Any chance of seeing an example of one?

Sounds like a typical client to me!
I’m so sorry, I got this post mixed up with another post that’s having similar jerkiness problems with a flash video!
Anyway, one way to improve performance is to pre-comp everything. Compositing at the player end is too much of a CPU hog.
H.264 will be even harder for a low-end PC to play back

Like I said, if the video is being resized by the player, even slightly, it’ll cause problems.

Actually, pretty well most of it looks like 24 (23.98) fps, there are some slo-mos, but they look like they are rather well interpolated or shot fast in the first place.
Nothing looks 15fps when played locally on my very ancient test Mac.

You’re probably right about the performance of the clients computer, you need to check how old it is.
If it’s newish, check they don’t have a gazillion applications running on it/limited RAM/or usual corporate firewall/anitvirus junk overloading it.

The videos look great but play rather poorly.
This maybe due to inefficiencies in the Flash player you’ve got and/or some resizing you are doing with the player on the page, but I’d bet it’s something to do with player/page coding.
You could probably look at dropping your audio datarate down a bit and not lose too much quality.

If your footage is compelling enough your viewers will be prepared for it to buffer enough to play though without pausing. It’s not like we are talking about live streaming here.
I prefer to follow the Apple movie trailers example than be dictated to by bandwidth limits.

Have you sorted out this problem, I’m not sure?

There’s nothing to stop you encoding to 16:9 MPEG-1 as long as your encoding application supports non-standard resolutions (like cleaner). The problems will be with playing it back.
The real question is why is your client requesting MPEG-1, it’s so ancient and so inefficient.
MPEG-4 would be a much better option all round.
