Your PS3 is an all-in one entertainment system. It's not only a Blu-ray player, but a handy AVI player as well. It's not straightforward though. My experimenting revealed a few things:
PS. If you intend to watch videos with subtitles, there's some work involved. Check here.
- The thumb drive’s file system must be FAT32. If it's exFAT, NTFS, your PS3 won't recognize it.
- The ideal format is AVI-XVID. (To determine format, install the program "Any Video Converter" from CNET and drag your movie into the main panel.)
- MPG will also play fine, however full-length MPG movies tend to be huge and FAT32 can only support a max of 4GB.
- Some files in AVI-DX50 do play properly, while some do not.
- MP4 will play, but the audio may be out of sync.
- To view your movies, go to Videos. You should see your drive there. If you press O and it says "There are no titles", press X, then the triangle button. A side bar will open. Choose "Display All".
