I too have noticed strange differences when replaying video files which should have had almost identical metadata. BTW I use the default settings on the Windows PVR all of the time. I always use VLC to playback downloads. Recently I have downloaded two programmes - one payed smoothly with well sync'd audio - the other was 'jerky' with well out of sync'd audio. I shall have to look at the properties. CJB
