That does not make sense. Some more details may help others help you :)
It sounds as if your frontend can play MPEG-4 ASP (DivX) but not MPEG-2 
video at the same resolution?
Are you converting HD MPEG-2 to SD MPEG-4 ASP?
Is that frontend connected via a slow WiFi and the reduced bandwidth 
requirements make it work?
Are you using hardware or software video decoding? (and what deinterlacer)
