Posted by Alex | Filed under: PS3

Just been watching the above video over at dead pirate studios on Justin.tv, there saying that the Playstation 3 was baseiccly marketed by Sony as being a cheap blue ray console which I know for a fact that a lot of people have gone blue ray player shopping and have come home with a Ps3, why buy a blue ray player for $50 more than a Sony playstation 3 , which with a Sony playstation 3 you can go online on, you can save movies on, you can install linux on it etc.. They say that we should all write to Sony and tell them to make it a better gaming console.

Sony claims overall video supremacy over xbox 360

Posted by Alex | Filed under: PS3

Sony is outlining several video playback advantages they feel the PlayStation 3 holds over rival console Xbox 360, such as Blu-ray support and the lack of “double fees.”

The company’s statement came only a day after Microsoft announce that 1 million Xbox Live Gold members have downloaded Netflix’s Xbox Live application since launching last November, watching 1.5 billion minutes of movie and tv shows with the service so far.

But Sony argues that it offers a higher standard of “comprehensive digital entertainment experience,” as PS3 owners have free access to the PlayStation Network and are not required to pay membership to download videos. Wheras Xbox 360 users must pay for an Xbox Live Gold subscription and a Netflix Unlimited subscription to stream Netflix movies with the Microsoft console.

However, Microsoft does offer an Video Store through its Xbox Live Marketplace that all Xbox Live members in the U.S., UK, Canada, Ireland, France, and Germany can use for free to download TV shows and movie rental.

Sony also points out its free PlayStation Portable connectivity, which lets users to transfer SD video content from their PS3 to a PSP, and watch videos wherever they are.

Sony also claims that PlayStation Network offers faster download speeds. The company adds that its PlayStation Network provides HD content reliably without “waiting for streaming connections that might not ever be made.”

The system’s built-in player for Blu-ray discs, the victor against HD DVD discs in the HD disc format war, is also a key point in the Ps3 release, as are the Ps3 browser’s Flash 9 support for online video streaming, and new film releases available on PsN.

convert dvd movies to ps3

Posted by Alex | Filed under: PS3, Sony

how to convert dvd to ps3:
This guide will explain how to convert your DVDs to MP4 format for playback on your Playstation3. By doing this, you can in turn have a digital movie jukebox on your PS3! This process requires two main components, a DVD Decrypter and Handbrake or PS3 Video 9 by Red Kawa.
Open DVD Decrypter and then pop in your movie. It may ask you to set your region, choose your region and click OK (this will not permanently set it, just for the software/ripping session)

Now go to Tools > Settings. We need to change a file splitting setting prior to ripping our movies to our pc’s hard drive.

Go to the IFO MODE tab and click on the File Splitting drop down. Change it to None. This will let us create one big .vob file when we rip.

Click OK once your done w/any other setting changes.
In DVD Decrypter, click on Mode and then click on IFO

You will notice that the right side of the DVD Decrypter window will change. Click on the Input tab and select the main movie (you can tell by it being the longest title), and then click on the Stream Processing tab.

We will want to check the “Enable Stream Processing” and then select the Video and Audio stream we want.
