I have noticed that some movies (HEVC notably) have an issue where they stutter, its not super bad but definitely drives me crazy and I cant figure out why. If I force it to transcode the stutter goes away, but I presume thats because it transcodes into h264 and no longer in HEVC. This doesn’t happen with everything though so it must be something specific about the encoding.
Here is the media info of the video file:
