PS3 Slim

[dfergie]

I bought one of these about a month ago and am just now getting to play with a little... I got it networked last night, nice machine and like being able to stream from my pc (so far just divx stuff) It will not quite handle the higher bitrates that my Sony BDP350 will, but it is more compact and is working fine for my BT...

For anything that you have problems streaming, try PS3 Media Server, it will transcode on the fly.

360 and PS3 both work as nice media centers, both with their strengths (PS3 storage and i think plays more file types?, 360 the literal media center extender)

Thanks will have to try that, so far only able to play Divx files... (some I forgot I had, spent alot of time watching old Bud & Bud Lite commercials I had downloaded )

Do you have it hardwired or wifi networked? I have no trouble with hi bit rates on HD camcorder output. I have mine hard wired though.

Hardwired... my HD camcorder files are quicktime and it will read some of them.

Perhaps the issue is quicktime. My HD cam clips are AVCHD, running 15-20mbit/sec and the PS3 handles in native format without issue. Maybe it is a Sony/Sony thing since the camera is sony too.

I too use the PS3 media server to feed other types of files.
