Hello,
I have configured a multicast reflector on C7604. It translates destination multicast->multicast.
Unfortunatelly the quality of translated video traffic is poor. The same traffic goes through router at the same incomming ant outgoing interface, but only original movie goes correctly.
On the top of the windows you can see multicast destinations addresses. It differs in 3rd octet - this is what translation does.
The router's configuration is following: (only related parts)
!
ip multicast-routing

vlan 10
!
interface GigabitEthernet2/2
description multicast source interface
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10

There is totally no cpu load, this router stays out of any additional traffic. So what cause the problem?
Interesting is, that corrupted frames are noticed on receiver software, but outgoing interface is clear:
