Why is animation playback so slow?
Contributed by Daniel Jircik. Animations tend to play back slow in blender and in other movie players. When using microsoft media player even with new drivers i have found that anything with a higher resolution than 320×280 will not play back smoothly. I A good way to speed up video playback is to render an animation to AVI-JPG or AVI-RAW and converting it to either MPEG or DivX ;-). MPEG files can be played back on almost any platform while DivX 😉 is only available on Windows at this moment.
