Thanks again!

Ehehe.. no problem bro

Glad you could save the 10K

Thanks for reply but I have the TV since last year, before this PS3, did you mean it's not compatible with ps3's 1080i output?

Thanks,

skyracer maybe urs can, i know mine kenot

OMG , you saved RM10,000 + RM5K

anyway...you guys really save me from blowing a hole in my bank.

was so excited when I brought home my ps3 only realize there is no speaker out from the monitor, so got to settle for the stupid AV cable and the graphic look like PS2, dam kau depress......bought a component cable but still not as nice as HDMi.....the only solution is to buy a LCD TV, cos is already in the pipe line for the full HD one (cos still want to wait for the price to fall further), but got no choice untill decided to post it on this forum. And Wala! every thing just fall into places. HDMi with sound.

Seriously, you guys really did help me save alot of money.

Thanks again. dont mean to thanks so many time, cos Im a happy man for now.

Hi guys,

I have fw questions that I put up in the other thread. Wonder if you guys could help me. See below.

Thanks!

aiman, tabik to ur interest in ps3

1. use back 5400rpm, more stable
2. yes, its able to read bigger size HDD as long as its FAT32, im using swissknife (go google)
3. not sure on the backup, but yes on the 5 times thingy
4. some can i suppose

are u stating tat the ps3 will display the vid @ its native reso of 720?

I got no idea rgd this question. If anyone has tried and tested the proxy method for re-downloading PSN purchases, please confirm the results.

Thank you so much for your helps. Also tabik to everyone here too. I also learned a lot here 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 wrting from my memory.

PS3 Video 9
Recommended for remuxing .MOV Quicktime HD Videos

http://www.redkawa.com/videoconverters/ps3video9/

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!

GOTSent 0.23 Beta 6
Recommended for remuxing .MKV Matroska HD Videos

http://sentry23.googlepages.com/

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

AC3Filter Haali Media splitter
http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/

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!
