So far, it has happened to me once that a trailer I downloaded from the internet played only video but no audio on my PS3.

However, when you run into a file that can't be played correctly on your PS3, you can convert the file on your PC to a codec that is compatible with the PS3 and then play that converted file.

Why not just play it on a PC since it can already do it?

(I'm trying to be sarcastic - you know, because of all of the "just get a PS3" comments

)! Us HTPC people are not allowed in the player section but the PS3 is allowed in the PC section...hmmmmm?

Anyway I just had to take that shot - just trying to add some comical relief thats all. Don't put your flame suits on
