Alright guys, PS3 Media Server is a new program so much easier to set up than TVersity. It’s Java based, works for Windows or Linux and capable of transcoding any HD content to your PS3 with subtitles on the fly.
Check out the features here.
Download it here. Latest version v1.10.5.
Okay for those people who followed my TVersity guide, you should install Vista Codec Pack and remove “ffdshow-tryouts” although it isn’t necessary. (Btw, I’m still using ffdshow-tryouts!)
Playing the video files (some extracted from Readme)
- Get and install AVISynth 2.5.7 from here (2.5.8 has issues)
- Install codec pack, I recommend Vista Codec Pack. (Btw, I’m using ffdshow-tryouts, installation tips right at the end of this page)
- Set up the FFDShow Audio Decoder Config > Mixer to your preference, or this one 5.1 (3/0/2 LFE)
- Set “Autoload VSFilter” to Yes in Haali Splitter settings. *if necessary*
- Configure Haali Splitter (audio/subtitles language priorities) *if necessary*
- You can have optional codecs i.e. CoreAVC, Quicktime Alternative and Real Alternative.
Mencoder settings:
- There’s nothing much to tweak for this program as it runs perfectly fine after install.
- Go to Navigation/Share settings and add the folder you want your video files played.
- Download “VSFilter.dll” here. Place it inside Avisynth’s plugin folder found in “Program Files/Avisynth 2.5/plugin”.
- Go to Transcoding Settings to change your Video quality, I use Good Quality and everything plays without stuttering.
*- Change “Avisynth/Mencoder” to 1st priority by clicking the Up/Down arrow on the bottom.*
If your PS3 detects the Media Server, everything should play up nicely!
Notes
To install ffdshow-tryouts, download the latest:
- Uninstall all your codecs first!! Uninstall Haali if you have it!
For Windows Vista DON’T use Unicode.
Other version of Windows (i.e. 2000/XP) use Unicode.
This might have changed, as newer filters just have Unicode versions. Don’t worry, install and try for yourselves, if it works, good. Not? try another one. I have provided the old links just in case.
We have to install the splitters manually.
Update: All updates and proper methods are updated at the new website.

Following up to the guide on using PS3 Controller in Windows, here’s another one to use it via Bluetooth. And now it has vibration support as well! Hope this guide helps! Also, for those who want to copy anything from my guide please do inform me. I hate it when people just claim everything was their own work. Some of the methods are discovered by myself so credit me!
- Firstly, we need to download some files!
*Updated Games for Windows setup and DLL files (i.e. The Last Remnant) *Added Mirrors Edge and FEAR2:Project Origin button mapping. *Added Tomb Raider Underworld PC button mapping. *Added Prince of Persia PC button mapping *Button mapping for Silent Hill Homecoming works using TR:U setting *Dead Space PC works with PS3 controller (SIXAXIS / Dualshock3).
- OK, here goes!
Well, this is one of my tips for those Vista and XP users who wants to use their SIXAXIS or Dualshock 3 controller.
*Update 20th March 2009 – New Windows Dualshock 3 Drivers from japanese coder and new layout.
*Update 2nd November 2008 - Notes on WinSIXAXIS implementation. Read towards the end.
- I’ve updated this post and divided into Four Methods. I’m not using wired anymore but I’ll test if I have free time. Please please spend a little on a bluetooth dongle! It works wonders!!!
- Method A is the first and original method (did not work for me)
- Method B is my preferred method.
- Method C is an improvement of Method A, utilizing PPJoy but not for Dualshock 3.
- Method D is the latest and drivers created by a Japanese coder. This should be the BEST method, currently.
UPDATE: NEW software PS3 Media Server better than TVersity. Guide right HERE.
There are tons of guides to help you do this but I thought I would make a little guide myself for bloggers on WP. Most anime and drama series now use ASS/SSA subtitle format or the much more conventional SRT files so ffdshow would work for everyone. This method should also let you load an external srt subtitle file for your video. This guide should for for Vista 64-bit too.

Finished the exams last week, been studying for a whole month for the final 2 weeks of exams not to mention the amount of assignments handed to us weeks before the end of sem 1. Bah, we’re all done with that now :) and I’ll get to enjoy the ps3 weeee. Jo ordered the bundle from play-asia. I like the gun metal gray MGS4 version. Very sleek scratch resistant i would say compared to the Piano black ps3’s. White ps3 is pretty too :). Stuff that came with the Limited edition premium pack was the blu-ray dvd with all the extra goodies.
Story of the Year was really really good this time around. And we get to see Adam Russell cut his hair omG! I didn’t believe he would really do it. As usuals nice cover songs from the band. They even played “Umbrella”! Much better than the Vanilla Sky’s cover. SOTY should release an album with all the covers they made. It’ll sell like hotcakes. Still deciding whether to go to “Escape the Fate”…
WWE draft recently has been making quite a scene recently. Jim Ross to SD!? Can’t believe Vince would actually be screwing with him over and over again. I guess that Vince really hates fat people in general, or sees it as a weakness. Triple H, to SD! isn’t a good idea but the brand needs some juice. Oh well, Batista is back to RAW and Rey Mysterio? Hmm.. not a good idea.
There goes the start of holidays, I’m sure it’ll be a quiet one…
Beating “Boss Extreme” mode in under 5 hrs is pain in the arse. I got 3 hrs, quite a respectable time I would say. Cheers.
