Two Samsung TV's 46C6900 and 40C5000

Windows 2008 R2 server delivering over gigabit to both TV's

Unsure of issue need help to diagnose?

No idea how to read these outputs from ffmpeg or mediainfo :?

This works fine no issues at all..

The next two fail badly, they play but stutter to certain degrees one will pause every 5 or so seconds and the other is more random.

Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 47.95 (5994/1
25) -> 23.98 (24000/1001)

Could you also post MediaInfo tool result of these two files (see signature link) ?
You could also check the videobitrate, should be less than 20-25Mbps.

just to note, they are both delivered natively, no transcoding is involved.
