    There seems to be a couple of issues concerning dropping frame rates with this upload, It seems to be on UA-cam's end as the original video file I uploaded plays perfectly. I hope this gets sorted out by them in the next few hours otherwise I don't know what to do? ... re-upload and hope for the best?
