Possible bug in flash player 9 with video..somewhat urgent help

Question

Hi,
I was making a site based on heavy use of video. The site was
working just fine, the videos played well, actionscript ok, etc.
Last night I upgraded my flash player, and suddenly the site looks
completely broken.
Videos now have large pixels and they don't play right.
I uninstalled flash player 9, went back to 8, and there they
work ok again.
Originally they had not the best quality to save bandwidth,
but they looked just fine for the scope of the site. If I re-encode
them to a higher quality, they look better in FP9 but we're talking
about almost 60% more size to achieve what had been done correctly
with flash player 8. No one seems to have this problem right now,
but I think it is a major issue, cause not everyone is using 400kb
to encode the videos. It must have something to do with the codec
inside the plugin, they way it handles everything in low
resolution.
I have to say I tried everything: quality =high, embedded
video, flv progressive, 100%quality to JPG when publishing, etc.
The video looks bad ONLY with flash player 9. I am not allowed to
publish the address but I think this might have happened to someone
else too. please please any help appreciated, I'm on due date
(everything was finished!) and now it cannot be uploaded like this.
thanks a lot!!

Flash 9 is out of beta - d'oh!
Anyway, I have a few video's published on the web. They are
encoded at 400kb (medium quality/On2 codec). Check them out:

That video looks the same on Flash Player 8 and 9 on IE and
Firefox.
I have no idea what is wrong with your videos, but there is
no bug in Player 9 as far as I can tell.
You have to publish at least one of your videos and it's url
so that I can see the problem that you are describing.
