Every movie I obtain in avi format 99% of the time simply works fine on my PS3.  All I do is download, & move to my PS3 HDD & all works just fine.  I have maybe 100+ movies on my PS3.  Are you just trying to get better quality movies to play there, like blueray rips or something?  I think one out of every 30 won't play on my PS3, it'll show up until I try to play it & then says data not supported or something like that...Then I just use total video converter to convert it.

i tried to copy over .mkv movie but was't suported,. can you play .mkv files<>?

No.

A simple Video Re-encode to MP4 in h264 format should work fine.

Try demuxing and remuxing it as an M2TS video (if the video has DTS audio) or MP4 (for most other cases)
although, if your video has a higher REF count than 9 it won't work and/or
if the FPS is not 23.976, 29.970, or 59.940 it won't work
most bluray rips that I have encountered, though, usually meet these criteria
Try using multiAVCHD (M2TS)

MKV?  If the video stream complies with H.264 L4.2 (many are) you can try something like tsMuxeR and remux it into an MP4 without converting.

No hardware player supports MKV.

Demux the MKV, remux to MP4, hope the h.264 is not created using settings that don't work on the PS3.

Reference frame count depends on the frame size of the video, and is limited by the buffer size of the device. Larger frame size means each frame takes more space means the buffer can store less frames before running out. So if your video is 1080p, you can only use about 4 ref frames, while if your video is 480p, even 16 should be fine. So not always 9, that's for 720p.

As for the fps, I don't own a PS3, so I don't really know, but theoretically, shouldn't anything work? (I mean even the PSP can work with prety much anything).

Hmmm....

But then it's so rare that you probably won't have any of those. And even if they support MKV, it's only partial support, so all the extra stuff that makes MKV > all the other containers probably aren't supported, so you may as well use MP4.

Exactly.

I didn't know that
thanks for the useful knowledge
although I've seen 720p video with REF 16 which won work on PS3
I know there's a limitation on FPS on AVCHD video so as to comply with the AVCHD standard
but it's probably not as limited in MP4 (Haven't tried anything else other than 23.976 and 60 to stay on the safe side)

4 for 1080, 9 for 720 are profile restrictions, not actually hardware restrictions I think. It's probably one of these things that depend more on the particular hardware and the video, so you may be able to do more than these numbers, but to be safe, sticking to them should always work.

Anyway, if you want some more info on this, this is a good thead to look at.
