The subject explains it all.  I have ripped all of my DVD's using Handbrake into mp4's and have added them to mymovies.  All of these movies play perfect on my Vista Media Center, but when i try playing them on my DMA2200 their unpredictable.  The movie could play for 5, 10, even 15 minutes without a studder, but  then it will be unwatchable and sooner or later will give me the "done, restart, delete" screen.

I enabled flow control in the Rx direction like the DMA2200 user guide suggests, but that didn't help.  Anyone have any suggestions??

Network Setup:
My Vista Media Center (gigabit NIC) is connected to a Dlink DIR-655 router, which is connected to a Netgear gigabit switch, which connects to my DMA2200.

What bitrate and container properties are you using to encode? Is it ISO or AVC?

Try one with a high CBR and see if it works. I'm finding VBR on the WMV/AP VC-1 container to be unreliable.

Im still very new to this stuff so im not sure what you mean by CBR or VBR.

Im encoding with the handbrake h.264 baseline 1.3 encoder and with the AAC audio encoder.  My video bitrate is 3000kbps.  Not sure if this answered your question so let me know if i can give you more info.  Thanks!

Ok... So im going to take a shot in the dark and say CBR is constent bitrate and VBR is varible bitrate.  So i've started seeing some improvement when i have 65% constent bitrate selected.

I would prefer using AAC audio, but what other container properties would you recommend? Which Level would you recommend??  Thanks again

could be a time-stamp synch issue. have you tried something like nero recode 2? I believe its the only encoder that creates accurate timestamps

Thanks for the reply!

Nero was the first program i used.  The settings i used were 4kbps, AAC Audio.  The movies also studdered pretty bad.  Useing Nero, the studdering would begin within the first minute usually.  I have gotten much better results using Handbrake, but i still get studdering.
