Derby -
ProShow Producer will export to several different formats. You might
have better luck getting a format easier for the general population to
use along with a smaller file size exporting to mp4 or mov.

Derby, I think a big problem with your vid is sheer file size: it's
300 megabytes for a 5 minute video. You should be able to easily
squeeze that down to 10-20 megabytes or thereabouts. (Since it's a
slideshow, most of the frames are identical with "motion" mostly
during the transitions.)
Solving that should let it stream without stuttering.

This will probably be old news to some. TIL, HTML5 video embedding sounds
promising, but ain't here yet. I know I'm a n00b at this, but does it really
need to be this hard? Any suggestions will be gratefully accepted.
* Chrome works fine, even with just the basic video tag. Chrome also seems
to stream much better than IE or FF, which are really stuttery to play. I
have the preload option on.
* IE worked eventually after adding a few meta cryptic tags and re-encoding
in H.264. Unfortunately, my slideshow maker (ProShow Producer) squirts out
video in xvid codec. So I had to re-encode it.
* Firefox was disappointing. No H.264 support out of the box; had to install
the WMP plugin to get it to work. There seems to be a workaround to double
encode in OGG which I'd do that if I had the space.
* Can't test Safari or Opera, so I hope this works.
Does anyone know how to tweak the 'control' option to have full-screen
available on IE and Firefox? Only seems to be available for Chrome. Its a
1080 file, so it's a shame it can't be viewed that way.
On a side note, I thought I'd kill two tech birds with one stone. Adorama
gave me 20GB with Pogoplug for free, for life. I tried uploading the video
file to save room on my personal sitespace. But darn it crawls along with
uploading, and not that great downloading either. Will do further
investigations.
Anyhoo, here is my first '5 vid

Oh, happy new year, everyone. Hope you stayed out of trouble.
