That's impressive because i've not seen reports of anybody else playing 1080p reliably over wireless G. | |

Well Transformers in 1080p is 13gb, and that plays without any issues. I just have the cache set to 8Mb for the media player, otherwise there is the odd bit of stutter. code: (there should be no space after the colon on display ie :0.1) [Edited on 23-04-2009 by PaulW] | |

How big are the files, I can't stream 1080p flawlessly over 802.11g. | |

I have no issues streaming HD files (upto 16Gb MKV files) over wifi at home, nor do I have any issues playing 1080p files on the laptop that way... | |

They are, and they have both, but I already had the converter to hand so didnt bother getting a new one. | |

Quality is good imo once you mess with the size settings and get it looking good on the TV. | |

Anyway, to answer your question....I use a mini-DVI to S-video convertor, and then a 3.5 jack to 3.5 jack for sound. | |

John - I know you werent, was pointing out Laptops just arent the best for streaming HD files. Even my old (well 4 years ish) struggles to stream a 4gb HD file at times. | |

I have a MacBook which is a pretty cool bit of kit. However, i'm now wanting to use the machine mainly for HD video streaming and run many geeky videos. |
