Hello all.
I was wondering if some willing souls could share their experiences. I have ripped about 15 Blu-Ray movies to M2TS so far using Clown_BD. I always take only the main movie and the best English audio track. The files are kept on my media server (Windows Server 2003) and I have a Zotac IONITX-A-U system that I built with Live Camelot. While my main network is Gigabit...the switch where I have my HTPC is 100mbit only (a 5 port gbit switch is on the way).
So far, everything has played flawlessly with the exception on the 3 Pirates of the Caribbean movies. I get stutters about every 2 minutes and 2 - 3 dropped frames during that time. The only thing I can see that is different about these movies is that they are encoded as h264 vs. VC1 which the rest of my movies are. Also, they are the only movies that are pushing a bitrate of 30mbit+.
If anyone has one or all of these movies (and preferably and ION system), can you see if you get stuttering? I am really hoping that the cause if teh 100mbit link...but I doubt it.
TIA for the help!
