Couple of things could be going on here.
Are you playing it on an Apple device? They are known to have sorta bad playback compatibility.

Try playing it in something like VLC 2.0 or mplayer and see if that works. This should let you know if its just a problem with your player, or a problem with the file.

well im using windows and im using windows media player to watch playback and like theres a really bad playback time on it of course so if i use VLC 2.0 and everythings fine it should play back fine for everyone else here when they download it or play it?
also while im here im trying to convert other files that are way bigger and it seems to convert them just fine with the music but when it switch scenes really fast it gets blocky and it like plays back about a sec or 2 of the last clip but im try watching it on VLC 2.0 and if that fixes it ill let yall know cuz this are really my 1st attempts at compressing videos and i've been trying this for a few days now ha but practice makes perfect well im try to see how it looks on VLC and get back to y'll on it

Ok so i got VLC and that did fix my issue with the delay of my AMV and its just like the original, just curious how come it has that problem with my WMP but not VLC just wondering. also i watch my other amv on VLC and it still has that same problem the only way i can explain it is if the scenes move really fast then it gets really blocky and its a mixture of both scenes in the mean time im try messing around with it some more see if i can get it to work. Also just wanna make sure since my AMV that had the delay no longer has it on VLC will ppl that watch it get the dely if they are not watching it on VLC or once i upload it here will it not have that problem no matter what they watch it on? well thinks again for the help so far now let me see if i can get my other AMV to work

There really is nothing you can do to handle people using shitty players or not having the correct codecs installed for proper playback. It's a leap of faith you have to take.

Protip: VLC doesn't work very well, default players on every OS suck, and CCCP's MPC-HC with LAV filters is all you really need, but good luck forcing all your users to do that short of a new container.
