Greetings [H] crew,
I have recently bought a 1tb external hard drive and have been moving my entire digital video collection over to it for playback on my PS3. Most of the video files play just fine however there are a few popular video formats not supported. I figured the easiest thing to do would just simply convert them on my PC to .avi (using WinAVI Video Converter.) Even after I have done that the same video files in .AVI format still say they are not supported. Is WinAVI not appropriate for this purpose? Is there a better format I should be using for PS3 aside from AVI? Am I missing something in the settings?
Thanks for your time and help, respect!
