our next trip to the UK in October.
