I have a 2T hard drive that I formatted to FAT32 for use on my PS3. I have successfully placed file on the hard drive (size under 4GB) and played them on the PS3.

However, I have some .mkv files that Are over 4GB. From what i have read I cannot put these on a FAT32 HD. They are 720 movies and i don't want to sacrifice video quality. How can I keep the 720p resolution and make the files smaller than 4GB. (without splitting the file into multiple files and playing them in sequence)

Thanks!

I have no idea how large the file limit is for playing from HDD on a PS3, but you could split the audio/video using something like VirtualDub, convert the audio into a lesser bitrate and then remux the two.

It shouldn't do if you don't re-encode the video at all, and then simply re-add the lesser quality audio.

Ripper, fat32 can't read a file over 4gigs in size so why not use shrink?

I didn't think DVD Shrink could handle mkv files, only DVD compliant folders/.iso. Video quality may be reduced though.

Didn't know that about FAT32 - you learn something new every day.
