I was trying to play the Blu-ray movie of Total Recall (2012) and I noticed that the movie was constantly buffering. If I play the same movie on my Mac-Mini, iMac or MacBook Pro I don't see the buffering issue. I check and the network speed rate that the iPad is 65Mbps. The iPad 1, iMac, Mac-Mini and MacBook Pro are accessing the blu-ray movie from the same server using samba. So the question is, is the constant buffering due to the 65Mbps or the lack of CPU power in the iPad 1?
Here is the Media info on the blu-ray movie:
