It may just be my laptop, but when I rendered the final 500 frames into a movie file, I open it up and it runs smoothly for like the first 5 frames, then pauses and skips tremendously as the movie slider is in motion. You can't see the waves move it just skips.
It depends on the compression-algorithm, the quality settings of it, the processor(the better the proc the faster the decompression-algorithm of the codec can work), the resolution and maybe the video card(some videocards support hardware decoding for video codecs), harddisc and ram.
If I wanna play a 640x480 video with high-quality settings on my outdated system, it`s mostly not possible to get a smooth result(Depends on the visual information and the way the algorithm works)
The divX-codec has more options to influence quality and speed as the standard ones(cinepak, intel indeo, MS vid, etc.).
