I’m working on a small video based site this month. It hosts about 10 large videos. Going through tests, I decided they looked best at 700kbps, variable bitrate (VBR) and they are 800x450. The rub is that we’re looping the videos and in Flash player 9 124 every so often things go crazy as you can see below:

I _think_ I have solved this on the video end, rendering them at a constant bit rate (CBR) but as anyone with a bit of knowledge about this, the files are a bit larger in size and some of the higher motion videos suffer a bit.

Has anyone experienced this before and if so, is CBR vs. VBR really the issue here? Is it part of the issue or am I totally off track?
