QUOTE(aiman04 @ Jan 8 2008, 07:15 PM) Just use your pendrive or external HDD la... If want can copy to your PS3's internal... Not just AVI files (DiVX), WMV, VOB or MP4 with 720p/1080p HD content (h264) also can... Even "ahem2" movie...  do we need to create folder or something? or install Linux?

QUOTE(terencetoo @ Jan 9 2008, 02:17 PM) eii not 250GB? act y do v need to insert 160 or 250GB n so on? what are u guys going to put in? where 40GB PS3 can hook up external hdd as well? Ohh another thing..usb for PS3 can support external 2.5"hdd? We are putting in trailers / demos and downloaded games haha now i am confused Can an external harddisk connected to PS3 USB serve the same purposes as the internal harddisk? If yes, do I still need to upgrade my internal harddisk to bigger capacity?

Hi all,
I use the F@H method to download and install demos/trailers from my PC
The demos work fine after downloading and installation
The trailers once finish download and going for installation, it hit an error (error during installation 8**** or something).
Ok i thought since it is a .MP4 trailer, it can't be installed, only download
but when i tried to find the trailers under Video, it is not there.
Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?
