The original AVI should have looked that way too. If it did, your problem is probably not enough RAM. If the original looked smooth and the new AVI looks jumpy, then you may have somehow reversed your fields and your seeing a lot of sharp edges when the camera pans or somebody moves fast. This would mean that you're seeing the wrong field first and the progression of each frame is backwards, making it sort of 'stutter'. You would have to make changes in your 'properties' and if it says 'bottom field first' then you have to change it to 'top field first'. 'bottom is more common, but some systems prefer 'top'. If that's not it, then I don't know what to tell you. Good luck.

What quality play back mode are you using? Preview mode will play the best but with some degradation of video quality..best mode will playback with the highest quality but will some times skip frames...how many depends on the power of your system. I find that if I hit a jumpy part I stop rewind slightly and review the section. This (I think) allows the video to enter the ram buffer for better playback the second time around. A particularly cool function the temporary ram buffer playback where you highlight a section hit shift B (I think) and the section will temporarally render into ram with out writing a file which will give you a smoother playback..the length of clip depends on available ram. Also the smaller the preview screen the smoother the run. I hope some of this is helpful. The best way to check is to render and burn a dvd and check on a player..but time consuming I know.
