Easy answer: "these things happen".

Longer answer: sounds like your system is "underpowered" for playing back movies with the frame rate and bandwidth you are attempting to run. When Loch Ness Productions makes shows for SciDome, we use 1024x1024 MPGs and a relatively low bitrate. Haven't received any complaints about dropped frames on playback.

It's my experience that MPGs play better on PC platforms and QuickTime plays better on Macs. And vice versa.
