I love the easy ones.  :)

The issue with Video2 is most likely:

Format settings, GMC        : 3 warppoints

That’s “Global Motion Compensation.”  

The WD Specs indicate “MPEG4.2 ASP@L5 up to 1280x720p30 resolution and no support for global motion compensation.”

You’ll need to re-encode that with GMC turned OFF.
