Sony BD trouble with certain AVI files
I am running into a problem with certain .AVI files on my BD player coming up as invalid using the BD profile. The same files play well on my Samsung Galaxy Tab from the same Serviio server (v1.1) running the generic profile. Other files (including other .AVI files) play great on all devices. Here is the ffmpeg -i on one of the files:

I'm assuming I need to tweak the transcode settings for AVI in the BD profile, but I have been unsuccessful thus far and I don't want to accidentally break the .AVI files that are currently working correctly.
Thanks in advance.
