could be a ntcs / pal problem
usa uses ntcs as video encoding (30 frames a second by 525 lines)
try to convert it into pal (25 frames 625 lines)
fast flickering appears as blurriness to the eye
i don't think they send you a poorly made commercial......

Hi everyone
I have had a commercial video sent to me in mpg format from USA and the pictures are out of focus.

I have requested and had 2 replacement videos and both are also out of focus. I have opened them with VLC, Quicktime and iTunes, also on Power PC, Intel and on a Windows machine with XP.

In each case the videos open and run OK but are always out of focus.

Anyone got any clues on this problem?

Cheers
John
