as the subject says, what do you use to stream your media?
I use tversity, and found it brilliant throughout.

I have used both in the past, but just dont bother at all now.
I couldn't get my head around watching large AVI's through either, so have given it up as a fail.

When I get my arse back in gear I'll come bug you two for advice:)

just made the switch to p3smedia server, java based, fast as fuck encoding, even on my poxy celeron CPU.
I might just stick with this one as it does seem like a better product than tversity.

Downloaded PS3Server, seemed to work for about 20 mins of Wall-E this morning, then it started stuttering and pausing.

Went and upped the maximum bandwidth settings, but it still jumped around like a kid on a hot plate, so sod it. If I wanna watch films I'll watch them on ma pc or DVD/BD.

I tried doing that with the Xilisoft convertor and ImToo convertor, but the films were out of sync and unwatchable.

Have managed to copy some of my DVD's that I have and watch ok, but rips from other sources?? - Seems like I have nothing but shit ones.
:(
