Most likely there is a problem with the source material you have then.  It
could simply be unsuitable for modern compression algorithms.  I have
created a page that demonstrates this very well:

<http://mac.povray.org/support/video/>

NOTE: It will take at least another hour *after* I made this post to upload
all files to povray.org as I only have a ADSL connection with a 16 KByte/s
(128 KBit/s) upstream and some of the files are rather huge.  So please
don't tell me that some files are corrupted within the next two or so hours
- they simply didn't arrive on the server yet! :-)
