CONVERTING MOVIES TO PS3

I just recently got a PS3 and I’m trying to watch movies on it using my 2 GIG Flash Drive to transfer the files. My PS3 is not reading any of the file formats so I’m wondering if there’s a program I have to use to have the PS3 read the video? Any help is appreciated thank you.

Use PS3 Media Sever to stream straight from your computer.

Answer #3
or Use TVersity
Answer #4
Dont use PS3 Media Sever or TVersity as they will waste your cpu cycles uneccesserly, Mux once with MKV2Vob and enjoy your files on any device or OS.
Answer #5
windows media player 11+ will also do the trick for you, however you’re limited to what file type/codecs that you are capable of streaming.
You might also see what codec you’re using. I haven’t had a ps3 in sometime now, but when i had mine I found it’s support for decoding was rather limited. Mostly divx, xvid.. etc etc.
Answer #6
I gave up with the usb stick and just burn em to disc if i have to or use the xbox, other thing to do is transfur the film to the ps3 harddrive in avi format or summit simple.
Answer #7
You can watch them (.avi’s) from a USB stick but when you go in the menu you have to select other media.
