What kind of speeds required for Bluray streaming from NAS?

[Christopher Martin]

I'm using a gigabit network (router/lan cards) to connect my NAS to my PC.

PC is an i7 2600K / NAS is a 5930k @ 4.2ghz with 32gb RAM.

I'd like some insight on how to test with Lan Speed Test, configuration of test, etc. and what results I should expect.

To test with LAN Speed Test you need at least a Windows PC and a network share. To test more robustly, you can ran LAN Speed Test server on one machine and the client on another.

Will it be straight out streaming of the blu-ray or will the host machine be trying to do some transcoding? Are you streaming to your PC or a TV? My experiences with blu-ray seem to indicate the client trying to process the file has more problems than any type of throughput.
