I have a ripped HD DVD that I would like to transfer to my PS3s internal hard drive. The file is 10.3GB. How would I transfer this file over?
I can also settle for streaming this file from my computer through wifi. I don't know how lag free this will be but those are my options.

As long as the ripped video is in m2ts format you can copy the file via your home wireless network. m2ts because there is no file size restriction.
Also, if your HDDVD isn't processed properly it will not play, i.e. pulldown removed, eac3 converted to AC3, and the video codec cannot be VC1, it must be h264 for playback on the PS3's HDD.
If you need help with any of this just ask.

Yea, I do need help on the format. I have never heard of m2ts before. I don't want to re-encode the video because it'll take about 8 hours on the computer in my siggy. Any way to convert it? How to I copy files from a wireless network to a PS3? Can't I do that with a media server?
Edit: I have removed all the copy protection on it, I can play it on a PC without HDCP. Any MP4 decoder plays it now. Even VLC.

OK then, what format is it in? What is the video and audio codec?

The properties of the file show it as MPEG-4 Movie

What container? .ts, .mkv, HDDVD structure? If it is .ts or .mkv use tsMuxeR and mux to .m2ts, if there are several parts to the file you will need to append the files together.
Can you use MediaInfoRaw on the file and post the report? That would enable me to help more.

Great job. I never really work with mp4 videos but I'm pretty sure I can help... but I need to try for myself with a sample I have. I'll report back soon.
In the meantime, download, if you don't already have, the latest MeGUI, mkvmerge, and mkvextract. I think the mkv apps can be found in a bundle called mkvtoolnix.

First install MeGUI, if you don't already have it. When promted make sure you at least import all of the AAC and AC3 profiles. At this point all we are going to do is convert your AAC audio to AC3 which will only take minutes.
OK... here we go.
1. Using mkvmerge, from mkvtoolnix add your mp4 file and mux to mkv.
2. Using mkvextract, from mkvtoolnix, extract the two raw streams from the mkv. Once done you should have a H264 (video) file and a AAC (audio) file.
3. Using MeGUI, in the audio section, load your AAC audio file (demuxed from mkvextract).
4. In the "Encoder Settings" dropdown choose "Aften AC-3 - DVD - Low", hit the "config" button and choose 128 kbps, since that is what the source file is.
5. Click "Enqueue", go to the "Queue" tab and hit start. Once done you'll and an AC3 file.
6. Download tsMuxeR. Add the H264 file, add the AC3 file, choose the M2TS option, and mux.
7. Copy the M2TS file to your PS3's HDD through your home network and enjoy.
I have never done this myself so I hope everythng works. Oh yeah, your mp4 only has 2.0 sound... which is the lowest quality. In the future I'd try to aquire movies with at least AC3 5.1 surround sound... even if your setup doesn't support you'll be OK.

Thanks, I'll give that a try and let you know. The reason I did it in MP4 was because that's the only file compatible with PS3. It might take a while, I'm a little busy this week. I'll let you know when I do it though.

With MP4 you are limited to AAC 2.0 and a file size of up to 4GB, with M2TS you can have AC3 5.1 or even LPCM 7.1 uncompressed surround sound and there is no file size restriction, I just watched the Pirates trilogy all from my PS3's HDD, all were around 40GB each file.
Let me know how you make out.
