Re: PS3 Video Server, Media Server Preliminary Setup and Tests


I finally got it to work. I ended up putting 3 DVDs onto the hard drive. I am very happy with the way this is working. Thank you very much for working on this system and posting the procedure for us. I was torn whether to use the Vista Media Server with a hard drive already on my computer or the PS3 with a WD 1TB external Hard drive that I bought. Right now I am really liking the PS3 version.

So far it is working very well in principle but I do have some questions. The first DVD I installed froze on me. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

With DVD Shrink which reading do we use to set the compression? I realize we have to keep the file under 4gb. So are we using the file size on the left side across from title or the size listed above compression on the right side. I am asking because I think one of the movies I installed is ending too soon so maybe I set the compression wrong.

Thanks again.

One other question. Do we have to use subfolders if we are not doing a series?
