Meaning?
R2 games are not playable?
My Console is not compatible?

Hi,

I'm planning to get a PS3, problem is, I might be getting a 24 inch LCD monitor to play, and audio will be using a pair of headphone. I know the HDMI won't be an issue, but any suggestion on the audio? Because I know the PS3 doesn't have a simple 3.5mm jack. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey peeps!, i just bought PS3slim (w00t!  ) finally.

I was wondering do i need to charge my new DS3 for like 8hrs?.. u know like when u just gotten new mobilephone, need to charge like 8hrs before use rite?..

Thanks in advanced for those who replied.

Cheers

Hi guys,

PLEASE SHARE THE IDEA ON HOWTO PLAY RM/RMVB FILES ON PS3 SLIM...ANY EXPERT KNOWS ABOUT THIS?

Erm...where can i get non usb hsdpa modem (possible?)? coz i want to connect ps3 directly to modem coz my wife laptop not always at home..

Too xpensive...rm999...
need to try another option la like that...

Guys i got a question to ask, i'm planning to buy a PS3 before FFXIII releast, but recently i heard that PS3 250 GB is coming to Malaysia, some of the PS3 owner said that no need to wait the 250GB model because you can change the HDD by yourself without void the Sony official warrenty. Is that truth, and what is the max GB PS3 supported?

i just bought a new Samsung LA-32B550 which support Full HD.

And based on my previous post, i also bought a cap ayam HDMI cable worth Rm39 from Carrefour. Yesterday i try to test to connect it to my new TV, dunno why the pics is suddenly blackout, and suddenly show the pic again, and the it blackout again..wired, that looks like something wrong..

So wondering is it becoz of the cheap brand HDMI cable?

for your information, i'm using my new PS3 Slim and when first time connect via HDMI cable to the TV, i enable and tick all display option available (576i, 720p, 1080i & 1080P), at first the pic is stunning, then after awhile it show the above funny pics..

Any sifus here minds to teach a noob like me what happen? coz i thought cheap HDMI cable is at no diff with branded HDMI cable, or perhaps i do something wrong?

Wow i didn't know that TV also got firmware update like PS3 So how to update? save it in USB drive then plug in TV to update?

Want to ask if there is external cooling fan kit for PS3 Slim like the one for PS2 slim. I'm planning to get PS3 soon. Been reading about PS3 slim overheating and yellow light of death (one reviewer on Amazon claim that his unit exploded. I don't believe, but still a bit scared) and want to know if there are preventive measures like fans for the console. If got, where to buy.

firmware 3.10 confirmed next week. facebook integrated lol

ps3 can support .mkv file? from the manual it doesnt say, so the answer is no?

How to demux the MKV, and remux it back to MP4 - aiman04

It's been 2 weeks of extensive research about PS3 for me. Found a software that can extract AVC.h264, convert the audio only, and remux to create a .MP4 files from my .MKV HD videos (even splitting the file at 4GB if it's too big, PS3 have problems for videos >4GB playback, plus FAT can only store 4GB each file). If anyone wants it, you can get it here, http://sentry23.googlepages.com/. The software is fast, about 10 minute for a 3 GB video. This because it doesn't do any converting to the video because it's already in AVC.h264 format, it only remuxes it to the .MP4 container so that PS3 recognizes it . But it mostly works with 720p videos only, even though some 1080p can be successful too.
Now I'm going ahead to upgrade my HDD, maybe get a 5400rpm to be safe. Swissknife, I'll google that.

About video playback? YES, we can play videos at its native 720p resolution, even 1080p.

I found two programs that are quite reliable to do it. I'll try to write about it a little bit. Might miss something, as I'm writing from my memory.

Can convert almost any video files to PS3 video formats. But converting big and long vidoes will take a very long time for HD videos at 720p or 1080p.

So they also provide a profile to extract AVC.h264 video and it's audio (it will convert the audio only if needed) from .MKV or .MOV (Quicktime) files, and then remux the video and audio together again, but this time into an MPEG-4 video container that is .MP4. This will take only about 1 minute for file that will take 50 minutes if you do the normal conversion. To use this don't use the wizard, but use the "current conversion" tab instead.

MKV file - Select "MKV Passthrough" method.
720p - Works 50% of the time.
1080p - Never work for me.

