for a dedicated dlna client for OS X; ppc or intel. I'm desperate. Anyone know of a solid dedicated UPnP/DLNA *client*? I say dedicated because I've tried VLC and don't really like it for that purpose. This will run on 10.5.8, if you know of an intel app, that will be good for research as well.

Is the firewire 800 link separate from 400? System profiler only states up to 800 Mb/sec and then only after much wheel winding. Maybe a 6-9 cable will get me firewire? If the problem is with the 400 port, then the 800 might work. Since a 400-to-800 FW cable should be relatively cheap
