The PS3 Clubhouse

[technicks]

Is it look better when you plug the ps3 to an Hdtv instead of an monitor?

It depends on the tv or monitor you are using. I have a 37'' Full HD TV and 2 26'' monitors.
On the tv it looks great. As expected because it is 16:9. On my Asus monitor it also looks great because i can set it from 16:10 ratio to 16:9 which gives you the black bars you asked for. On my IIyama i looks like shit because i can only play it 16:10.

Yep. All you have to do is Enable Internet Connection Sharing.

If you are still on windows 7, go to your control panel, and open the Network and Sharing Center.

In the left hand pane of the window that pops up, click on Change adapter settings.

In the next window, right click on the network adapter that is connected to the internet and go to properties.

In the properties window, click on the Sharing tab, and check the Allow other users......... box. Hit OK, and you should be able use the other lan ports to connect to the internet thru your computer.

trying to connect ps3 is the second computer with dual onboard lan, one lan is connected to the internet already, the other lan i can connect to ps3 if i share it like u said right?

 

[Corduroy_Jr]

any services i should turn on, cause i think disabled sharing?

 

[Corduroy_Jr]

sorry for so many replies, which one do i share, the one that has the actual internet connection, or the other local area connection that will hook up to ps3

 

[Wile E]

The Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service needs to be on/available.

You share the one connected to the Internet.

And, to avoid multiple posts, just use the edit button. Don't want the mods coming down on your head. lol.

Guys i'm trying to watch 720p movies that I downloaded on my PC problem is that they are 4GB and up. How can I get them on to my 16 GB Ipod and get the PS3 to detect it?

If the PS3 doesn't recognize exFat or NTFS and Fat32 doesn't except files larger than 4GB what options are left?

 

[Cold Storm]

I did this for my ps3. Thanks wile e!!
PS3 Media Server and set it up to run everything I have off my computer-threw router-on PS3.

Works like a charm on all my anime, movies. Also have CCCP for my codec.

 

[kid41212003]

Cool, I just tried that.
At first, the codec kept crashing, but after I re-register all the filers it's working flawlessly now .

And if you cant stream it, the only option is turn burn the file to a DVD or BD disc.

But honestly, since I discovered ps3mediaserver, I don't play any files directly on the ps3 anymore. I stream them all. Note: I am hardwired. Wireless can have some issues with high-bitrate HD content.

I just got a PS3 1080p version of all my movies and they are 3.99GB and will copy on any FAT32. I did try streaming but it would play for 3 seconds while I waited 2 minutes. I'm good now though.

1080p at 4GB is pointless. You are better off downloading 720p at that file size. It will lose a lot less detail, and likely actually look much better, even on a 1080p set.

JUst burn the file to a DVDR. The PS3 will play it fine then

1080p @ 4GB is pointless (most good quality 1080p files are 6-8GB +) Stick to 4GB 720p files

Well it looks great. so I'm not complaining. I don't have anything media larger than 700MB to burn on, but maybe in the future.

agreed. Except 9, the biggest one was 7 gb. i was looking for like a 10gb.

My favorites are the 15Gb MKV 1080P rips

Download a 4GB 720p version, and I bet it looks better. It loses a lot less detail than the 1080p rip compressed that much.

The question isn't if 4GB 1080p looks good or not, just that does it look as good as 4GB of space can provide?

I just rip the raw BD video stream into an MKV container, convert the audio to FLAC, and OCR the subtitles and make an srt subs track (while keeping a copy of the BD format subs). Lossless archiving, ftw.

The only time I process the video, is some of these title are getting ridiculous with the amount of artificial film grain they are adding. Way of War comes to mind. In those cases, the compressed movie actually looks better than the original, as it takes out some of the film grain, but leaves most of the detail intact.

LOL mkv files are superb quality.....its just a shame the 360/PS3 doesnt support it I stick to XvidHD nowadays They look great (720p, between 2-4GB usually) and run great on the 360/PS3.

Just grab yourself a decent sized USB pendrive (maybe 8-16GB)

I already have a 16GB iPod my problem is that PS3 only recognizes Fat32 but Fat32 won't except any files larger than 4GB.

I even tried converting the 1080p files that were 6GB-8GB in size through mkv2vob using file split but when I played them on my PS3 the audio came out as a loud buzz. I tried various settings in mkdv2vob converting numerous times to fix it but every time it came out that way. So I resorted to the 1080p 3.99GB sized files that I found.

If you really need to play mkv on your PS3 you need to use Tversity and stream But trust me, XvidHD is by far easier to work with (on a 360/PS3) and even if the file is only 4GB the quality is superb

MKV isn't a codec. It's just a container. You can put Xvid/mp3 in mkv, for example.

As for grabbing movies the PS3 will play, look for H.264/AC3 mp4 files. They are the highest quality per size.

ps3media server is infinitely better at streaming to ps3. Just a heads up.

Use Handbrake, set it to the ps3 profile, set target size to 4GB, and set resolution to 1280x720.

 

[Cold Storm]

I tried a few "steaming" tools before i grabbed PS3 server from you wile e... I seached for two days, playing with different things and non of them worked without jumping over hoops to get animes to work right at all..

To me, if you can get an anime to run, then you can get anything to run via computer or console..

But, to each their own.

Thanks, man this programa should be listed on the front page or something.

Hmm I don't see the PS3 Profile under Presets there is Ipod related stuff, classic , normal and high.

Weird. It used to have a ps3 profile. Oh well.

Ok, pick High Profile.

In the picture tab, set anamorphic to loose, and width to 1280.

In video, select target size, and set it to 4096 or lower. Check the 2 pass button.

In the audio tab, manually select the track you want to use in the Source box (if the original has more than one audio), and manually select how many channels in the mixdown box (Stereo if the original file is stereo, and 6 channel discrete if the original is in surround sound).

Pick your file name and destination, make sure it's set as an mp4 file, and start your encode.
