Choppy video?

Another note.  VideoClip objects seem to be a weird hybrid.  The  
VideoClip object uses a player to display it's video.  So if  
QuickTime is installed then it will play videos and audio files that  
QuickTime supports (at least in my tests).  It seems to have problems  
with SWF files and some other formats that a player object would open  
however.

You also get very limited playback control with a VideoClip.  You can  
show the controller but if the video reaches the end of the movie  
then the VideoClip object disappears (which is intended behavior).   
If you really want to embed your video inside of your stack then a  
VideoClip object is the way to go.  Besides that, I haven't thought  
of any reasons why you would want to use a VideoClip object rather  
than a player object.
