I have followed suit and given imeem a go http://charmax.imeem.com/ - it's pretty good! So, so much better than the evil youtube. If you haven't already, maybe you should give it a shot?
Thanks so much, Charmax! I'll try re-encoding sometime in the next few days using your bitrate and dimensions as a guide. My original file was ntsc mpeg2, so it's possible that could be the problem. It's reassuring that you didn't see choppiness on your end, at least (and it's incredibly flattering that you added I Feel You to your favorites!) I really appreciate your help.
Completely unrelated aww moment: The kitty in your icon looks an awful lot like mine (http://bradcpu.com/DSCN1284.JPG).
Here's wishing you Supernatural dreams. The good kind, not the kind with blood and monsters.
I wish I could be of more help. I'm not sure if the problem might be to do with interlaced as opposed to progressive footage(most of my original source is progressive). Most of my stuff is encoded at 25fps I don't know if that might be a factor.
The icon is from a portrait of my little cat Buff. Unfortunately he is kind of elderly and so doesn't look nearly as pretty as your beautiful cat.
Best of luck with your technical problems. Lt me know if there is anything I can help you with.
