I'm confused. Why not just load up XBMC and skip the transcoding all together? A halfway decent system will play 1080p @ 30fps with no issue.

As far as the Nook and Roku, both should support DLNA with minimal modification (though personally I believe the Roku box is a waste of effort).

Depending on the Cellphone, there are a few options for streaming... but you would need to specify which platform


For what it's worth I personally have an HTPC (XBMC) hooked up in the living room connected to a Linux NAS over ethernet (super easy). Twonky is optional to run and will support any DLNA compliant devices.
