Playing videos on the ps3?

I have downloaded the videora ps3 converted and succesfully converted the videos. I then transfer the videos to a flash card and put it in the ps3. The ps3 will be able to find a flash card in the video screen but then it says there are no files on it. How do i succesfully get my videos on the computer to play on the ps3?

Playing videos on the ps3?
first of all the videos have to be in mpeg also you might have to create folder on on your flash card and name the folder video and it must be in all capitals do not use videora it sucks


use WinAVI 3GP/MP4/PSP/iPod Converter i bought it on ebay as a download i only paid about 5.00 with this profrag im able to to convert files into mpeg and watch on the ps3

All your videos don't need to be mpeg. The PS3 supports several other file types.. including DivX and sometimes Xvid apparently... you just need to have the newest PS3 software update. Report It

Reply:What file type are the orginal files and what are you converting them to? (Can answer via e-mail or adding to your question).





FYI, the PS3 is able to play alot of video files types including DivX. I am unsure if wether or not it's coming via a CD in the drive or a flash card makes any difference. I read one sight about this Videora PS3 converter and it listed the types of files your might have that it can convert to "PS3 readable"... but in actually I think the PS3 was able to already read half the files it listed.. which is rather bogus advertising I'd say. The program itself may be a rip off... though I can't say for sure.





Also, to play certain PS3 compatible video files you need to make sure you have the latest software/firmware update for the PS3. If you haven't connected to the net and updated ever, I'd suggest looking into it. See the following link for a list of newer support file types and some instruction on how to get some to work....

The PS3 does support Mpeg4, but there are certainly other format options available. You certainly do not need to convert to a lower quality "Ipod compatible" format, because that'll likely be alot less quality. The PS3 has much more powerful hardware capabilities and software support... so it can play higher quality video files. The only limitation you might have is the size file you can fit on the flash card.





--- Addendum ------------





I can't even fine the PS3 version on the Videora website. I also stand corrected, the other software I found was not Videora, but something similar I guess, found here...http://www.redkawa.com/videoconverters/p...





The software that page shows is a total rip off, because every "computer file" they list is actually supported by the PS3 already.. no conversion needed. Although I think it's free.. so it's not so much a rip off as a waste of time. Videora does have a PSP converter, but the PSP is obviously a small, less powerful, portable device that would need files converted to a smaller more compressed format, like an ipod video would. But yeah.. do tell the file types of the original files and then I can be sure if A) you don't need to convert the files at all or B) what files you should be converting them into.





Also note, if they are wmv files then (as my first link will show you) there's a setting that needs to be manualy turned on, to get the PS3 to read those.
Reply:The video files must be in a directory VIDEO on your flash card by default. If they aren't you need to press the triangle while on the CompactFlash icon, and select Display All.
