Seems like many of these devices have spotty luck with stuff like this. But one thing that would tell me something is wrong is if someone has an issue with v3 that they don't have with v1 or v2. Otherwise I'll have to conclude, even for my own device which once played them, that it's inherit. At least in that event, I wouldn't have to start over with this 1080p versions.
EDIT: V2 is causing the same choppy playback for me. I have to conclude that my issue has to do with my Roku, rather than the video. In other words, I have no better clue why some of you are having problems than I did before. *shrugs* But if you are able, you could reencode it yourself to a known good format, or get the 720p version.
I couldn't find a V2 or a V1 so will just watch V3 on the computer for the time being. Though will give Handbrake a go at some point to see if that works. I'm sure somebody here will come up with the solution before long anyway - it's probably something simple, one of those annoying little settings that makes all the difference. Thanks for checking it out anyway.
I have watched the first half of Clock of Deception. Whilst there's only so much one can do with the material of course, I LOVE what you've done with it. So much more stream-lined now and it flows way better. Cutting all the journey to the gungun city out and much of Jar-Jar's antics just about makes him tolerable now and cuts to the heart of the story better. If only George Lucas still had an editor of Marcia Lucas' skill when piecing together the raw material for Phantom it could have been a pretty decent film, in addition to using a voice actor entirely to enlace Jar-Jars incredibly grating voice! The only thing that slightly interupted the flow for me were the deleted upscaled scenes. Interesting additions but the noticeable drop in quality (in the 1080p version) made then really stick out to me. None the less interesting additions. Look forward to seeing what you've done with the remainder later tonight. Resisting to the urge to go through your check-list of changes until I've finished, or I'll be looking out for them. To me an unnoticed change is a compliment as it means the film is flowing as it should :)
