You probably will have to convert it to a different filetype, most likely .avi.

Connect your PS3 to internt and update softwere. I think new firmwere supports mkv
Answer #5
^ no it doesn’t….
like said use mkv2vob, its probably the best way to play mkvs right now on a ps3… or just hook up you computer straight to you TV if they support a hdmi or dvi connection.

Answer #8
thanks for all the help, but how would I run it, i dont have wifi fast enough to stream, can i ftp/ssh the file onto the ps3 hdd? or usb or anything.
also;if i could plug the hdmi into the tv from my pc, it still wouldnt work as my gpu overheats and my old core2duo cant handle it.
Answer #9
Just use the program provided a few posts up and copy the converted file to a memory key or hardrive and then plug it into your ps3 and play it from the removable disk!
Answer #10
i read somewhere that the ps3 hdd is formatted in fat32, if so wont there be a 4gb file size limit?
Answer #11
What you could do is try downloading a extraction software for matroska files…I found out about this like few days ago… Just try extracting the files from the MKV files … probably would get VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS …and then burn it to the dvd and you’re good…
But unless the files are huge ….and wouldnt fit on the dvd…this only works on small files that would fit on a dvd…
