I would bet that you've got an uneven number of frames. h.264 uses IBP
frame sequences and your clip's length is probably off by a frame or
two so the compression scheme is repeating a frame to make up the
difference. You'll have to exactly match the IBP sequence to prevent
the duplicate frame by shifting the length of your loop a frame at a
time until it works. Someone may know the cadence of your compression
scheme but Wikipedia was no help at all for me.

There are other formats that will playback on a windows machine. You
could try that or you can try shifting the loop point a frame at a
time until you get to the right number of frames.
