How do I share large video files over iTunes?
Question: I use two Macs and two PC's on my wireless network. I can stream video via iTunes from Mac to Mac via iTunes sharing but when streaming Mac to PC I can only stream videos of small size (ie Video podcasts, music vids and Tv shows less than 25minutes duration). Episodes of Lost, Heroes, 24 and full movies do not work...nothing happens.
Music shares OK to PC and video shares OK Mac to Mac. The Videos can be viewed Ok when transferred over manually and played outside of iTunes. All codecs are up to date.
Mac osx 10.4.9 & 10.3.9
Windows XP with full updates.
Newest version of iTunes on all machines.
Thanks for any help. Checked on the Apple.com forum but people there with the same problem but no answers!
Answer:
I feel your pain! I think the problem is that you're going wireless over an unnamed router.
it could be the router! Have you tried putting the 'hosting' machine on wired ethernet?
