Hi,

I have just bought a bluray drive for my pc for the use of 'ahem' playing blurays.

I also found this really useful feature in makemkv that enables you to stream the disk in the drive.

I tried this out on my wireless system and it ran very badly, so I have now installed a cat 5 cable betwenn my pc and the router.

It runs a lot better but I am still getting slightly jerky playback and sound dropouts. The network is well within spec, the cpu is under no real strain, but the memory is running at about 85% (2gb of RAM)

Would increasing my RAM size to 4gb make any difference, or am I trying to do the impossible?

The test bluray is the new star trek film.

Cheers,

Rob Owen

The reason for dropouts is likely not the network, but the "seamless joins". Many discs have titles that are made of multiple "segments". When producing MKV files, MakeMKV takes a great deal of effort to join all segments properly. But when streaming, it just concatenates all files and sends them to the player - it's vey likely that PS3 just can't join the segments without the noticeable hiccup.
