Lucky for me, since I’m running Windows 7 RTM, I found out that Window Media Player 12, support the m2ts HD file format for streaming to my PS3. In the past, I always used Tversity, Twonky Media, etc. But the days of that are gone my friends. Overall, didn’t find any issues in streaming HD content, looked just as good, and hey, it’s free. No more searching on warez-bb.org or anything.
Now, one thing that always helps is having a 1000mb connection from my box to the PS3. Having this, no matter what program you’re using to stream, really cuts down on any buffering issues you might see, when compared to streaming the same video or wireless, or even a 100mb connection.
