.mov files play slowly in Qucktime Player and Premiere Can't Post

I am not a pro videographer but I shot my son's high school graduation
ceremony. Anyway, in Premeire 6.5 (mac) I exported sections of the video,
compressed in Cinepak using 29 1/2 frames I think, did not compress the
audio. I burned the movies with my CD burner. I needed to compress them in
order to get them in the CD. When I compressed them in Premiere I exported
them from the "work area" if that means anything of value.
What I don't understand is that my compressed videos seem to be coming out
chunky, by that I mean it starts out fast and then stops, then starts again etc. I
have a mac G4 400 meg computer, just bought a new 120 gig harddrive. I have
384 megs of ram. I tried using the 9.2 os system and mac 10.2.6 with the
latest Quicktime Player. But still the videos I made are slow and inconsistant. I
played them in 6.5 Premiere and still very slow, some parts might be fast but
not much. I play other videos like wedding video off the net and they play fine.
Thanks for any ideas.

Bill,
I would strongly suggest that you use the Sorenson3 codec instead of Cinepak. The Cinepak codec is very, very old and was developed for 256 color displays. You will get much better looking video for the same data rates using Sorenson3. This may also solve the playback problem you are having.
I hope this helps,
Ron
