MediaLink 1.72 (Mac OS X)

Could be fantastic, but it isn't!!!  

MediaLink 1.72 promised a lot and I looked forward to what was offered. Running the program from my MacBook Air (X 10.5) and through a 300mps router to my PS3 I expected great things. Upon installing the software it was really up to my intuition to figure how it functions. I found the program in 'systems preferences' at the bottom. Upon clicking the 'Start' button the MediaLink tab quickly appeared in my PS3 menus. Very impressive, I could browse through my Mac files easily... That's where it stops!!! Loading photos takes more than a moment and videos... bugger!!! The streaming video that was promised didn't deliver. Video would load and play, but it was broken and slow. I tried copying a 730mb .avi file to my PS3... what a waste of bloody time! If they cure these streaming problems then I will be very happy to lay my cash down, but until then I'll be waiting!!! Chop, chop! [alert admin]

Something worth noting!!!  

I have further experimented with the set up. Perviously I was working on the concept of being totally wireless. i.e. MAC to wireless router and then wirelessly connecting to PS3 from router. HOWEVER, the streaming issues are resolved if the PS3 is connected to the router via a ETHER CABLE. Not perfect but at lest it saves me the hassle of transferring movies and music to an external HD.
