What's the 'best' media renderer for UMS?

I don't know what is the best but I still use my ps3 but not the built in player. I use Movian which can play just about anything without transcoding. The main downside is that that for some formats (like h265) the ps3's CPU is not fast enough to decode in real-time, so they will have to be transcoded first. Which is the second downside as it doesn't handle a transcoded stream very well, being unable to FF/RWD and if you try it restarts from the beginning. However it is a vast improvement over the default player with support for subs and multiple audio tracks.

yes you do need CFW to install it, but its a good way to extend the life of the PS3 if you have another system.

PS3 works best with mencoder transcoding files, ffmpeg for me not working at all...
you can also change transcoding quality (mpeg2) from automatic to good, medium ect.

mencoder settings: av sync alternativ method = check (try uncheck when movie not in sync)
force framerate parsed ffmpeg = uncheck
