The images are stored in memory on load and play realtime is off. We see
that on at least two machines, both Windows 64bit. Personally I never
noticed especially those small "blinks" in the framerate, one of our
animators came up with that, and after doing some tests with linearily
moving squares I'm pretty sure he is right. I'll give it a shot on a
couple of other machines today.
I'll also check on your DMA suggestion, though I'm sure that all
machines are installed properly, including the chipset driver.
Thanks for the suggestions.

I don't know, perhaps the 'Keep Images In Memory' switch is off. Also, try toggle off that 'play realtime and the View->Image Format option to RGBA. I don't think the 'play real time' option is actually necessary to play real time, so you might want to turn that off.
Is this happening on several machines? On older machines there is this problem where without a chipset driver the DMA on the motherboard isn't performing correctly. This happens after a machine wipe.

Heya,
anyone else having problems with the Flipbook's performance? We can't
make it to playback a single image sequence on a constant 25fps
framerate. Somtimes the playback is really choppy, sometimes we only
notice the framerate to quickly blink once in a while when closely
looking at the actual framerate display (the number in brackets). The
sequences are short, less than PAL res, fitting perfectly well into
memory, V-Sync settings don't have any effect, and trying something like
30fps playback speed to better match the LCD's 60fps framerate (silly
idea I came up with this morning...) doesn't have any effect as well.
Basically I'm running out of ideas...
Anyone? Cheers!
