Hi,
When streaming MP4 files to my PS3 they all stutter. I have been streaming videos to my PS3 for some time now inlcuding MKV's remuxed to MPG's and Divx and WMV etc. I have tried these same files on my 360 and they all stream fine.
What I think the problem is is that for some reason the file is being streamed to the PS3 at a higher than needed bitrate. I found this out by using a wireless bandwidth meter which checks how fast my PC is uploading to my PS3 when I am straming videos e.g. when I press select and I am streaming 720p MPG it says 6Mb per second and it also says 6Mb per second on the PC. However, when I am straming MP4 files to the PS3 when it says 1Mb on PS3 it says 10Mb on PC which is probably why it is stuttering as my PC is connected wirelessly and can not handle 10mb. Then streaming the same file to the 360 it says 1Mb on PC while when streaming to PS3 it would say 10Mb. PS3, 360 and PC are all connected wirelessly and I know that there is more than enough bandwidth available as average bitrate is 2Mb.
I have tried PS3 media server and Tversity and same problem on both. The PS3 is on the latest firmware. The same file copied to the PS3's hard drive works flawlessly although I do not want to have to keep doing this so I would appreciate any help guys.
Thanks.
