The movie pauses every few minutes for about 3 seconds. I'm asumming to rebuffer the stream. But I know the network can handle more than the stream's demanding because when I actually copy the movie over to the Mac's drive, it copies the whole thing in about 20 seconds.
  
  
  
  Is there a way to increase the transfer rate so the stream is fluid? Thanks in advance.
  

  
  

  
  
  Your totally in wrong forum. If you look at the top it says this is Future Hardware, you need to post this in something like applications, genius bar, or general discussions.

  You are the OP. This isn't IRC

  Go to preferences-->Stream Output-->Access Output-->UDP and change the caching value to 5000(ms) that will cache 5 seconds worth of stream then see how that goes. It means when you pause it wont happen for 5 secs :-P I am pretty sure that is the one, I am at work so it is a quick looksey.
  
  
  
  p.s. you need to hit the 'Advanced' checkbox down the bottom.
