    I was wondering what format do I need to save DVD Copies on my computer for my PLaystation 3 to be abe to pick up the file on media share? I can copy one of my Dvds on to my harddrive but when I try to wirelessly connect my playstation 3 to pull it up and watch it on my tv it doesn't find the file? I wanted to put all my DVDs on the HardDrive so when I want to watch a movie in the livingroom I can just pull it up with media share and not worry about having to get the actual DVD. Does any one know what program and how I need to save the DVDs and Bluray movies onto the HardDrive so I can pick it up on my playstation? :confused:

    H264 mp4 is the safest best.

    You need to add the videos to the media library that Windows Media Player can access, and it should show up as a DLNA entry on the PS3. In theory that is... I use PlayOn that way, and it works, but all my DVD's I ripped to my hard drive are sitting on a media center that's directly connected to the TV.
