Playing HD off a DVD? - Blu-ray Forum

The Guardian · 09-04-2007, 11:09 PM

I have an HD file (1080i) recorded off cable. It's on my computer and I want to watch it on my nice TV. In it's current .avi file format it would fit on a dual-layer DVD...

Is there any way to make my PS3 play this in HD without downconverting and burning in DVD-Video format? I don't have a BD burner unfortunately.

Edit: Should mention I have Nero 7.10.1.0 full version.

Convert it to MP4 and copy it onto a MASSIVE flash drive. then transfer it to your PS3.

Any way that doesn't involve spending $130 on an 8GB USB stick?

You can burn the MP4 to a data DVD and copy it to your PS3 like you would with a memory card.

Actually, you can get an 8 gig for 70$.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the PS3 only read FAT through external drives and cards? Meaning he'd be limited in the file size?

yes, limit to 4gb per file.
