Playback mode:

* It may take about 10 seconds for some video files to be correctly recognized for the first playback.

PS3 playback (1): directly copy to the video folder in the root directory of the Mobile storage device (you have not created it yourself) to play the video.
PS3 playback (2): If the video file is larger than 4 GB, you can use twonkymedia to transfer the file to PS3 (Tutorial).
PS3 playback (3): If the video file is greater than 4 GB, use Nero 8, select the DVD-UDF mode, udf2.5 file system, burn the bdmv folder to the DVD dial, put in the PS3 to play.

PS3 playback (4): Some avchd movies are processed in special ways. They can be stored on a mobile hard disk, connected to the PS3 through USB, and played directly on the PS3 without encoding, the original BD image is used for re-encapsulation. Note that before playing the video, you must change the directory name to avchd and use the FAT32 format file system.

PC playback: direct playback is supported.

The Encapsulation Format is just a media container, but it is actually a shell. The above table describes the formats supported by the PS3, that is, the suffix type. Encoding is the encoding supported by this format. It is actually what kind of material the container can put. The Media Encoding needs to be confirmed by the player on the computer.

Most of the video encoding on the network is supported by the PS3, but the encapsulation is not necessarily supported by the PS3, so remux [re-encapsulation] is required. This operation is suitable for videos with subtitles embedded or without subtitles. this is not difficult. Detailed steps and tools are described in the basic suppression section. For videos that require subtitles, XMB of the PS3 cannot directly support external subtitles. Therefore, it is quite time-consuming to re-code the videos. If you are interested, you can read the tutorials written by netizens in this area. If you don't want to bother yourself, you can download a video with off-the-shelf subtitles.
