    Videos stutter when played directly from the AFP server, regardless of the client or the connection. During playback in VLC, Quicktime Player, or MPlayer, the video will randomly pause for a fraction of a second, then resume as normal.

    Man I’ve tried everything I can think of. At this point, the client and the server both have a fresh install of 10.4.8 with nothing goofy installed at all. They’re connected back-to-back via ethernet. Neither CPU is breaking a sweat.

    The videos are nothing unusual, just mpeg-4, at about 1000 kilobits/sec.

    Playing the same videos from the local HD works great. In fact, I can start a video copying from the server onto the local HD and open the incomplete file, and it plays fine.

    Am I expecting too much from AFP?
