I've installed Fuppes on an old G4 800Mhz machine, running 10.4. ÿRuns very well. ÿEven transcodes without any juddering which I wasn't expecting on such a slow machine. ÿWhilst Fuppes can be installedÿrelativelyÿeasily just to act as a media server (serving the files, no transcoding, so the files have to be natively playable by your PS3) it isn't the easiest thing in the world to setup to transcode. You need to be reasonably confident on the commandline. ÿHowever, it's free, opensource and fiddly-footling is half of the fun for me!
ÿBTW...using your mac, you don't actually need a media server installed for the PS3 to see the video files, you can use the mac's built-in web server. ÿThough this, again, doesn't do transcoding so only works for files that will play natively on the PS3. ÿIf you stick your files in the "Sites" folder with no index.html file there (they can be in sub-folders if you want to keep them nicely organised) and turn on "Personal Web Server"; then use the web browser built into the PS3 to ÿnavigate to your server (I have it as a bookmark so I only had to type it in once), you can access all your video files that way. ÿDoesn't look as pretty as a media server in the PS3's cross-bar thingy, but plays the files a treat.ÿ
