Jittery! 
Yes, I was able to retrieve it with very little problem, but I have not watched it through. This is because my playback is also very jittery. People on this thread are referring to it as "laggy" but that isn't exactly the right term, for my experience. For me, the auditory signal comes through just fine -- the music sounds appropriate, no jumps lags or stops. But for me, the visual signal freezes and then jumps, at about two or three jumps per second. The jumps are very noticeable, to the extent that the video is simply not enjoyable to watch. There does seem to be some variation in the amount of jitters, from one level of resolution to another. Sometimes when a scene changes, like from one porno source to another, or for a big influx of on-screen text or on-screen beat-meter changes, the jitters increase or decrease a bit in frequency. The absoluteness of them -- totally frozen stop-motion; then a jump -- is not changing. It's always a frozen stop-moment in time. But the frequency goes up and down a little bit, depending on (what looks to me like) volume of data that needs to be streamed through my ports. It almost appears to be one of those old turn-of-the-last-century movies, the way it jumps in the manner so jittery, and everything seems to move out of proper synchronicity with reality.
I am pretty good with computer settings -- I am not a computer genius, but I dicker with them enough to know that I've tried most of the reasonable options. I think the thing that would make me be able to play this thing back, would be a re-render (or whatever you call it) at a lower (or higher) frame-rate or bit-rate (or whatever you call it). I've tried a lot of reasonable solutions --
- downloading and installing new codecs
- changing video players
- Microsoft Windows Media Player
- VLC Player
- Quicktime Player
- That bullshit "movies and videos" app that comes with Windows 10 and nobody uses
- etc.
- allocating greater processing space to video playback
- in video player settings
- in general screen and display settings
- turning off protections
- anti-virus
- firewall
- clearing up memory from other background processes
- disconnecting internet
- killing all "metro" app interfaces and connectivity
- disabling fixer software for screen resolution and quality (in-built video card software)
- disabling chat and email functions
- running a "clear RAM cache" software utility (f.e. Glary Utilities has one)
- etc.
- etc.
None have really had much impact. For a little bit there, I THOUGHT I was getting improvement by changing the Windows Media Player settings from "automatically detect connection speed" to "choose connection speed" and setting it first to the lowest available, then the highest, and back and forth a few times, but I can't replicate that improvement any more. It was sort of improving things; but then it stopped improving things; and anyway, it implies that there's an internet connection running (the options go from "modem" to "T1" and "ethernet") yet I'm playing back from a hard drive, so there's already something mildly confusing (though it makes some sense, if you know how ports are used even during non-internet activity for connectivity).
My set-up is ...
- HP Envy Laptop
Windows 10 with all appropriate updates
Intel i7 2.2 GHz chip
8 GB RAM
x64-based processor and operating system
For me one solution will probably be, to take the larger file and simply re-save it as a smaller file, just by means of one or another free video-editing software package. I don't usually keep video-editing software available my hard-drive, since I hardly ever edit videos, so I'll have to find the appropriate software and download it and install it and then learn to use it. Thus, I haven't tried this potential solution yet. And (obviously) it will reduce the playback quality in order to do something about the bandwidth (if bandwidth is, indeed, the problem in the first place!) even though level of quality (or bandwidth?) probably isn't the problem. So, it may not solve the problem for me, whereas it may introduce new problems. I'm hoping someone who knows video-creation and rendering can look into it better than I.
PS -- I gave a lot of details because I figured more is better in any technical discussion. But I'm not too unhappy -- I'm DELIGHTED that the new dude has created a new Cock Hero and I THANK him for his efforts! We'll work TOGETHER on the playback question. Maybe it's my set-up, in which case, I'm happy to tweak another setting or whatever. Thanks again!
