So, PapaJohn, do you have any suggestions how to tweak his
system. I have a similar problem.

When editing or pre-viewing the movie in MM2, you are
working in a 15 fps
environment. When you save the movie - say to a 30 fps
movie file, the
playback of the movie is much more demanding, pointing to
issues with your
computer's capabilities to handle the playback.

Hi all,
Just made a video using MM2 and it plays fine when I view
it on the storyboard. To see how the codec process
affected quality I sent the movie back to myself. When I
went to view the attached file the playback was crazy
choppy... I'm thinking, this is weird! So I burn the
same movie to a cd-rom so I can just send the thing via
regular post. Same thing happens, like the frame rate is
too slow or something. Crappy video card, yes NVIDIA 8
MB that came with the system, CPU, Athlon 950mhz w/640MB
RAM. Why would it play properly while in MM2 and not
with Mediaplayer 9? From what I've seen on the NG MP9 is
a dog... could be my problem?
TIA
