After weeks of troubleshooting, I came to the conclusion you just wrote. Manually adjusting the bit rate to get my file just under 500mb was the ultimate solution. After uploading my video to Vimeo multiple times, it played back in a jittery and choppy manner and I was so frustrated because I knew I was doing everything right.

I soon realized I was viewing through Vimeo’s Flash player. Despite my computer having plenty of power to playback HD in Flash, something still wasn’t right. Then, stupid me, realized I could switch playback to HTML5. Bingo. My video played back smoothly with very good quality. All I had to do this whole time was click “switch to HTML5 player.” Duh. But I have learned a lot from posting in these forums so I thank you guys for that.