MOV file - Select "Quicktime HD MOV Passthrough" method.
720p - Works 95% of the time.
1080p - Works 95% of the time.

I still use this program to convert HD movie trailers from http://www.apple.com/trailers/#section=justhd which you can get 1080p trailers with awesome picture quality. And PS3 will play it that same native 1080p resolution!

If you don't already have it, you'll also need these two filters:

AC3Filter Haali Media splitter

AC3Filter
http://ac3filter.net/project/1/releases

Doesn't do any conversion, only remuxes .MKV files to MPEG-4 video format for PS3. Very fast.

Just browse for your .MKV file, it will extract AVC.h264 video and it's audio (it will also convert the audio only if needed) from the .MKV file, and then remux the video and audio together again, into an MPEG-4 video container that is .MP4. This also take only about 1 minute for file that will take 50 minutes if you do the normal conversion.

Plus one extra feature, it can split your video at 4GB if it's bigger than that, because of 2 things. First, if you transfer the file using USB external FAT32 HDD, you can only put files no bigger than 4GB, second, I read reports saying that PS3 has troubles playing videos bigger than 4GB.

MKV file only.
720p - Works all the time.
1080p - Never work for me, but can be successful for high profile h264 videos.

Really reliable for .MKV files. I have download a certain 7.5GB .MKV 143 minutes video with 720p resolution, used this program to remux it, took about 15 minutes. The video was split to two 3.6GB .MP4 files. Transfered using my USB HDD, and the video played gorgeously at 720p resolution!
Download the latest version here:

The GOTSent program is for MKV videos only. It is really easy. Just browse for your file, set destination folder, leave everything as default, and click convert.

Maybe you need to install these first:

My method here doesn't change the video resolution, frame rate, etc at all. It just take it as it is and put it into an MPEG-4 container. So the picture quality remains as awesome. Hope you get it to work.
Added on

The mkv file must use either AC3 or DTS (will be auto transcoded to AC3) audio not AAC. What the remux process does is, taking out the audio and video from the mkv container and put them into the vob container which PS3 supports.

For 1080p source the whole video will be trancoded into MPEG2 codec and the final file size will be bigger but the picture quality remains. For instance an 8GB of 1080p source will be 10GB after the transcoding process and it will take a while, depends how powerful your PC is.

The best part is all the vob files regardless the size can be transferred to PS3 HDD via network. So don't need to burn into a DVDR or split those big files to fit into those FAT32 external devices which have 4GB size limitation.

Q) hmm...is it possible to play video files larger than 2Gb and formats other than .avi..? must install linux er?
A)yes you can playback file larger than 2GB other than avi like mkv files but you must remux it into a vob or trancode/convert it into mpeg2 and transfer it via network to PS3 hdd....

Remux mkv into vob :-

Pros
- Only take 15-20mins.
- file size remains the same.
- picture quality remains like the original source.

Cons
- you can't ff/rw while playback.
- you can't stop in the middle and continue, once you stop, you must Play it from the beginning. You can only Pause the video.

Transcode/Convert into MPEG2

Pros
- you can ff/rw, stop in the middle and continue.
- picture quality remains like the original source.

Cons
- takes a longer time, 3-5 hours of transcoding (depends on the file size and how powerful your PC is).
- the file size will be almost double from the original file. - tot31

Newbie here.Just want to ask can i use HDMI as my video output and the AV as my audio output??Because i scare the LCD monitor i buy the speaker not loud enough.

I don't mind paying more for better quality, but the thing is, PSN cards are not readily available at all times, and some people just do not have credit cards (and this doesn't just apply to students; there are a few adults who don't have credit cards).

But by making PSN no longer free, Sony might end up losing some support from certain devs, who like the free PSN (e.g. Criterion Games).

Also, those people who previously avoided the 360 due to Live being a paid service would reconsider.

By making PSN free, Sony has given gamers (especially those in lower-earning countries) one more reason to buy a PS3 and to support the ori industry. Making us pay for it would also undoubtedly piss off quite a number of people.

why do you wanna delete your save games?

i dont think it does affect trophy status since there are many people who have had their ps3 go bonkers on them and the trophy still stays put in sony's servers.
