Poor streaming connection/speed
ReadyNAS NV+ v2 WNDR4500 2 x Powerline AV500 Tvix N1 Network Player Hello. My first post at the ReadyNAS forum (previous Stora owner!). I hope someone can help me; I'm getting really frustra...
(a) Full BluRay requires about 60 mbits/s (7-8 MB/sec), and you are not getting that through your powerline network. A DVD requires 12 mbits (1.5 MB/sec) - which you are getting. So the powerline performance probably explains the stuttering. You can confirm that by taking the powerline out of the equation.
If you have an ethernet switch you can borrow, try moving the NAS to the twix, and connecting them to the temporary switch (also connect the powerline to the switch).
Or if you have a TV or digital monitor near a gigabit ethernet connection, you can move the twix...
(b) Probably best to sort out one problem at a time. If you want to set the twix playback issue aside for now, we can start on the 25 MB/s throughput issue.
BTW, your DVD files are compressed (mpeg-2 video, and likely dolby digital audio and/or DTS). All video is compressed, and most audio.
