Hi there, would like to ask whether the PS3 can support hd movie files such as ".ts file" which is playable on HD media media players such as Dvico etc.


Can we just copy the movies from the HD media player's hard disk into another external hard drive then plug it via usb cable into the PS3 system?

ps3 can play ts file but cant play mkv, rmvb...

also fat32 file size limatation

mkv normally can remux into m2ts without any encoding (tsmuxer/mkv2vob)
PS3 should play very well with these m2ts files

okay, so we can just plug in the usb drive and play directly?

nope..

true mah.. if require to modify/remux/convert /recode/resize/chop to 4GB file limit, then any video file also can play la..

i never say not true..
just since you no explain much to him

Use external tools can format 100GB fat32 format.

What does this mean? Can have >4Gb files?

so need tools..

again.. means... if need to convert/use software tools/change format/etc.. any video also can be supported by PS3 lor..

for me..i just installed PS3 Media server on my pc.. then watch thru my ps3 via LAN, no format limitation.. but need to on pc and ps3 though.. my pc is always on anyways.. its my downloading server..

i think PS3 is very capable to play HD files

HD files source i guess majority are downloaded from internet which most of the time is in mkv format around 1.5-3G if is labeled with 720p (higher quality than DVD but less than bluray)

mkv very often is x264 video with AAC/AC3 audio which is ready to be remux into m2ts format without transcoding (mean the speed to convert is less than 1 min for a 2G file)
