Streaming Blu-Ray to the PS3 - Blu-ray Forum

goodfella · 12-01-2007, 10:59 PM

I am new to the site so I can't post in the other sections so I figured I would post here and see if anyone could help. I just recently bought a Samsung BD-P1400 and a Sony SXRD KDS-60A3000 Rear projection TV. I didn’t like how long it took to load the movies so I took it back and bought a PS3. I love the functionality of the PS3 and saw the “access media server” section. I would like to build a media server and load all of my DVD’s, Blu-Ray’s and CD’s on it to access through the PS3. I do not want to shrink the Blu-Ray or DVD movies, I want to transfer them so they are exactly the same size. I am paying for great quality so I do not want to degrade the quality by shrinking the size. I have seen on this forum that people have set up media servers but I haven’t I have a few questions.

1.Has anyone here streamed a full Blu-ray file from a server to the PS3?

2.I understand that I will need a good router and I have an router with gigabit ports and will network the PS3 CAT6 wire. Will I run into problems with this setup?

3.Are the Blu-ray movies too large for this type of setup?

Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide!

My question is what would be the best program and format to rip a blu-ray disc without any loss of quality in picture or sound? I know that will be one really large video file but with hard drives being so cheap now this would be perfect for someone wanting to rip their blu ray discs and setting up a media server.

Simple,

Ripping the Blu Ray files is illegal.

We don't discuss such things here. It's against the forum rules.

Have a nice day.

Sorry, I did not know that was a rule on this forum. Lets rephrase the question. Say you had down loaded a free HD show from the internet, would you run into problems?

There is a complete section at the Playstation Sony site on this matter. Its a tough one though, lots of workarounds on playing files outside of the PS3 realm.
