Synikal Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Hello, I'm sorry if this has been asked probably hundreds of times but there is so many forum threads to go through it would take ages to find and hopefully its a simple answer. But anyway, I'm wondering how to burn a .mpg video file (or any at that matter) so that it will play on my PS3. I've already gotten it to work, but it just burns it as a data disc and I have to go through a bunch of folders to get to the .mpg video file before I can play it which is quite annoying. I guess what I am asking is how would I burn it so that when I select the disc on my PS3 it would begin playing the video without me having to browse the contents on the disc first. Any help is very appreciated, Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Put it in the root folder of the disc, then you won't have to 'browse' anything. If you want to convert it to DVD Video format, use something like DVD Flick or ConvertXtoDVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never get an option of where it's going to put the video file on the disc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 If you're in 'Standard' Input mode, it would already be going to the root folder if all you've done is dragged it into the 'Source' box. If you're in Advanced input mode, it should be obvious where things are going. If it isn't ending up there, you've probably enabled the 'Preserve Full Pathnames' option. Turn it off again.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 You follow one of the DVD Video guides in the Guides section. Easiest way, just drag+drop the VIDEO_TS folder. ImgBurn will take care of the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
