It is also available for mac on macupdates and runs on Leopard. I would try it and save $20. Sent from my iPhone PS3 Media Server works okay with the PS3 (v.1.10.5). I was using it on my PM G5 running leopard. I did notice that it had some difficulties with certain file formats and it didn't list some of the files I had. I switched to El Gato's Eye Connect and have been happy with it's performance. Also this program works well with both PS3 and my Sony Blu-Ray BDP370. One thing to remember is the PS3 will not play certain divx formats, the file may say .avi, but the PS3 will not play the sound. It's basically trial and error on which files it will play properly. The ones I couldn't play I've had to convert them to .mp4 in order for the PS3 to properly play it. I basically took half of my dvd collection and converted it to divx so I can just stream the video straight to my television. It's almost perfect. IMHO stay away from Media Link. I've had problems with it trying to stream my files to the PS3 and my blu-ray. I wish I had looked more closely into it before plunking down my $20. I use Handbrake to convert my files to .mp4 and Xilisoft's Video converter to convert to divx. One more thing, if you start to notice stuttering in your videos you can either copy the file to your PS3 hd and play it from there OR it could be a simple matter of turning off the media server program and turning it back on. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
