Hi Chris, thanks for your time, here is some more info:

the video is 720*480, it will be on both DVD and online (as quicktime, 2 different resolutions, one full, one half). but my main concern is the online version for now.
It is progressive, there is no video footage that I am using in my comp, it is all still images.
I first tried 24fps, but the whole move was too jerky due to lack of frames, so I believe I will keep it at 30fps.
I’ve done some renderings right from AE but I thought the quality wasn’t there (could be user error) and was taking long, the way I am working now is that I am first rendering a tiff sequence (no compression) , then I am taking that into quicktime pro and rendering an uncompressed mov file. Then I’ve tried using Squeeze and again quicktime pro to render the h264 and sorenson3 versions, but all have the same problem: it jumps at certain parts.
I checked for duplicate frames, there is none.
Plus, if I play the movie from lets say from the 3rd second on, then the jumps happen slightly later then before. which kind of tells me that the computer needs to refresh to buffer again? but I have rendered very small sized tests, like around 4-5 MB, and they still had the same problem.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for taking time on replying Todd,

I actually rendered a few tests that are quite small sized quicktimes, around 4-5MBs but still the problem is there.
I also tried to optimize my pictures and adding some motion blur, but none of these helped really.

when you said “codec that requires a lot of processing power to decode”, do you think h264 or sorenson3 is one of those?

Thanks
