James Miller has been kind enough to offer some samples from the footage he shot for his first test video:

Did you use the blockbuster setting of Magic Bullet Looks 1.2? Or are the colors out of cam?

Guys, one question:

I am looking at the samples posted, also looking at my own shots, and see that on Full HD resolution (either 24p or 25p) motion is not smooth. Looking at MVI_0246.MOV for example, see the car coming closer: the motion is not smooth, is unfluent.

It's not a playback problem on my computer, I know, because other HD content plays well.
I see the problem even on the EOS 550D's LCD also, and on the connected HDTV via the HDMI cable.
I see it on Vimeo and Youtube also, when looking at FullHD footage made with this camera.
I know this can not be my camera's fault, since I see the phenomenon on shots posted here as well.

Shooting on smaller resolution, or cropped VGA doesn't show this, only on Full HD.

Any ideas why is this? Maybe can be compensated via editing, or is it related to MOV container?

Did you try on a different computer?
