twonky seems to have quite a few limitiations. I have stopped using it for a couple of years now (had it on  mybookworld) The first thing I did was to disable it and install miniDLNA. It works fine on my samsung B series TV and have seen it work even better on C series.

It’s a mix of things that have to do with the actual TV and dlna server.

You can try to convert MOV to MP4, i think you will can share it via DLNA.

MP4 is your best choice. Below link will show you how to convert movies to MP4.

Use AppGeeker to convert mov movie files and have a look at your Samsung SMART TV’s specs to see what types of video  formats it can play.

It’s a nice little program that can convert back and forth from most formats. i have used it quite a bit to render from mov to mp4 format.

I’ve used the program,  for some time without ‘damaging’ any file.
