I'll second that. In my experience as well, the current crop of wireless protocols just can't cut it with regards to streaming videos. If you expect seamless streaming of video files using wireless then you'll be sorely disappointed.

How can this be, when DVD video averages 6-8 mbps? You'd think wireless would be more than enough to transfer that.

Yeah, you would think. But from my experiences, it just didn't work very well. Perhaps other people out there are having better results than I have.
I would bet it has less to do with bandwidth and more to do with signal drop out.
