Thanks guys...I've discovered in the world of video there seems to be a million Codecs...some preserve data, others melt it, some play smoothly, some are just plain cr@p.

Then there are the computers on which the stream is viewed.... some cope very well, some choke better than Greg Norman at a US open.

Anyway I've uploaded a fairly high-res HD stream...so, depending on your system, you may, or may not have smoothly-flowing video.

Such is life

As for the nitty gritty..... each of the 200 odd video frames (ie just a few seconds of video) was generated from 200x 600 frame .avi's.

Yes that's about 120,000 frames that needed processing....Even with a Hex Core I-7 CPU it takes time....
