I am not an expert on this but I find some downloadable scenes are lacking when it comes to fluid movement. I'd assume this is something to do with frame rates and my eyes being sensitive to this? Some scenes seem really fluid and don't bother me whereas others seem to lag, almost as if they are showing less frames? This really bothers me and I notice it a lot with new HD Elegant Angel scenes as well as a few others (such as Hard X). The quality is great but the movies just don't feel smooth to me, in fact I'd rather have that fluid movement than image quality. Does anyone know what I am talking about, is there a way to make these scenes feel smoother? Appreciate any help.

Are you downloading clips and playing them on a player offline, or are you streaming?

What kind of a computer (age, CPU, memory, graphics processor, OS, etc.) and what video playing software are you using? The higher the video quality/framerate/bitrate/resolution/etc, the more processing power is needed to play the video smoothly. Use task manager (if a Windows PC) to check the CPU performance load while the laggy video is playing, and compare to the CPU performance while a smooth-playing video is playing.

The content you will find on streaming and downloadable files is practically all 30fps. If its regular mainstream movies, or tv shows shot on film its 24fps. There is a slight difference between these, but not much. European porn from the 90s and early 00s is 25fps (I'm choosing not to go into the interlaced debate here).
So, my point is you should not notice much difference on downloadable clips.
BUT if you are playing files on a new TV, those TVs have motion interpolation options (often called "smooth" something) that will create more frames, practically "guessing" what movement between existing frames would be like. This feels a LOT smoother. Some people like it, some hate it. I like it and I think its a great solution until more video/movies are actually shot in higher frame rates.
So you might be experiencing that this feature is turned off or on depending on what you watch and what you watch it on. There is also pc software that allows you to get this feature on your pc (which I use).
And complicating things just a bit more, since I want to be accurate and for the record, there is actually a very tiny amount of porn that is shot in 60fps, but its very rare as of now. I'm crossing fingers that we will see much more of it very soon.

If you open the video files with Mediainfo, you can see all of the parameters of the file.
