Pirate bay trail ends

Posted by Alex | Filed under: General, Sony

The pirate bay who are one of the worlds largest torrent tracking websites who are responsible for a large majority of pirated Sony products such as PSP torrents, PS2 torrents, PS3 torrents, Playstation game torrents, Playstation 2 torrents, Playstation 3 torrents, Little big planet torrent etc.. The pirate bay do serve a purpose on the internet, if the pirate bay was to be shut down some people argue playstation games might be cheaper but then again they would never be free. The pirate bay offers free playstation games, free PSP games, free PS2 games and free PS3 games.

Apparently things are looking good for the Bay as they presented that they were merely a search engine, and as such did not host any copyrighted files.

To quote: Today was the last scheduled in the Pirate Bay trial, and the four defence lawyers made their closing statements. They all presented much the same points, the main ones being that the Pirate Bay site didn’t hold any copyright films or music – it merely acted as a search engine – and that no copyrighted content passed through it anyway.

The prosecution had failed to produce any uploaders or downloaders, and had not shown their actions were illegal where they happened to live.

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.
