Stick up Cam - stuttering motion in live view

Marley, I’m confused. In essence, isn’t a recording identical to a live stream? Isn’t the same data streamed for live viewing and/or recorded for later viewing?

How could a live steam stutter when a recording of the same stream is fine (ie, I can watch my mailman stutter along while delivering letters but then watch him do the same via a recording STUTTER FREE)?

Makes no sense to me. Seems like the packets, etc. that you mention have to traverse the network regardless of whether they are viewed live or recorded. No?
