Hello!

So, I have some home movies that are choppy on playback and some that are not.

The ones that are choppy are recorded at 100Mbps 4K.

The ones that plays just fine are recorded at 60Mbps 4K.

My machine has an i5-4440 Haswell Quad-core 3.1GHz (This might be the issue, just need confirmation)

Video info (Choppy):

Your cpu might be the issue, because it has no support for hardware transcoding of HEVC streams.

However, this only is important if you are using a Plex client or bandwidth settings which require transcoding.

  • So, which type of Plex client are you using?
  • Are you using a Plex server in the local network?
  • Is your Plex client connected wireless or wired to the server?
  • Are you using subtitles?

Thank you, For You help on this. I assume the worst; the CPU needs an upgrade.

You might be right in this case.

Update!!!

Last night I took my media files to a friend and we found that pinnacle’s default settings for export was a frame rate of 25 not 24. Once I changed it and exported my home movies worked good! and the quality was perfect still.

** I still think I need an upgrade to my hardware but, not until I have more money**
