Never trust the bitrate what PS3 shows. Check it in PMS. When PS3 is under-buffered with data it can show misleading values like 250Mbit etc. which is impossible on WIFI or 100Mbit network.

Yes, I already reported it to SubJunk as a bug when spotted it in more recent PMS/UMS versions
Don't have time to check myself right now

E.g. using 2-3 renderers on 32bit system with 400MB buffer size leads to crash sometimes because also with 16GB of RAM in 32bit system, JAVA ...

People are using it almost from the beginning of PMS, also mentioned in forum and on other places many times...and also mentioned (by me) that it can't detect all renderers...like my Panasonic TV

Yes. If renderer support it, you can go to TRANSCODE folder and choose alternative without any engine like MEncoder/FFMpeg etc. It means in most cases [No Encoding] option. If file is H264 (MKV/MP4 etc.) which your renderer doesn't support, you can try to remux them to .ts/.m2ts files with tsMuxeR e...

Hi guys 8-) Glad to see you again...found little time so I had time to register. About MovieInfo, try to disable IMDB engine and use CSFD only.
