Just a quick question. Im FW 1.7, and Im trying to figure out why some mpeg files play, and others dont.

I thought it was a 1080i/720p thing, but I have both 1080i shows and 720p shows that playback fine. Some are 5.1 others are 2 channel.

I cannot figure out for the life of me what is playable on the ps3.

Does anyone know the restrictions on mpeg play back, or why some work and some dont? Is there a way I could scan the files to find differences between playable ones and not playable?

Have you tried with the latest firmware? It has better codec support, especially for MPEG-4. Which region is your PS3?
