Works good for me too. Default to 500. Occasional freeze frame but only momentarily. Picture quality is very good until I go to full screen which gets a little fuzzy.

Fine for me, default at 500, no problem switching between different res.

Knew it 6.00pm and the rug rats and ankle biters are home on Myspace, Facebook and Bebo and the Net drops several gears

The default was very poor and had freeze frame several times. Changed to low 180bpm and only one freez frame and didn't dare enlarge screen. Govt announced today faster broadband on way depending on where you are in country may take up to 10 yrs crikey !! I might need to emigrate just to get faster connection. Although my town was listed amongst first to get new fibre!

Worked fine for me. Auto detect at 500. Everything ran smooth, clean and looked crisp. 250 and 180 ran smooth but didn't look so hot, as expected.

No good for me at 500, 180, nor between. Audio was fine but video looked like series of still pictures with about two seconds between each.

Mike, the test worked great! I watched it in high resolution. Beaker.

It defaults to 500. I am connecting at 11 to 18 mbps at a very low to low signal strength (I have intermittent signal problems). Prior to this test, I have been getting good results with the videos. On the test, I am getting somewhat poor picture quality with some sound/picture synch up problems.

Well, it is in all the others feedback,,detected 500 on low works for me.. when i chose low the bitrate stay's on 500... Is that normal??

There appears to be no fix yet for my video problems. I have reloaded firefox, updated flash player, cleared the cookies and cache, but still won't play. This issue just started last week. Here is the screen shot of the error.

Mike,

I have a slower network connection ( DSL @ 1.5Mbps ). I have experienced a lot of buffer problems lately.

Using your test videos, my default/auto detect rate was 500.

At 500 - Videos have occasional buffer underflows, sometimes a jumpy picture, similar to a lower frame rate and a couple of freezes. Video is sharp and audio is flawless.

At 220 - Videos have fewer problems and no jumpy pictures. Video is not sharp.

At 180 - Videos have occasional buffer underflows but no jumps or freezes. Video is lower contrast and fuzzy.


Flow Player seems to have several problems:

-Audio/video sync can be lost and doesn't recover.
-It never seems to fill the receive buffer high enough to avoid underflows regardless of settings.

-Video freezes for seconds. A decoder should be able to "replay last frame" and recover, most of the time without notice.

Compared to other videos I download from the net,TG videos seem to be using less network bandwidth. Some Youtube videos ( HD 1280P ) use almost 5 times the network bandwidth with fewer video artifacts. I do, however get buffer underflows.
