I've used mediatomb fairly regularly.  I stream to my ps3 and it works quite
well but it is quite picky about format of the video.  Check to make sure
yours meets the specs.  I don't know of anything that does transcoding
"on-demand" if I understand your desires correctly.  The video must be in
the correct format to be streamed.  Finding the "correct format" required
trial and error and a lot of time.  I suggest splitting off like 30 secs of
a file and getting that work.  After that, you can re-encode the files you
want streamed.
