Hi there,
I've been feaverishly working on my new ps3 i picked up at the beginning of the week. I'm running into an odd problem however and can't seem to find anyone else that has run into the same situation.
I used xvid4psp to convert some videos from the xvid format to an mp4 so i could play on the ps3.... i can't seem to get the file to the ps3 however. I have an IIS installed on my home network and have directory browsing enabled. The PS3 can see the files but when i click on the newly created mp4 file, it just errors saying download failed 00003. If i click on the original xvid video however, it asks me if i want to transfer to my videos folder on the ps3 even though i know it won't be able to play. ...
anyone run into this problem where they can't copy the mp4?...
btw.. i upgraded the HHD in my ps3 to a 250 gig drive...:)...lots of room for videos.

that's odd. concidering there is no support for divx from what i read yet, how is yours playing an xvid video (without linux).
I just tried copying a xvid .avi to the ps3 hard drive, but then it comes up "unsupported media" in the menu. If i attempt to play it, just errors out corrupt data....i know that's not the case, it plays on the pc just fine.

right... so that's why i'm trying to transcode the videos over to an mp4 format the the ps3 can copy to it's hard drive and play. I'm still researching but am i doing something wrong... not much for settings in xvid4psp other than setting mp4 for ps3 and the video quality to render to. I'm assuming this converts it to a H.264 encoded mp4 ... maybe it needs to be somethign different...

I've been experimenting quite a bit the last few days with different apps... xvid4psp, sony vegas, adobe premier, vlc, and others you listed. Looking for the best way and the quickest to render... that wasn't my big issue... it's getting it onto my ps3's hard drive via the network... wierd thing is, i could copy a smaller file with a usb stick to it no problem, but it would error on the same file when i try and copy from the network... just wierd... still troubleshooting the prob.... thx for all the input.

well to close this off, i finally found out what was going on with the file transfer errors. I had time last night to look at it so i thought i'd drop on here incase anyone else has this problem in the future.
the default install of IIS doesn't include a .mp4 extension in the MIME Types. So if the site is even browsed to from a computer, you'll most likely get an error if you click on the link for an mp4 file.
In the IIS configuration screen, open the properties for the web server (not the web site, the server). You'll see the MIME Types button. In there, add a new entry,
Extension : .mp4
MIME Type : video/mpeg
This will let browsers know that the .mp4 file type is of type video so the browser can then assotiate it with it's local player. This would have to be done with other file extensions like the m2v for example that aren't listed by default.
After adding the line, restart the IIS server (iisreset at a command prompt or run command) and the ps3 can now transfer at full network bandwith.
by using IIS you have the control to only show folders you want to share unlike the red kawa file server that shows all directory structure. hope this helps other people...
