I don't think it's doing any transcoding... I ripped a DVD myself with Handbrake to H.264 MP4. I could be wrong though, but I thought it supported that format natively.
I'm trying it with a PS3. I have a friend who very highly recommended to me a Chromecast, which evidently will run Plex. I'll look into that a little more, and go that route if it looks good. Whether the PS3 works fine or not isn't a huge issue, but it would be a nice solution we already have for streaming to the other room.
my point about the android player was more along the lines of not needing a PC's CPU power to do the playback. the android players support USB storage, online, local (USB) and remote (LAN) playback - you can connect to a PC's shares if you want, or you can just copy the files over and not need that PC to be running. plex requires a high powered machine at all times.
