I have a couple of recent TV shows that are, according to MediaInfo, encoded with AVC that result in choppy playback on the WDTV. The same files play fine on my PC. Anyone have any idea which setting/attribute of this particular encoding would be causing the problem?

Edit: I should mention I’m playing the files off a USB HDD attached to the WDTV. Also by ‘choppy playback’, think a messed up digital TV signal.
Thanks
