Video jitter over ps3 video stream

Hi,

i am streaming HD video over to my PS3. I have a gigbyte ethernet and my ps3 is wired. when i start to play my video they start of fine but 10 mins or so in they begin to jitter i have to stop the video and play it to get it to stop but then it starts back up again. What do i need to do to fix this.

It sounds like you may be using a large number of reference frames in your files. Could you paste a (full) mediainfo log on one of the videos so I can see how you encoded the file?
