format a USB drive as FAT32 file system (NTFS will not work with PS3), create a folder called "VIDEO" (without "s), put the video in there.
name new folders "PICTURE" and "MUSIC" for those types of files as well.

why not just stream it from the computer?

How so? It's largely reliant on the DLNA server hardware/app you're using and the speed of your LAN.

Unless you mean playing a video as it downloads from the PLAYSTATION Store which is reliant on everything between the store server and your own BB connection.

because when i enable the streaming it disconnects everything in my house connected to the wireless network, including the ps3 itself from the psn, pain in the butt.

Hey, streaming is not that bad. You just got to figure it out. Figure out what's causing the problem.

I think he means straight from the net. I have done it but I'm at work and would need to be home to tell you.
