Yep, definitely TVersity. They work together brilliantly and buffering solely takes a few second.
Google and download Mediatomb, a free and quick streaming program. When you start it up, salary attention to what it says its port number is, afterwards open your pattern browser and type in your pc's make friends address (192.168.0.x:portnumber) with that port number at the lapse. You'll enter the Mediatomb control screen. There you hold the option of choosing anything you want on your pc's easier said than done drive to be streamed over your network. If you so choose, you can kind your entire hard drive available. You don't enjoy to pick and stream things one at a time, you simply add folders to the "available to stream" inventory.
Then go to the ps3, move about to video, scroll up and hit x on the Mediatomb icon, and you will enter the folder tree of everything that you made available on your pc's not easy drive. You can browse around all the available folders, select any video and play it. Essentially, Mediatomb uses streaming to create a direct file-sharing system between your workstation and your ps3.
The downside is some stuff comes up as "unsupported data." At lowest, it does for me. Might work better for you.
I use Nero MediaHome as I already have Nero Burning Software on my PC.
Run software..Tell it which folders to share from your Laptop/PC....Start running server on Laptop/PC.
On PS3 - furrow for Media Servers.They will connect.
Stream to your hearts content...As long as it is within a format the PS3 can play you will be able to play it.
