Hi! I’m having problems playing remuxed blu-rays. It freezes after a while. Time is random and only way is to unplug power on wdtv. When I play it again i can go back to where it freezed but after a while it freezes again. Never had any problem with Bluray.x264 or even untouched blu-ray. My firmware is the latest. Any tips? Tried different files. Here’s the info:

Why don’t you post a “Proper”  MediaInfo output log file ? 

(there’s a few things that could be cause of your woes … but your “Info” does not  provide enough details)
