Default Streaming from NAS with Apple TV

On a whim, I decided to see if there was an App that would allow me to access my NAS via the Apple TV. Quickly I found VLC, a free media player that seems to play everything.

In a snap I was perusing my NAS directory and choosing videos to play. It is there I found some oddities.

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.
