Thanks - interesting results. It shows that these wireless dongles and the Pi Hardware/drivers can play BluRay video over wifi.
Obviously 3 feet isn't a very useful distance (I'd recommend a cable...)
It would be useful if you could test in the next room for example. Useful to know if it is a little worse or a lot worse.
I think it makes sense that you ~ halve your speed when the data is going through two wireless connections.
For half the time the Pi can't effectively use wifi as the laptop/router is transmitting.
