convert for ps3

[pensioner]

Hi all,i have been d/loading some avi files for viewing on my ps3,sadly quite often i find the message ...this media is not recognised.when i transfer the files to my ps3.

But,if i convert the avi to dvd files via dvdflick,then open in..dvd shrink,
WAIT FOR IT
....then create an iso image with imageburn,i simply run it through fairuse,and PRESTO..it works fine in my pc3.

Please anyone know a quicker way.

Thanks all...Pensioner.

The PS3 isn't recognizing the disc with AVI files burned on it?

Why not just convert the AVIs to a format the PS3 will recognize? They need to have a DivX/Xvid video stream, and an MP3 audio stream.

Make sure you have updated the PS3 to the latest firmware, as support for various formats. It now plays most formats, so unless you are trying to play RMVB, some obscure format, or files very badly encoded, you should be having few issues.

Your process to get the files to play is long-winded and unnecessarily complicated. Something as simple as AVI Recomp will probably solve most of your issues.

However I would suggest you start with g-spot or mediainfo and find out what is so strange about these files.
