Hi there, not sure if right place to post. Firt ever post.
The problem is i have backed up a Blu-ray movie which is roughly about 8G in mkv form & would ultimatly like to transfer it to my ps3 via my USB Flash drive. The USB flash drive is a Transcend 16G. When i try to transfer the movie file to the Flash Drive it says the drive is full. How?? I've tried transfering other files with no problems & i've also tried re-encoding to mpeg using 'MKV2VOB' program, but still no result. Any help would gratefully appreciated!!?

I think Flash drives are Fat32 and they can only hold file sizes of about 4GBs.

that is what the problem is, fat32.
geeordie, get an external hard drive in ntfs format to transfer files over 4gig in size or breakup the file into 4gig portions for fat32.

Thank guys. I understand. any ideas as to how i could split the movie into 2 4G portions so i could transfer to the PS3 and watch the movie without any hiccups? Just bought the Flash Drive & dont fancy shelling out for an external hard drive.

Hate to be a pain guys but i've just tried using the File Splitter program from link above but cant rebuild the files on the Flash Drive. Its only a 16G drive, so dont have enough memory left on it to rebuild the split pieces on the drive. Tried plugging Flash Drive into PS3 to see if i coud maybe replay the split files one by one but dont show up, even by displaying all. Any more tips guys?? Thanks again!

well first off, you said that you riped it to a 8GB mkv? mkv is not YET recognized by the playstion 3. you should use something like tsMuxeR(tsMuxeRGUI.exe) or mkv2vob for you file split, and it will also leave it in a format that is recognizable by the ps3. note: the ps3 is also in fat32 so you'll have to make sure the file size is not over 3.9 GB
if you need help with anything else, let me know...

Hi, cheers for the advice with tsMuxer, but I cannot seem to work out how to use it.
I have a blue-ray file that is 4.3 gig and need to split it to put on my ps3 but after looking through the options the tsmuxergui application has, i haven't got a clue.
If anyone would be able to help at all i would be grateful.
