Regarding #2, the PS3 can surf any DLNA server on the network. Coherence seems to be the most popular free one not counting WMC.

It still plays in its own player, though, so you'll probably have the good 'ol codec hell that you are used to with WMC. I think that limits you to MP2 and MP4

I have Nero Media Home, which got bundled with some other Nero stuff I bought. It supposedly transcodes any format it can read into the necessary format for delivery to the PS3 on demand. But, I haven't really f'ed around with it at all.
