I have converted a sample of a 1080p film with mkv2vob. I transfered it with a usb and played it, it was really good. But when i do a full movie, the file will be a lot bigger and i read ps3 can't store files over 4gb as it is fat32. Will i have to split the movie into 4gb parts. If i do, will the ps3 change parts automatically?

Yes you will have to split it into sub 4gb parts if you intend to play it via a usb stick, you can get around the 4gb limit by putting it on a dual layer dvd using a certain format. The name of the format escapes me at the moment unfortunately.

Is there a way that I won't have to change the parts manually?

You can transfer files larger than 4gb over a network when you use a media server. This would allow the file to be sent as is with no splitting.
If you do end up having to split your files, there is a setting on the PS3 that allows for sequential playback so it will just play the next part directly after the first one finishes.

You are correct. I transferred a 22 gig Advent Children rip using the media server without splitting it. The PS3 does not have a fat32 file system, it has a proprietary file system. It just requires that all removable media be formatted as such.
Also consider making AVCHD discs. Most will fit on a dual layer DVD and will work in most BluRay players. You can do this using TSMuxer and a good burning program.

In relation to this topic, I'm looking to set up my ps3 to rip my blu rays to make backups using Linux.
The way I was planning on doing this was: use ps3 to rip image to external hardrive > plug hardrive into computer to use tsremux etc leaving it as just the movie and 1 audio all lossless > transfer new file to external harddrive and then watch them by plugging it into the ps3.
Basically, is this impossible?
How would I rip the image to the external hd if it has to be fat32? And then subsequently put the new file (approx 20gig) back onto the external hd to plug into the ps3 and watch movies?
How do other people do similar things to what I described above?

Nate44, If your using linux on your ps3 can't you have the drive formatted to NTFS (because linux will see it) which allows for transferring larger files, then move them back to the ps3 over network?

Thank you very much for the suggestion. I have not yet setup my ps3 with linux etc to do all this, it is just my intention and I've been researching it all before going to the bother of setting it all up.
So linux can definitely access a NTFS hd through the ps3?
So if I had a ntfs hd and I rip the image to it and transfer it to the computer, is there any possible way to get this large file onto a fat32 hd as one file that can be played through the ps3 interface?
The reason I ask is because I would like to be able swap between watching the files on a regular ps3 and a ps3 slim (which cannot use linux).
Thanks again

Nate44, as far as I know there is no real way to get a file over 4gb onto a drive formatted in FAT32. The only real way to get the files to your slim as well would have to be via transfer to a pc, then from that pc to the slim. It's a bit of a hassle but as far as I can see it, thats the only real way to go about it.

From all the reading I have been doing, that was the conclusion I had come to but I was hoping there may have been a way around it.
Thank you for your help.
I guess I might have to just swap out the slim hd for a 1tb internal one. Can file be transferred OFF the ps3 wirelessly back to the computer?

Ok guess I jumped the gun on that one, can't buy 1tb internal for the slim.
Would a lossless blu ray rip stream flawlessly over a WIRED connection through pms?
Are there any problems associated with splitting the file up into sub 4gb ones and playing off a fat32 external? (ie. movie cutting out, pauses between different files loading etc)
