What's wrong with the audio on my PS3 movies?

[ayatollaofrockinrolla]

I have my 1tb external harddrive usb2.0 connected to my PS3 to my flat screen for watching .avi movies.
95% of the movies are fine and no problems with lag or with video or audio.
But the other 5% (I downloaded legally) work and sound great on my desktop, but sound "garbeled" audio-wise when transfered to my external hd>PS3>falt screen for viewing. What's the problem?
