Stuttering video in direct play HD content

I'm getting periodic video lag/stuttering only in this client app with HD video.  The server is on the same machine as the win 8 client app.  MBT is installed on the same machine and does not have the problem.  The video is playing back direct.  When it happens I can pause, wait a minute, and then unpause and it syncs back up for a while.  In a 22 minute show it will happen 1-3 times on average.  I've attached a screenshot of the media info for a sample file I used to reproduce this on win 8.1 last week:

 
Is anyone else getting similar issues and, if so, do you have a solution?

No one else?  This is the primary thing preventing me using this client so I'm hoping someone else has run into it.

Hi,

Can't say that I have had any problems with MP4's HD video. I don't usually rip HD to mp4, use mkv. But I made one to test. Not quite the same specs yours however. I used a blu-ray source and ripped with Handbrake using the High Quality defaults, Intel Quicksync transcoding and selected two audio tracks Dolby 5.1 and DTS.

 

That produced this

This plays fine on my system. Only way to introduce stuttering was aggressive use of seek, I jumped to 3/4 and then back. That didn't work so well. 

Normal pause, resume, seek in smaller chunks seemed fine. Maybe not much help as specs are a little different. Is your example a 1:1 rip?

Dunno what you mean by 1:1 rip.  All my discs get ripped to mkv with the tracks I will use and are then converted to mp4.  Forced subs are burned in, the best audio track is passed through, and a second audio track is created by converting a copy of the best track to equivalent aac.  The result is encoded with qsv encoding at reference level 20 for blu ray.

Hi,

not sure myself was just trying explain slightly different specs. It sounds like I pretty much do what you do. Have heard others mention 1:1 rips and thought maybe that was the difference. Was going to ask you... :)  

 

Anyway bottom line I don't seem to be having problems with mp4's. Sorry I couldn't be of much help. Probably need someone more experienced with formats.
