Sorry if that got a little too wordy but as a recap, try converting to a format the PS3 natively supports and forget about DVD functions.

The transcoded file size would be many times greater than the original 1.36GB for the same length movie and would just end up bottlenecked by your wireless-g network because it would have to push more data through the same sized "hole" to achieve the same result. Also, let's say that hypothetically you were able to save the transcoded file that's made by PS3 Media Server to stream to your PS3. For example, let's say you have a DVD movie you've converted that is 1.36GB (2 CD size) after conversion to an. Not to say that mkv is a bad container, but since the PS3 doesn't support it natively, PS3 Media Server has to transcode it first which significantly increases file sizes, and consequently the streaming process is bottlenecked by the wireless-g network you're using (since PS3 is limited to wireless-g).

Yes you will lose DVD functions like scene selection, but being able to rewind/fast forward is better than nothing.Īlso, I believe you're having bad buffering problems because of using the mkv container. A program called RipBot264 is perfect for this. What about PlayStation® TV or PlayStation® Vita Those devices have different software platforms, and we have no current plans to support them. If the audio and video streams in the file are otherwise compatible, it will be Direct Streamed.

For example, try converting your DVDs to an mp4 container (h264 video, aac audio). The Plex for PlayStation app does not currently support Direct Playing of MKV container videos. However, I think what may help alleviate your buffering problems is converting to a format that's natively supported by the PS3. I think that 802.11g just isn't fast enough to stream SD, let alone HD content in mkv containers because of the transcoding needed just to play mkv. From my experiences with PS3 Media Server, the buffering is really bad when using wireless.
