no, it hangs every time this msg is dropped and looks like the frame (+ 
some of the next ones) was dropped. In passages were no errors where 
printed, the videos runs smoothly and fine. But most of the parts 
generates these errors.

also the 720p ones? the 576p/480p versions are not h264 (iirc) and run's 
fine here too.

i've now tried them with vlc (use ffmpeg too), runs fine, except 
sometimes they "zoom" the pixels. Don't know how to describe this, 
looks scary to me.
