Yes you can a lot of work to rip it make sure its x264 rip and take the mkv file convert it to vob then stream it to the ps3 I have 5 movies on my hdd and I watched all of them on my ps3

Since the PS3 only supports FAT32 external drives, you wouldn't be able to put a BluRay rip on the external, file sizes are too big.

You can still stream. I have an 8.2gb .vob 720p 5.1 Dolby on my ps3 hdd right now.

ok and how do u stream vob files,i can stream div x and xvid no probs

I use Tversity. When you're browsing files on the ps3's media server menu just hit triangle and copy to copy them over. Tversity works with .vob's and .mp4's which wmp has troubles with I think so thats why I don't use it

i also use Tversity but if i download a renammed BD .mkv to .vob the PS3 dose not play the file and say it is corrupted.The codec will be mpeg2 so this cant be work.I will try and rename it to .mp4 this is the supported HD formate and i hope it will be work.

[THREE_Consoles]

mp4 also does not work.

When did I say rename the file? You have to demux the mkv and remux is at ac3 audio in a .vob container. OR Demux the mkv convert audio to stereo and remux it as an mp4. This process is made easy with programs such as Ps3Video9 (using Mkv Passthrough) or MKVtoVOB.

no you dono say rename it but i read it on a few other forums: "Just rename it"!
Yea sure.....
THX man this helps a lot.I have a home cinema but it cant play dolby from input.There for i only have stereo with subwoofer on my PS3 ill take mp4 for my vids and to same time this will save some space on my HDD.
How many time need this on your machine?Becouse mine needs 18 hours to convert a DVD to mp4 720p/1080p.And there are another few programs running like F@H,Kaspersky....
Now i have a AMD sempron 1,8GHz 3000+ @ 2,01GHz 3300+ 2GB DDR RAM.Its a good cpu but now with converting vids i realize its time for a new system.
I thinking about to buy a AMD phenom x4 9500 8GB DDR2 RAM Dual Channel.

Hey. Yeah it usually takes REALLY long if you encode it. The best thing to do is try the option in the settings for PS3 Video 9 that says "MKV Passthrough / 160kbps Stereo" which should take about 20 minutes on your pc. As for the Phenom x4, as much as I love AMD, the intel Quad core is better lol. Good Luck with your videos!

[THREE_Consoles]

Please what?20 minutes?  
I tryed to convert the mkv to a 1080p mp4 but after 12 Hours the process only would be @ 21% so i canceled the converting.
Hmm.....you say the Quad2Do will be better?Than ive to give a try and make a comparson with both.
One more time THX  

[dreK]

Yeah it doesn't take long just make sure you use the correct settings, here's an example.
