2012 E550 DVD Player, skipping and running choppy

Hello,
I am seeing if anyone knows how to make the dvd player play videos correctly. I have tried plenty of movies and they won't play correctly. Is there a certain video resolution, bitrate, or frame rate that it has to be at? Or what can the problem be? Does it have to be burned a certain way?

post also in the w212 non amg forum - you'll get more traction .

have you tried original dvds like store bought dvds and it's giving you the same issue? Or just burned content (.iso files)

how do cd's play - issues with skipping?

is this a new or new to you issue (just bought the car?)

I have tried both, the store bought and burned iso files will skip and run choppy. I just got the car a month ago and trying to figure out what the issue is.
