you can but i prefer ripping to hdd and then converting from that copy. i get more reliable results this way or so it seems. :)

and personal preference; i'm old skool (i was backing up dvds when it was a 12 hr process/remux/convert/ifoedit, hehe)

or use a DVD+RW DL / DVD-RW DL and burn as a UDF dvd. this way you can reuse the dvd and get over the 4gb fat32 file limit that usb drives have when you copy to ps3 :)

(remember, PS3 can ONLY read external hdds/usb hdds taht are formatted in FAT32. IT WILL NOT READ NTFS!)

Why not just use DVDEncryptor as shown above…. but then just rename the extension to .MPG

That way you weed out having to codec it again through Handbrake and as a mpg file its ready to be played through the ps3.

Although that's having your ps3 hard wired from a NAS….. works like a charm

Personally, I just pop the disc in, rip it with DVDShrink to .iso, then use MagicISO to mount it, point handbrake to the virtual drive and rip to the PS3 format.

Done and faster.

get a flash drive with some space on it and plug it in and watch.

Mate that with handbrake is DEAD easy. With AnyDVD I can do this direct without any inbetween decoding step. W00T!!! THANKS!

If you don't rip the DVD into one big VOB file, you won't have problems with drive formatting limitations. A traditional DVD rip results in multiple VOB files that together add up to more than 4 GB, but are each individually under the 4 GB limit for FAT32.

Handbrake can read a VIDEO_TS folder full of VOB files with no problem, so there's really no reason to roll them all up into one massive file.
