Default Streaming from NAS with Apple TV

The setup plays my ripped BluRay discs easily. Clear picture and sound with zero stuttering.

However, when trying to play some of my GoPro video from my races or any DVDs, they all skip, pause and stutter like crazy.

Why would that be??? BluRays have far more data than my DVD tips... WiFi signal is very strong. Is there another media player that would work better than VLC and available for Apple TV???

System is:

- Synology NAS upstairs connected to my Router

Downstairs
- Apple TV connected via WiFi to my Router
- Plasma TV connected to Apple TV via HDMI
- Optical Digital Out from TV to my Lexicon MC1.


Have you tried Plex?
Plex May even have an app that you can install in your NAS. It will play movies and audio.
