Yes, it is quite true, hate ripped my avatar to 29 frame and it chopped a lot and was out of sync, as soon as I set it to 25, it played fine! The solution is still the same 720 * 400, but is indifferent to higher resolution, here it displays only the format it can and no more. Have also seen that if the sound is set to 5.1 rather than 2 channels, it can give very poor sound, but have not quite looked at it yet!
