yeah, I'm running it off of my media streamer, so shouldn't be an issue. I think it may be due to dl'ing the first 4 parts from the CZ site, and the other two from RS links. It doesn't occur in the later part of the video where the RS files would be representin'.

Think I'm misremembering the sources I used - possibly the DVD which had more detailed edges on the flashes and other animated effects. Since you seem to have deliberately gone for more for amorphous shapes, did you have some reference for these?
