flickering mp4 export from Powerpoint

[jon5gallant]

I never had any issues with VLC playback until i created an mp4 export from Powerpoint. The slide transitions are flickering and jumping between slides.
The mp4 plays fine in windows media player and 'film&tv' app.

I tried to increase the file caching time to 3500 from 1500 but it had no effect.
Thanks,
Jon
