the ps3 XMB only recognizes fat32 partitions, fat32 file limitations are 4GB...also, mpeg2 files are limited to slightly bigger (don't know the exact size limit).

Haven't heard of anyone converting (reliably) .mpeg2 into avc which could be really small and still maintain the quality

It's also really hard to convert the h.264 bluray to a format that the XMB plays (and maintain it's quality)

The bluray .mpeg2 streams are the easist to do..

I think it's because you are playing the .mpeg2 stream that is "wrapped" in the bluray .m2ts container, I am assuming .m2ts stands for mpeg2 transport stream, all we are doing to get it to play as a file is changing the container not the actual stream...it SHOULD be indistinguishable from the bluray stream (and to my eyes it is)

the sequence i have been using:
decrypt main movie stream .m2ts
remux to get just 5.1 english audio stream/video w/ elecard
filesplit
then I use VLC to just convert ts to ps

anyone put AVP back together? seamless branching, tuff to reassemble

it is a bit of a bummer we are only limited to the mpeg2 releases...

once bluray blanks drop in price in a couple of years, this will all be moot

but how to keep all this data backed up?!
