AVI files playing choppy

I've noticed that AVI format files are particularly choppy regardless of their file size. Did not notice any errors in the logs. I've tried connecting the blu-ray player to an ethernet line and wireless with the same results. I have the new Sony BDP-S5100 model.

Any ideas?

This i a very high video bitrate, not sure if this format is delivered in native format or transcoded (could you confirm, with detailed log), but you should have a good network settings for this video to be played flawlessly.

Sounds like the high bitrate over the wireless network might be one problem. I'll try to get the detailed log for the rest. Do you have any suggestions on good video conversion software?

Thanks.

What is the profile selected on console ?

[Illico]

if its Sony BDP 2012 profile,
You can try to add a custom profile for your DV video, by adding the following lines just before the last </Profiles> element in ../serviio/config/profiles.xml:

  Code:

   <Profile id="custom" name="Sony BDP custom" extendsProfileId="bdp2012">
      <Transcoding>
         <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" maxVBitrate="17000" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384" >
            <Matches container="avi" vCodec="dvvideo" profile="lpcm" />
         </Video>
      </Transcoding>
   </Profile>

Yes, I have the Sony BDP 2012 profile. I'll add the line you suggested and try again. Thanks!
