3D TV SET UP

[davek22]

I took the plunge and bought a Samsung 3D tv this week. It came with free glasses and 3D Megamind Blu ray disk. I know I play that and some of my games with my PS3 in 3D but I have a question on some other 3D content.
Last year I bought an Acer Laptop which had a passive 3D screen and polarized glasses. Desperate for content I downloaded some 3D films. These films are "half SBS" mkv files. I can play them in 3D on my laptop using stereoscopic player software.
Does anyone know if I burn them to a blank Blu ray would the PS3 play them in 3D on my 3D tv? They are huge files, up to 15 gig for Avatar.
Edit: just to add, I don't have the tv yet otherwise I would just give this a try. Also if the PS3 can't play these files in 3D would an external 1080p media player do it? I have a Sumvison Cyclone Primus that i use for film playback at the moment with enough space on it for all the 3D film files

My old Samsung UE40C7000 (before it died on me) was brilliant for reading files straight from usb. I have a whole hard drive full of SBS 3D films and it played all perfectly - all plugged into the 1st usb socket on the TV itself.

For me, the PS3 wouldn't read the files.

I'm not an expert on the PS3, but there's no point burning them to blank Blu-Ray, it won't magically turn the files into actual Blu-Ray discs, it'll just be a really expensive way of storing them. If you can play them at all on the PS3 (which I doubt, at least without jailbreaking and using homebrew software) you might as well just do it off a USB hard drive.

Are the films not available on real 3D BD?

I never thought about that, if it reads them directly from the built in USB player that would be fantastic

Lyris, i mainly want this for Avatar. It's only available on 3DBR via mail in promotion.
I already bought 6 3D blu rays of the other films I grabbed from online. Downloading those huge SBS files is very time consuming, I prefer to buy the disks if they are out there

Ah yes, Avatar and the Panasonic exclusivity...

either play them from a usb drive or connect tv to youre main computer and stream them using the media player built into the tv. thats what i do with my samsung 3dtv and its over a year old so the newer panels should at the least do the same.
