I just recently purchased the airport extreme 'n' and the only reason I bought it was to watch movies that I have on my WD hard drive without having to plug the HD directly into my macbook. I want to be able to take my macbook out into the living room (10ft away from AE) and hook up to tv or just sit anywhere and stream those videos.
The problem I have is that when I go to watch the movies using front row, itunes, or quicktime I get very bad results. The video is very choppy or most of the time front row will freeze when I am searching through the movies I have.
All the movies I have are mp4 format. Is there a way to lower the total bit rate? will that even help?
Does the internet connection have anything to do with my ability to stream video from my HD? My next door neighbor lets me bum off of his wireless (college student) so it is not very good but good enough to do basic surfing. If he has 'g' will this slow down my 'n' streaming capabilities?
very frustrated anything will help
