I have an MKV file of "Milk" which originated from a BR disc.
The file 'breaks up' in VLC and Quicktime, sometimes freezing completely for a few seconds.
I have other BR rips (Twilight, Hancock, Eagle Eye..), which are between 4.5GB and 8GB each, and they don't have this problem when playing in QT, VLC or Front Row.
I ripped all the discs in exactly the same way - except with Milk (the problem file), I left all 3 sets of subtitles in with the conversion (this made it about 6.5GB overall)
So I thought maybe this was the reason QT and VLC had trouble dealing with the video, so I just converted it to a new MKV in HB, minus the subtitles - and still, the problem is there.
So now, I've turned my suspicions elsewhere. The only 2 main differences I can see in the QT information window are:
Could this be the cause of the problem? Below I've attached 2 information windows from QT, comparing the stats of Milk to Twilight, which plays flawlessly.
Any idea on how to fix this, I'd be very grateful as I hate using Front Row for one file.
Edit: Ignore the file sizes, I took screenshots while the files were loading in QT, thats why they're both only a few hundred MB each.

- The resolution is greater on 'Milk' than any other video
- For some reason, the Frame Rate jumps on 'Milk' from 16 FPS to over 327 (see attached)
