I have a movie I tried watching using 30fps

Hi I have been using media share for about 4 years now and it has had it's problems but nothing major and I must say it has worked pretty good for me ever since I've been using a back up hard drive as the source instead of a computer it is pretty much flawless.  I have a video I been trying to watch that works perfect on a pc but when I put it on the network it freezes everything then says it cannot access my media.  I then have to reboot the receiver to watch video or listen to music via media share then it works perfect until I try that same video again then this process starts over again...Then only thing I noticed was that the frames per second on this video were 30 instead of the 24 or 25 I normally see and I was not sure if this was the problem.   I hope somebody can help me figure this out.

 

Thanks in advance

Videos will fail to play for three reasons.  They are the wrong format, they are too high a resolution and finally because some are just ornery.

 

There are any number of video conversion and joining softwares available that allow you to set the density of the finish product, including Windows Movie Maker.  The only problem with that program is that Mediashare will not play the output unless you are running a 3rd party server such as TVersity.
