Hi everyone. I'm new to Afterdawn, and there's a good chance that this thread may be in the wrong place. If so, I do apologise.
My Playstation 3 plays .MT2S files great. I had an idea to rip my Blu-Ray movies to my PC, and then convert them to this file format using TsRemux. Then, using an NTFS formatted external USB hard drive (a big one), back my movies up onto them. Then, all I have to do is plug in my external hard drive via USB to my PS3, and have access to all my Blu-Ray movies without having to constantly switch disks, which already sucks for games.
There?s one problem. Playstation 3 does not support the NTFS file system.
There?s another problem. FAT32 formatted external drives have a 4GB limit on file sizes, and as we all know, Blu movies are around 30GB, ripped.
The only idea I had was to use MT2SSplit to split the movie into 4GB chunks. However, this sucks, because you watch 15 minutes of uncompressed HD beauty, only to have the movie stop because you have to select the next file to continue playing. And at the moment, PS3 does not support Video Playlists.
Ever since Software Update 2.50 you have the ability to enable sequential playback for video files on your PS3HD or on external FAT32 media/hard drives.
Just name your video files sequentially:
File000.m2ts
File001.m2ts
File002.m2ts
etc...
Then go to [Video Settings] and enable sequential playback.
No need to select the subsequent files as the movie doesn't stop after each file. They all play sequentially and you can enjoy the whole movie uninterrupted.
