I'm getting a canon vixia m31 hd camcorder and trying to get my nas setup before I get it. Basically what I want to do is store all the videos on the nas without losing any video or sound quality (I assume the best way to do this is by storing in the original format). I've read that the sony play station 3 will stream avchd videos with no problem but I'm an xbox guy, so I'm wondering if my sony blu ray player will do the same thing? or perhaps even my Directv HR-24 receiver? Would this require the use of something like media tomb? Please excuse all the questions as I'm still new to all of this and everything is developing so quickly.

If your sony bluray is new enough (BDP 370, 470, 570 ...) then it has a DLNA client on it. However this is notoriously picky with formats over dlna, looks like it doesn't support it. Maybe they'll get better with some new firmware, but don't hold your breath
To do DLNA you need a dlna server on the dns323, this could be twonky, medatomb, minidlna (I've heard this works ok with sony).

Doesn't the xbox have some media streaming functionalty? XMBC on it or something? Maybe it can just pull stuff off samba?

mine is a bdp-s550 and from the messing around i did this weekend it doesn't support this. The hr-24 directv receiver can see the nas device but is only showing certain folders for some reason. How hard is it to get mediatomb up and running? My last try with getting something going on this nas was getting mpd setup and that was a pain in the but and i never ended up getting it working exactly like I wanted (could control it from my android phone but couldn't hear audio)

Try to avoid mediatomb as a DLNA server. It's not up to the task.

I installed minidlna with success though it did take a little bit of time to download and install minidlna's required libraries. Configuring minidlna was very easy. It is simple, fast, stable and uses less memory than mediatomb.

I now stream avi, mkv, etc. from my DNS-323 to a Samsung BD-C6500T (wireless) using a DIR-825 router. I'm very happy with the setup.
