ps3. getting video from your pc to ps3

Not as simple as one might believe, but not so hard either, actually it´s a walk in the park once you´ve done it the first time.

first of all, get a wireless network in your household if you dont have one, makes things so much easier for you and your family.

netgear´s a pretty neat brand, which we use and make sure to get the .n products.
Best bang for the bucks.

so, from me to you.
1. get a router (.n rangemax will do the trick), pluck it into your adsl modem and install it on your pc.

2. get a wireless adapter for your pc, unless it has built in .n wifi support, most lap and desktops with wifi support only covers b and g.

3. once the pc and router is up and running, change your ps3 network settings.
and yep, you´re right our beloved ps3 only supports g and not .n but paying up for good quality .n gears for your router and pc is a better solution then going for cheaper b.g gears.

Now head on over to Redkawa.com from your pc and download ps3 video 9 and red kawa file server.

That´s the software you´ll need to convert your videos to a ps3 friendly format and transfer the films to your ps3 so you can enjoy em on your hdtv instead of the pc monitor.

ps3 video 9

and

redkawa file server

Once you´ve converted that episode of heroes or your own family video, or your backup of your expensive lotr dvd to the listed ps3 format, fire up the redkawa fileserver and start your ps3.

browse to your fileserver ip with your ps3 web browser and just click on the movie, it will download right to your ps3´s video folder where you can use your sixaxis or bd.ray remote to enjoy it.

This is btw a smooth way of transfering your music collection from your pc to your ps3 aswell.

Now, im sure i dont need to remind anyone that this is all perfectly legal to do, as long as you own the content that´s located on your pc.

And for your own sake, please turn off the file server once you´r done, it will otherwise be a potential security risk with which others could gain access to your pc,network.
