More Stuttering Video Woes...

[milomedia]

Hi All, first post here. I also read through all the similar posts but none of the solutions worked for me. I've been given a disc full of quicktime .mov files, and the files converted from FFMPEGX consistently stutter regardless of what format, framerate, size, or audio type I use. I'm pretty sure I've tried everything. The same people gave me another disc containing some .mp4s which converted just fine (to flv) as well as VOBs, DV Streams, and other .mov files, so I'm led to believe that this is a problem with the source file. The source files do play fine in quicktime, so i wouldn't go so far as to say the source files are "bad" maybe just bad for ffmpegx. I've read that many people have had this problem, but the solutions (re doing the audio track, saving differently) aren't an option for me as I don't have the original source files, just the compressed movies.

Any idea how I can get around this? I've tried converting to DV, .Mov, .avi, all with the same stutter.

Thanks in advance for any advise.

What, exactly, are the specs of the "problem" source files? What does ffmpegX show they are?
