If I ripped a bluray to my computer and it was in .mt2s format, which i heard is viable on PS3, would it play from my PC onto my PS3 ? I know you can do that with certain formats on PS3 and Xbox360, but I wasn't sure if that format would work ?

and sorry if this is the wrong place for this question, I just wasn't sure where else to post a question about the PS3
 
I stream movies to my PS3 without the use of any software at all. It's built into Vista/7 and I think XP.

Pretty sure none of the windows media streaming services support transcoding, So you have limited filetype support.

Where as with ps3media server - it will transcode nearly any video file format.
 
is it possible to play a ps3 game on an emulator? im just wondering. since almost all consoles have emulators :p

Old thread it seems, but this seems to get asked every now and then. To answer your question, you would still need to demux the audio to AAC or AC3.

Huh, then how come I can stream the .m2ts files my camcorder produces from my PC to my PS3 directly with no problems? Never had to convert anything.
 
Your camcorder isn't using some fancy 7.1 sound codec.

Somebody said "built into Win7" must be talking about enabling the streaming in Windows Media Player. The PS3 can play Xvid/Divx and WMV's fine but things like mt2s usually don't just work from a BR.

You could always use Handbrake to make it an MP4 (or whatever it is, the other option besides MKV), pick the main soundtrack to passthru and if worse came to worse let it make the audio in stereo.

Because the audio is in AAC on your camcorder and the audio is still DTS on the BRD or rip. Which can only be played through a physical disk or an authored AVCHD disk. As I previously suggested to the OP, he should still demux the m2ts and transcode the DTS track to AAC or AC3.
