using mac pro as media server for ps3

According to sonys new firmware update 1.80 it will allow for streaming of music/movies/pictures from my mac. "The PS3 is now able to stream video, audio, and photo files from PCs and other DLNA-enabled storage devices (such as the Buffalo LinkStation NAS drive) on a home network."

My question is what do I need to do in order to get this working with my mac pro? I havent tried anything yet but im trying to get a head start by starting here first 🙂

I got Video to Work! Both H.264 and Divx!

Running a virtual instance of XP on a dedicated Ethernet Inteface under Parallels on a Mac Pro 2.66 GHz Dual Core Dual Processor Intel Xeon system.

Using rev 802 of ffdshow and TVersity's latest DLNA server release with their latest Sony V2 patch (no other codecs or packages installed)

Works beautifully 🙂
(happy Mac person!)

All my handbrake iPod AVC files stream and display natively on the PS3 and my XVID/DivX stream and transcode (realtime!) very nicely.

My next goal is MKV but still extremely happy even if I don't get that working.

TVersity is the only DLNA server I know that has support for streaming AVC to the PS3 (twonkyvision and others do not)
