...I use MediaTomb to stream audio and video to my PS3. Streams
full HD video just fine, but may not do what you want.

On the server side, you just point it at a directory full
of videos. It has a basic web interface for configuration.

On the client side, you'd need something that supports UPNP
media servers. The PS3 just picks it up automatically, not
sure if media players on Windows will do the same, or whether
you can feed them an URL to it.
