Media Server News:

http://ps3mediaserver.blogspot.com/

i have jumped bandwagon the Java ps3 media server is the best. Install is simple, and once you run it, the program automaticlly lets you browse ur entier computer though it so its ready to roll!

the best news is i am able to play video with subtitles.

 

Mine keeps freezing and slowing down my computer however when I play avi files its cool no lag no issues

 

hmm i'll have to try it.. so far i got tversity to work pretty good with avi , xvid and real player format video files.

 

it freezes up for me on my vista machine but not xp .
just found this one, http://www.orb.com/orb/, gonna try it tonight.
duno how good it is but it also offer you the ability to stream your stuff through the net.

 

i can explain why that is happening, there are certain files that the PS3 can play, for example MP4 files, and in this case the AVI files. On the other files the computer is pretty much rendering the video to a format that the PS3 can recognize on the fly. which lags the computer due processing power that is needed to convert the video. This is called "Transcoding." Imagine you have a video and you uploaded to youtube. Well youtube converts that video in to a universal format that everyone can watch. This is happening in on your computer as you select the file you want to watch. Infact you can monitor transcoding status on the java media server under the status tab.

 

trust me the JAVA ps3 media server is extremely user friendly.

 

Ok link me a converter?

 

transcoding takes alot of memory from the computer.



i ahve so many program installed right now LOL
tversity
nero home media center (SUX)
guess i'll try this media center thing when i get home.

 

I think ed has some converter program that he found a few days ago. I actually prefer having the computer transcode, than converting it. The reason is that converting a video that you got from the internet is very troublesome compared to a program that converts it for you on the fly as you watch it, specially if you have alot of videos to convert.

 

eddie the best thing to do is uninstall all those other server programs and just use the java ps3 media server it did everything that TVersity didn't/can't do like subtitles

 

Tone down the quality of transcoding, and limit the bandwidth on your network depending if you're 802b or g.
the reason why some files play fine and others don't is cause the PS3 is doing the work of transcoding rather than your computer

 

the converter is called handbrake
www.handbrake.fr
its' freeware and uses codecs on your computer to encode

 

So I finished 3 1080p quality downloads. They were about 11gb each, so a good 3-4 hours for each movie to d/l.

I start the movie up and they are all german soundtrack. HA!!!! Whoever ripped it left all the other soundtracks out. good for Karen and Jerry, not so good for me.

 

wtf hahah what movie?

We have some german-english dictionaries if you want to use them
