Another way is to use media server. I always copy my 8GB files to my PS3's harddisk this way. The PS3"s harddisk is not FAT32, only the external USB drives connected to it must be FAT32, hence the 4GB limitation. biggrin.gif

thanks for the clarification..

anyway I tot you remux king? retired from all those remuxing already ar? biggrin.gif

Remux king? laugh.gif I passed all the duties to my friend already. Now he's the one downloading, remuxing, etc. He even owns my RS account now. Sometimes I take a peek at his drives and steal 1 or 2 movies. laugh.gif

I'm just focused to BDs now, got no time anymore. blush.gif

bos, can you clarify, PS3 HDD is not FAT32 so no 4GB limitation, so can I remove the HDD and copy a 12GB video file like remux mp4 into this internal HDD via sata etc.. and put it back into the PS3? viola there is your 12GB 1080p mp4 movie inside the PS3.... biggrin.gif can work ar liddis?

Tried that long time ago, your computer OS won't recognize it. Apparently PS3 uses it's own propriety file system format, it's not NTFS.

But disk management software like Partition Magic, etc can recognize it as a harddisk drive, just can't see or access the contents. So you can reformat it to FAT32 or NTFS to use it as normal harddisk. I did that to the original PS3 harddisk when I upgraded the PS3 to 160GB.

I wanna keep the movie in my PS3, don't wanna turn on my PC every time I wanna watch. This usually movies I really love but not yet available on BD, or the existing BD release locked to other regions so I can't buy it. Once I have an 8GB Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back, ripped from HD-broadcast in my PS3. It looked quite good in HD. Again, I'm a geek in a weird way. tongue.gif

Of course, all this talk is because I don't have a dedicated media player. blush.gif

your reply is irrelevant. WDTV had no lan either, until WDTV Live. None of the low end RMVB players have internet connection, yet they play downloaded RMVBs fine.

------------------

back to the Sony - since they mention Divx, AVI format should be ok.

But there is no mention of support for RMVB and MKV. If you download movies/TV series in either of these formats then you're out of luck.

Sorry miss 1 part of explanation... the dloaded AVI file i put in thumb drive...
can it be play?

Example of TV Series..
Heroes, Smallville, CSI, - which is around 350MB

Coz at home i have Sony Bravia KLV-40S550A which has a USB port and it says can play movie...
but it cannot, maybe due to compression differences..
