Hi everyone.
My problem is with 720p HD .mp4 files which i have converted from .mkv using GotSent. The files have been converted perfectly fine and run just fine on my PC however there is a problem playing these .mp4 files on my xbox 360. The video pauses every five seconds or so on the xbox 360 before continuing again.
I thought this may be a network problem as i have a wireless network and SD content plays OK so i decided to do a test. I placed the .mp4 file onto a USB storage device and plugged this into my xbox 360(thereby eliminating network shortcomings). However to my surprise the same problem still remains. I really don't know what to do now i have tried changing settings and stuff before i use gotsent but nothing has worked. I tried playing WMV HD 720p and 1080p files on my xbox 360 and they work just fine so i definetely know that the xbox 360 is not buggered. thanks. please reply soon.
EDIT: Here is the video details of one of the converted .mp4 videos using Mediainfo:

A simple way I use to determine the HD files streaming rate is first to find out the playtime of the file, say 1 hour. Then find the filesize of the file, say 350Mb.
1024Kb in a Mb so the file is 358,400Kb
3600 seconds in an hour 60*60
Now we have 358,400Kb movie thats 3,600 seconds long. It streams at 358,400/3,600 per second or 99.55Kb.
Total "X" KB / total "Y" seconds.
BTW I have that same router and all I seem to get wireless is about 881.5KBs per
second.
Wired I can stream 3.5 Gigabytes an hour. 1019Kbs
