Problem

hi everyone! i have panasonic lcd full hd tx-l37u10e,and i bought wd tv live media player.

i ve downloaded 2 movies from the internet, 720p.blueray.x264.dts and when i play it the picture has a white dots.

when i play divx everything is ok. does anyone knows why this happends?

tv and lcd are connected with hdmi cabel.

p.s. sorry if my english is bad.

this is a picture of a movie,and you can see the problem:

It looks like macro blocks in the picture which could be a couple things. The bitrate may be too high for the player,  i have streamed 40Mbit video to it without problems.  The key is it must have a good connection to the data. If it is a network make sure it can get full bandwidth. If it is a hard drive over usb make sure the drive is working properly and the files are not fragmented.

Hmmm.   It *does* look like a bad encode.

The WDTV won’t do this if it’s choked for bandwidth; it’ll just pause and stutter. 

If you  bring that file up on your PC, do you see the same thing?

the movie is on hdd (transcend),i played it on the computer and it looks ok (i"m not sure if my laptop is HD,but when i played that movie there where no white dots like on wd tv,it looked ok)

Can you post the output of MediaInfo for one of those files so we can inspect that?
