I wish theyd just enable remoteplay during dvds and bluray movies.

They have no reason not to

they should just figure out how to let us rip our whole collection to our PSPs. Same with Apple's got-dang locked down hardware. Apple's content control for their rentals would be perfect. Let us play it once all the way through, then it disables. Rip it again to watch the digital copy again. Of course, this isn't Sony's issue, and I guess they are doing what they can, and it's pretty cool.

For all the blu-ray discs that i have seen that come with a Digital Copy, they store them on a 2nd disc. so this initiative they are doing is to eliminate the 2nd disc and push PS3 sales unless these discs can be put on PCs to rip the SD data.

So you buy Hogh Def Blu-Ray then copy a shitty Standard Def version onto the PS3????

Am I understanding this correctly?

Don't know what Hogh Def is.

And it's a handheld. Can't always have HD.

Christ dude it's a typo! So yes, you know exactly what it is. I hope you're smart enough to figure out the "i" & "o" are right next to each other...

And my question is more based on why you want a Standard Def version of something you own in Blu-Ray. That's so dumb.

Because there's no such thing as a portable Blu-Ray player. And I don't have to have a BD-ROM drive for my computer to crunch a HD movie into SD so I can take it with me.

My question still stands.. Why have a HUGE standard def film eating up HDD space? If it copies to ps3 then to PsP then deletes it, that sorta makes sense. But why would anyone keep/use that feature?? (assuming everyone with a PS3 has HD.)

And if it's for the sole reason to copy movies to PSP that's dumb because most solid Blu Ray titles come with a digital copy already.

I understand fine. Just seems like a big waste to me considering most movies (especially Blu-Rays) already come with a digital copy.

Maybe this is just a PS3 thing and I'm subconciously trolling. Srry.

You're only putting it on the damned hard drive so that you can transfer it to the PSP. PSP's don't have Blu Ray drives. How else do you think it could magically appear there? After that, I'm sure you can delete the thing from the PS3's HDD.

2 GB is kind of ridiculous for a movie with the resolution of a PSP screen. You can rip your own DVD movie and have it come out around 1 GB (I've seen them range from 700 MB to 1.4 GB). There is no way you would need higher than DVD quality on the PSP, you could even compress it and still probably get the same image quality on the PSP.

16 gigs could only store about 16ish movies minus whatever games you have! What if I feel like watching Godzilla and Angels and Demons and 8 other movies on the same day? What would I do then?

Agreed, actually when I rip a movie for the PSP a set a limit of 500MB using the H.264 encoder and it works great for a 2hr or less movie. My PSP Phat has a 32Gb Memory Stick and its full. If you're a media hound and like choice on the go, 16Gb is really not that big at all, IMHO. No way am I bothering with 2Gb digital copies.

Pretty much like how they can't handle a Godzilla movie.

2 GB for an SD video file? Wow, Sony, you REALLY suck at compression. Seriously, I store my movies in high-quality H.264 480p, averaging about 500 MB for a 90 minute flick.

I usually go a bit larger than that. Around 700-900 MB for most movies.

Using H.264? Probably a little overkill. I'm watching some stuff on my 32" 720p TV and it looks great, no noticeable compression artifacts at all (in fact looks identical to the standard 700 MB AVIs I converted them from).

Either way, 700 MB is still a third of what Sony is compressing things at, and probably looks identical.

Godzilla has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen...

I was 14 when Godzilla and Armageddon films were released... I really don't remember with which movie was, but in the middle of one those films, something inside me just clicked, and I literally thought: "What the fuck am I watching? Why am I watching this kind of movies?"

Since then, I try to see better movies, and I try to stay away from big budget Hollywood releases... I don't even want to know how bad the movie 2012 is...

Anyway, I guess this post deserves a "Cool story, bro", right?
