store vidio

[paxbellum]

hi everyone! i just bought a ps3, and i tried to put a downladed vidio on it via usb and it did not work.
so i was wondering what type of file i have to convert it to, my brother told me that i have to put ubuntu on it but i don't wanna go thru all that trubble
is there a way to put downladed movies directly on the ps3 os?

Depends what format the video is in, the PS3 only supports these video formats:

• Memory Stick Video Format
• - MPEG-4 SP (AAC LC)
• - H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Main Profile (AAC LC)
• MP4 file format
• - H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile (AAC LC)
• MPEG-1 (MPEG Audio Layer 2)
• MPEG-2 PS (MPEG2 Audio Layer 2, AAC LC, AC3(Dolby Digital), LPCM)
• MPEG-2 TS (MPEG2 Audio Layer 2)
• AVI (DivX/XviD)
• - Motion JPEG (Linear PCM)
• - Motion JPEG (μ-Law)
• AVCHD (.m2ts / .mts）
• VC-1 (WMV)

There might be more formats besides these, but these are the ones that I know for sure. Anything outside of these will either need to be converted with something like PS3Video9 or run through Linux. Hope this helps...

Thanx. I have tried avi files and they didn't work. i don't know if they are encoded in Divix or xvid though. I will try ps3video9. thanx again

Always remember that .avi is just a wrapper for the file and not a format as such. You are best doing as you say and just blasting anything that won't play with a dose of PS3video9!

ps3 vidio9 dident seem to work i converded a tv episode and put it on a usb memorystick and my playstation still dident reconize any titles

Well, if you're putting the video onto a memory stick, you have to create a folder in the memory stick called VIDEO
Just put the video in this folder and the PS3 should recognise it (assuming that its a playable format.)

i would look into a better video converter such as allok video to mp4, or apex video converter super.... i get very good quality from these two, and if you want to become really good at converting videos go to doom9.net (or .org idk) they have conversion guides for almost every format....

[paxbellum]

well, you've all been very helpful so far, i am proud to say that i can now watch downlaoded tv shows on my ps3, theres just one more little thing then I'll leave you all alone

right now i can only watch it from my usb...i can't figure out how to copy it directly onto the ps3

highlight the video you want to copy and press triangle. you should see copy. just press that and your sorted.
