I took one of these files and converted it to mpg, at a file size of about 1gb. This file streamed perfectly.
Would appreciate knowing why I might be having problems with large HD files.
Hi Bill.
It seems like a slow lan speed problem or slow disk read speeds. When you converted the file to mpg (1/7th of the initial size), the bits/sec dropped by a factor of x7 and you could see the movies.
See if you have a fast LAN connection, no interrupt problems (LAN card using the same IRQ as another item) and look for disk read / write speeds. Look to the CPU usage page and see if the box is not too slow /old (but this factor is less probable)
