PS3 and Mov (from nikon)

**In2survive** · 10-15-2011, 08:35 AM

Hi there, I'M trying to find a DLNA server that can stream my .mov files (created by my Nikon d5100) to my PS3.
However, when I use mezzmo, I get "unsupported media" when I try to play.

I thought it was going to be supported as the specs mention mov format. Am I missing anything?

Thanks!

Hi,

Can you please right-click on the file and post the output of the "Get FFmpeg Information" command?

Also, please tell me which device profile you are using.

I'm interested as well. Just bought a D7000 (may or not be exactly the same format as the D5100 but certainly very close. The D5100 has 30fps, I believe).
I got it to work by running it through VideoRedo and converting to mpeg ps but that's cheating.

Streaming to a Sony KDLHX700.

We found that most of the time the PS3 fails to decode streams that are encoded in QT format (see metadata). Try the "Sony Playstation 3" device profile and it should transcode such files.

The Bravia should already be transcoding these files, so perhaps that fails? Can you please send in logs (see this thread: http://forum.conceiva.com/showthread...nostic-logging).

That is exactly what we want to avoid!

If I convert, it also works with TVersity or PS3 Media Server. I'm trying to find a software to avoid this process.

Lets see what we the support guys reply, I'm hopping they can tell us what to do. I would be happy to buy the app if this works (so far I have the DEMO).

If the PS3 cannot decode this file natively, then there's nothing we can do. Try copying it to the PS3 and see if it plays from there.

I'll try now with Playstation 3 profile, but I'm pretty sure it will be the same result. I was hoping that Mezzmo would transcode to a supported format. However, I'm not sure the issue is the format, I'm getting the a different message
"The folder could not be accessed.
The file could have been deleted from the media server..."

It is intersting that I can olny find the file under "File Type --> Mov", but not under folder.

**Paul** · 10-17-2011, 03:06 PM

Yes, as I said previously, the "Sony Playstation 3" device profile will transcode those files. The "Compatible" one won't.

**In2survive** · 10-17-2011, 03:28 PM

I must do be doing something very wrong... I've been playing with a few different apps. I just realized that I can't even browse pictures, I get the same message as above "Folder could not be accessed..."
I'll spend more time on it tomorrow. I'm starting to think it is problem with the interface between the controller and the chair!
