Videos on HD to TV - Blu-ray Forum

CookSux · 02-01-2010, 06:32 AM

Just for background purposes I have a Samsung 50" FP-T5084 and both an XBOX360 and PS3. I have a harddrive full of movies that I'd like to stream straight to my TV, instead of having to use my laptop as a middleman.

The tv when I hook up via wiselink, it doesn't read.
The XBOX and PS3 don't read it as well.

Is it possible because my 1TB harddrive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)? If so, what should I format my harddrive to so that any of these devices can read it, as well as my MacBook pro (I know one format doesn't let me store files above a certain size).

Thanks

Try this out. I use Medialink to stream from my Mac to my PS3. Software was $20. You may want to use Connect360 as well. Just go to the site below and click on products tab. Hope this helps you out.
