Playing footage on the PS3

[coalclear]

Hey all, I have exported a few shots from the dvx. I put them on a usb but unfortunately the PS3 doesnt recognize them (I thought the PS3 DID infact play avi files with ease) Anyways they do not work, I have to use AVS Tools to turn it into a MPEG (however for some odd reason it cuts the file size from 195megabytes down to about 9. Henceforth downsizing the picture bigtime and being a complete pain in the a**.

Any wisdom on this subject?

Probably a bit late to reply but press triangle on the USB and view all files - The ps3 can a lot of file formats including the AVCHD codec but for some reason you need to tell it to see them...
