When i start the Movie in the Quicktime Player everything is flawless.

System: 8core 3,2/ MTRON 128GB Content Drive/ 4GB Ram/ NVidia 8800

Animation Codec is used because of the Image Quality!

I´m just wondering why this happens.
The File is 1.17 GB big and the total time is 48 Seconds. Datarate is 208,42 mbit/sec.

Any Idea?

how long did you have to wait before it started playing after you clicked start in quicktime player?
how many screens did you play movie over?

thats a pretty big movie-

suggest you try apple intermediate codec - immediately and see how well that performs - its the only codec that works well enough usually.
