The good behavior of the transcoder is dependant on many parameters. By default the application output a 5.1 channel video, so if you switch to stereo, the transcode will be a little faster. Try also to reduce the number of channels. If you stand between these two, you can adjust the video quality settings ('Transcoding Settings->Encoder settings') and test the examples provided in the drop down (you can also play with the parameters vqscale, vqmin, etc.) It's also recommended if you are on Windows, to try the AviSynth/Mencoder trancoding engine, as you could play your videos with CoreAVC, a fast H264 decoder (see Readme for instructions).

Actually a Core2Duo CPU is enough to transcode 1080p with default network/quality settings, but a P4 is the very low limit in order to play a 720p video. That's why, if after setting a fair value for your network, or if you are on a wired connection, stuttering still occurs, it may be caused by an old (or not shiny anymore ) CPU. Please also be advised that reducing the bitrate will stress even more your CPU. But you can set more or less, depends on the strength of your network. A value of 14, or 15 (in Mbits) is an average value for Wifi/CPL. You'll need to set a limit to the bandwidth used by the program, in the 'Transcoding Settings->Encoder settings ->Maximum Bandwidth' textbox. But if you are using default settings, and willing to play HD videos (or very, very good looking SD videos) on a WiFi/CPL connection, the stuttering is normal. For almost SD/DVD videos, transcode should be fine. The answer depends on the video type, your network configuration, and cpu power.
