Choppy playback of all my local files in mp4 format (for PS3). All my movies have somewhat choppy playback, not enough bad to be unwatchable, but enough bad that is not enjoyable. I have no such problem playing the movies from the computer or from PS3.

The best way to describe to choppy playback is that is sufficiently unsmooth to enjoy the films; I have no such problem while streaming for Boxee nor does the problem occur when I play movies from the same NAS source from either a PC or PS3.

Below is a copy from mediasource. I have used DVDfab to convert all my movies&shows to mp4 (PS3) format.
