Craig,

Yes, I noticed a related thread on the dev list and tried some different 
bitrates.  Concensus seemed to be that 8000 kbps worked best.  It does seem 
better at higher bitrates, but it's still pretty noticeable.  The lower the 
bitrate the choppier things get overall.

Is there a bitrate setting you recommend?
