Most likely...or an incompatible/outdated codec...either way would
cause frame skipping.

Some of the "noise" was intentional, in the series they would always
use a kind of background "hum". In some parts, like the part with
Julian and Ezri in the middle I cut down the hum pretty significantly.
Part of it is also due to the encoding, I used like 22050Hz,
56kbps...not exactly stellar, but good for web distribution. My
primary concern was more with the mixing than the overall sound
quality though...for example the second music section, I think the
volume needs to go down a bit on that...like say 15 to 25 percent of
what it's currently at.
There's also very slight bit of the original instrumental section in
the very beginning. In the original clip there's an instrumental
section playing that stops just a bit after the computer chimes, so
what I did was remove the original chime and found another chime in
another clip that had no background music, but I'm thinkin I might
need to find another clip that has the computer saying "incoming
transmission" cause if you listen real close you can still hear that
tiny bit of instrumental...it's blended alright, but it still kinda
stands out...well to me anyway. Blending/mixing audio is probably my
weakest area at the moment, but I'm doing a lot of experimentation and
research. I'm VERY interested in subwoofer effects, like the one
Linkin Park used in the very start of their song "Numb". I want to
take it to a higher level though and do some stuff with 5 point
surround sound, like a war scene in which it feels like explosions are
going off all around you.

Why not post them to the binary flonk?
