You will *never* be able to stream DVD over WLAN, unless you transcode 
the 8Mbps video stream into a lower quality stream.

A WLAN has a max of 11Mbps, which fact means that you may call yourself 
lucky if you can get a sustained bandwidth of about 5Mbps on a good day. 
   WLAN is very subjective to environment noice, line of sight, room 
temperature and moister in the air. If trying to transcode, then a lower 
quality stream of 1-2 Mbps will always work when you have signal.
