    hey guys, i got a small problem. i got 5 seasons of "stuff", my ps3 sees it in my pc ( media center), but it just says that it cant play that format.

    so any good converters to dvix or whatever best format for ps3? or maybe i can get some codecs for ps3?

    What is it, MKV?

    PS3 Media server is one program that can transcode files to play as it transcodes.

    its .wmv, but there are so many codec times and crap i dont even know what is it.

    i tryed to play them on ps3 by just sharing them from pc, it did not worked, i tryed just to burn them in to dvd ( data disc) and it was same.

    Yeah the PS3 has always been fussy with videos for me even though it should play more than the Xbox. Anyway, like I said, download PS3 Media Server or else TVersity, they should sort it out. They convert on-the-fly so there's no waiting to play the files.

    If you want to transcode and aren't in a hurry and want some actual files to play then Azureus/Vuze which is a bittorrent client can convert them, wouldn't advise doing it on a laptop though.

    Ps3 media server is the actual software for pc? Sorry i did not copped on in beggining. If it fil filter videos, and play from my pc, then its a winner in my opinion
