Hello Mr. Ushman,
I understand that the Pro supports DLNA but I heard that wasn't the best way to go. I thought the PS3 could directly read and decode the various file formats. Now it sounds like there are two extra steps:
1. Enable an "extra" protocol on the PRO otherwise unneeded.
2. Then even with a normal rip file structure, and with the protocol enabled, another step is needed, RipBot264??
Do the PCH models work directly with the files without the extra RipBot264 step?
Isn't the "real" transfer rate for HD video about 45-60mbs? Doesn't a "N" wireless do about 100mbs?
Either way, I wasn't going to count on it so I ordered a 50' CAT6 cable to get from the switch to the second home theater and another one for the PS3 which is currently connected via wireless, although I haven't used the network features of the PS3 other than it did an update when I set it up.
I have only played a couple DVDs on the PS3 and don't know what else I will use it for if it doesn't easily access my video.
Thanks for all the help.... It is such a nuisance to jump into several new technologies at once, not having a clue about any of them.
