Can’t play AVI with high bitrate on Samsung TV

I can play a film (avi, Mpeg4, bitrate 4.06MB) on Samsung TV via dnla without issue. It’ll start with about 5-10 seconds. However, when attempting to play the same film through Samsung tv with ds video app fails with “cannot connect to disk station” message), Avi films with lower bitrates play fine in the same amount of time (avi mpeg4 bitrate 1.44MB) as do mkv files with higher bitrates (mkv, h264, bitrate 4.96MB). Do you know if there any settings I can tweak to get these avi’s with higher bitrates to play please?
