Wagner Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 PS3 does play back BD-R disks but it does not play back H.264 / X.264 media larger than 4GB file size due the limitations of FAT32 system it uses. Any blue-ray copy stored on a DVD9 is likely to be close to 8GB in size and even DVD5 will almost always be over this 4GB limit. At current the only option to play those back, as far as I know, is to use a computer. DivX has a max resolution of 720 x 576, not enough for 720p, letalone for 1080p so a DivX enabled DVD player will not play back any HD media stored on DVD5 or DVD9 either. I do not know if PS3 plays back VC-1 on BD-R though. I believe it has to be a image of a Blue-Ray disk for PS3 to be able to play it back. Otherwise the FAT32 limitation would certainly come into play. Lost my interest in my PS3 much sooner than I could be bothered to fiddle with all those options. The FAT32 limitation was the ultimate killer for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funky_house Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I use a PS3 as a Blu-Ray player. It was cheap, the picture is good on my HDTV and I thought that I would let the inventors/producers iron out all of the problems, before buying a purpose built one. I might be wrong, but I think that these, and Blu-Ray players proper, have some form of region coding in them, or on the disks to help control the release and marketing of the films. If they are selling Blu-Ray disks, they must have some method of overcoming these "region locks". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blu-Ray disks to BKK, they won't play on a Thai PS3, or Thai Blu-Ray player, I presume. Unless there is some form of hack for the players. although, I must admit, I haven't looked for one, or heard of one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buena vista and fox will lock all ther blu-ray(what ever the region is)warner and sony almost never.You also can find now some blu-ray player who are region free(in Sweeden if i remember well).I herad that China will also make some player free zone in a soon future :wink: .
