I do it wirelessly. From the PC to the Router it is hardwired, but from the Router to PS3 [newest Nov firmware] it stutters a little and then plays back... it stutters a little every now and then for a few seconds and then carry on playing. Strangely for some MP4 it plays back with no stuttering while others will exhibit this problems... Will getting a new Dir 855 solve this problems. I am not using a Dlink PCI or PCIe Card. I use the built in motherboard Gigabit Realtek [almost all mobos use realtek in some form or fashion now] connection. I tried this settings made by someone here but it still stutters. Advise/ suggestions? Strangely some AVI plays with no stuttering problem even it is a 4GB file while some with 1.4gb avi have problems... so I am unable to know exactly which format plays truly better than others. Same goes for Mp4 formats.. small size files generally give problems while larger file size has no issues... or at least very minimized.

Take it from me, I'm a video geek when it comes to streaming video to my Xbox 360 and PS3 (mostly PS3 lately). I use TVersity to wirelessly stream everything to my PS3 and some files are quite large at over 6gb. I've had problems with some videos like you describe and I'll tell you it's not a problem with your network. It's likely the file container that's causing the problems. The PS3 is really picky with what it wants to play even when it's a supported format.

Look up how to remux your MP4 into a M2TS and you'll be all right. While you're at it repack your stuttering AVIs with AVImux_gui and tell me if that helps.

I assume you're streaming these files.  I too have had issues with mp4.  When you comment that the smaller files have more problems, that may point to the compression types that are being used.  The previous poster suggesting Tversity is correct, this helps considerably.  As an alternative, try PS3 Media Server.  I find this a better solution, as it can handle more formats.  With MP4, I find I sometimes have to specify a different transcode engine in order for it to play.
