Problem with mp4 files on Samsung C6540

I am trying to play videos from my Samsung WB600 camera on my Samsung C65340 (similar spec to C6530)
The files are stuttering/choppy on the TV - but play ok on PC using Qucktime and VLC (but not Windows Media Player)

At least one output file must be specified

Check the peak video bitrate with Bitrate Viewer

Thanks

Ok peak video bitrate 12288Kbps is not too high

Could you check with MediaInfo tools the h264/AVC, profile and level ?

Its normal, I do not see what happens

are you on wired or wireless network? the MP4 playback requires a lot of requests for chunks of the file and if they cannot be served quickly enough it might cause the stuttering

Hi

Thanks to the both of you for your help
It is a wired connection

I have done some more investigating - which just seems to add to my confusion

The video plays ok :
- on VLC and Quicktime on PC
- on the actual Camera
- on TV when Camera is connected directly to TV via micro-HDMI cable

The video does NOT play :
- using DLNA - i.e. Serviio and 'play to'
- using an SD-Reader USB stick - plugging the camera SD card into the stick and then into TV
- copying files onto a USB stick and plugging into TV
- using Windows media player on PC

So the video works in some cases but not others - I am totally confused

You could try to remux you files into m2ts with TsMuxer tools.
