You must be thinking of someone else.  I don't believe I have EVER

30fps video doesn't need to look choppy.  Even 24fps video can look
quite good.

I was refering to the issue mplayer has when detelecining/
deinterlacing.  Certain frames are displayed for different lengths of
time, so panning usually looks (unnecessarily) jumpy.  However, after
deinterlacing and re-encoding, mplayer can play back the progressive
(30fps) video perfectly smooth.

This problem does not appear with MPlayerXP, so saying it has nothing
to do with threads seems a rather ignorant and baseless assertion.  Of
course, this is assuming this was his actual problem.  With very little
info, it's hard to say.

Of course???  Jeff just claimed that was a problem...  Go argue with
him.

A matter of preference.  I prefer 30fps 720x480 material, rather than
60fps 720x240 material...  (ghosts and all)

If someone needs to be told to stop trolling... it's certainly not me
