This method lets you transfer video files to your PS3:

1) use the Red Kawa Video Converter with settings of MPEG-4 SP 768k to convert your video file.

2) By default this will create a video file in C:\Program Files\Red Kawa\Video Converter\Videos\PS3\MPEG4-SP

3) Drag the converted file to the default shared documents folder C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents

4) Make sure file sharing is enabled on your pc.

5) for the first time users if you want to check that your PS3 will be able to download the file load Red Kawa Media Center on your PC and attempt to download the file on your pc by going to My Files--> C--> Documents and Settings --> All Users --> Documents and click the file name. it should prompt a save box. you won't need to save the file given that it is on your pc and you'd be duplicating it but if the save box appears it wil work for your PS3

6) load your MCX up on your PS3 and navigate to the same place. Click the file, it'll transfer to your PS3 and sit in your video section.

7) watch

hope this helps.... FLV didn't work for me at all, nor did streaming

Also of note:

If you want to use a folder of your choice instead just make sure file sharing is enabled for that folder. You can also have the Video Converter put the newly created file in that same folder by going to Settings-->Devices in the Video Converter and altering the default destination of the MPEG4-SP files.

Did not understand (4) share which file, the file at the to location. On (5) you say attempt to load the file, what file and don't follow how clicking the file would prompt a save box. Say it does, then to what end? Where would you save it and why? You already have it in two locations? Guess I just don't follow the objective. I just added another approved download directory of Program Files/Red Kawa so I don't even have to copy or move the output files to any other folder. I copy them to PS3 from their original location.

I'm interested in understanding more of the process you described. Could you clarify a bit?

you're right, my post did lose clarity. i've edited it to make it more simple i think

i didn't share the entire contents of Red Kawa because there are too many folders to go through and having one folder for PS3 files is just about quicker.
