Yes, I do.

That's what I'm talking about. This unsmoothness is all throughout the video at random spots. It's also occurring during more stationary action, but more difficult to notice obviously. I experience the problem when I try to play it with any of the PC media players I have, it doesn't seem to matter which one. And yes it is the raw flv file download from GetFLV.

Depending on which media player I use, I sometimes see 23.5 fps for the rate all the way up to 24 fps.

I tried your conversion suggestion tonight using Super. The result still has the unsmoothness.
