Hi Erich,

  I tried the above IIS streaming site. I ran the video on both Windows and Ubuntu on the same machine. (Both OSs are dual boot on my machine).

  In ubuntu,

     I was getting Downloading bit rate around 350k (upper right bit rate bar) . FPS was ranging between 15-18. And the video was played at 350k (lower left graph).

   In Windows,

       Downloading rate - 2040 kbps
       FPS - 23-25 fps
       Video played at 2.04M

   So is it a downloading problem ? Anyway let me know if you need me to do any other kind of tests.

   My machine is a Intel pentium dual-core T3400 @ 2.16 GHz, 3 GB ram, 32 bit.

   I did the same experiment on my Mac which is a i7 dual core with 8 GB ram. It had the same numbers as the Windows test given above.
