Media
Mac users don't really have a lot of options in terms
of serving DivX media to their PS3s... at least not
like on Windows. Windows has the awesome and free
TVersity
application, which can send all sorts of movies to your
PS3 using DLNA.
So far, it seems that there aren't many apps that do a
good job of transcoding. Yeah, there are players out
there like
Twonky
and
EyeConnect, but I haven't really seen anything that
follows the "it just works" mantra of Mac software.
A little shop in Burlington, Ontario named NullRiver
has its own solution called
MediaLink
that is a fairly easy-to-use prefpane for a low price
of 20 bucks. Granted, it's still a little flaky, but
it's really easy to use and cheap.
If they can improve the stability of the app, and add
broader codec support (MKV anyone?), I tend to think
that NullRiver will have a killer app for those Mac
users who also have a PS3.
