Hi community,
since a few days I‘m trying to convert Blu-Rays into a MKV-Container (x264). When I play the converted MKVs on my PC, everything looks fine. But when I play it on my WD TV Live (WDBHG70000NBK, latest firmware) the movie is stuttering. As medium I tried to play it from a fast USB Stick and from a fast HDD, but the result is the same. For making the MKV-Container I used Handbrake with the setting “High Profile” (without any changes).
Please tell me which settings I have to change for making the MKVs play “stutter-free” from my WD TV Live (or is there a better alternative for converting into x264?). Thanx for your help ahead.
Here are the details from one of my created MKVs:
