1. Store movies (AVI's, MPG's, MP4's) on an external (USB) hard drive.
2. Plug hard drive into Time Capsule.
3. Access the files over a wifi network via iTunes, Front Row, or Finder.
If the files are viewed with Finder, the frame rate is acceptable. Under iTunes or Front Row, the screen output freezes sporadically; so does the software itself.
The problem persists, even if the files are stored on the TC itself (not on the external drive).
Possible solutions:-
* AppleTV
* use a Mac Mini instead of the Time Capsule
* some other hardware-based media streamer
