The main draw back to FAT32 is that it has a 4 gig file size limitation:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314463I believe MC Tyler is Mr. Video like myself and meant to say NTFS not NTSC, though maybe it makes sense that FAT32 would hang with PAL while NTFS and NTSC would get along famously. Thanks for the swiss knife link! Anyone know of a way to schedule my PS3 to play certain vids at certain times?

You can simply put a FAT32 partition on your drive and do it that way. You can do that in windows without downloading anything.

PS3 (last i checked) only reads flash drives and hard drives formated in FAT32, not NTSC. Large hard drives come formatted in NTSC, and windows XP and vista will not format large hard drives into NTSC, so you have to download other software on your comp in order to format your hard drive to fat32. Then it will read music, video, pics that are the correct file types that PS3 can read. Also system update your ps3 so it can read as many files as possible. Download this program to format: http://www.compuapps.com/download/Swissknife/swissknife.htm

There are several ways to display the images from the camera: 1) Take the SD card out of the camera and insert into the slot on the viewer 2) Copy files to a USB drive and then you plug in the viewer and then can access the USB drive and display. 3) Connect the HDMI connector port on the camera to the HDMI port on the viewer. See page 22 of the Viewer Manual. It tells you to use a Type A HDMI, and it can be directly connected. Then you have to select the HDMI input in the View menu. Good luck...

this hard drive works in a PS3 I am using this in my PS4 and it works great I use 1TB hard drive in my PS3 I buy and download all my games from the PlayStation Store . you say you are having issue with the video and sound could be the hard drive is going bad or the inside of the ps3 has a lot of dust in it you can try canned air and blow the dust out of the ps3 and see how that works just make sure your ps3 is off when you use the canned air I ended up getting the god of war bundle red ps3 how long have you had your ps3

MJ@NeweggRating: Review Date: 07/21/09Great drive works well with ps3Cons: Not any yet and hopefully never. Pros: This is a really good drive and comes already formatted in FAT32 so you can plug right into the ps3. It is really small and quiet. Comment:

I have last years model (605) and wondered the same thing. if you're looking for your TrueHD to light up on your receiver - it wont. Your PS3 won't send TrueHD via bitstream (to be converted by your receiver), so you won't see the light. The PS3 offers only internal decoding of this and DTS-HD, which means you'll need to send an already decoded signal (via PCM, NOT bitstream) to your receiver and run your receiver on "Direct" to play it. You'll get TrueHD sound/signal, but your receiver won't ever light up "TrueHD". You can run the "display" setting on your PS3 though which will show your outputing the TrueHD signal to your receiver. The light won't "light" up though. Info on this can be found on the net, or in your PS3 manual. Hope it helps.

Even I am looking for a similar answer. Please let me know if this or some other one that particularly works with PS3. Thanks

From my limited understanding, the PS3 uses a FAT32 file system and not a NTFS. Someone said the Iomega wont work with a PS3 because it uses NTFS. Not exactly sure what all this means since Im not a techie, but I am also hoping to buy this Western Digital if it works with PS3 rather the replacing and switching my 40g PS3 harddrive.

Quick questions as i am looking to buy this. When you say older PS3 what do you mean? My PS3 is the first gen 80gb and im wondering if I will have problems. Thanks

No, the PS3 will format the drive for you with no problems. Pretty much plug and play. I HIGHLY recommend backing up your original PS3 hard drive before swapping. Then, simply plug it in. It will format. Then restore your files. All will be well. It will not mess up your PS3. I tried using a solid state drive. That didn't work at all. Crashed a couple of times. Since I've used this drive...no problems. It works great. I was able to download and install DC Universe!!! Which took forever to download and install, but with this big a drive it was no problem at all.

Hello, I know the Playstation 3 playbacks avchd video straight from the memory stick pro duo used in Sony's avchd video cameras. Maybe you should try your card on a playstation 3 and see if It can playback the video. Hope this helps.

I've had mine now for about two years and have a 3TB Seagate External hard drive attached to it via the USB port. The 3TB model has an external power connection. Thus, it is not powered by the USB port. Having said that, I use mine for watching my movie collection that I have converted from VHS and DVD to mp4. I have had no issues accessing the drive nor using the Sony remote to scroll through files and find the content I want. A nice upgrade would be if the USB port were a USB 3.0 versus a USB 2.0, but as-is, it works fine for me.

When I first got my tv, I remember playing video files with it via a usb key. The last time I tried, it did not appear to work, and I recall recreating the files using handbrake or something in different formats, and was never able to make it work. I think I was about to unplug everything else and retry it when I gave up and put it on disk and played it through the blu-ray player. This is the link for my particular tv , which displays a list of the supported video formats. http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201104/20110427083150372/BN68-01691A-02Eng-110427.pdf I took a snap shot, but apparently can't paste or attach via this communication mode. ( sorry ) there were some avi modes listed. When I first got my tv, I remember playing video files with it via a usb key.

I believe the ps3's use the same kind of hard drive as a computer. Just be sure you reformat the drive so nothing is on it and when you plug it into your playstation, it will format to whatever the playstation uses.

Few questions1080 60p is not part of the AVCHD standard, it only goes as high as 1080 60iWas the AVCHD standard modified to now accept 1080 60p?Or is Sony using a proprietary format?I exclusively use the PS3 to playback my videos that I store on a USB external drive.Will the 1080 60p footage from this camera playback on a PS3?The previous model CX550 could not capture pictures while shooting video at the highest bit rate, is this still the case?Thanks for your input.
