Got LaCie 1tb External hard drive (ps3 question)

[Tegra_Devil]

so i got a 1tb external USB hard drive for my laptop to back up picture files and store some movies and i formated it with NTFS format, not FAT32(which ps3 recognizes)

i know i can probably connect it to my ps3 and manually open movies like i do when i watch movies directly off my ipod thru the ps3.

but to my question, now that i pretty much have 1TB of space, can i download blueray movie torrents and put them on my harddrive then run them through the ps3 to watch it on my 1080p tv. or am i fucked....id prefer to not have to convert files. but im getting bored of watching regular DVDrips on my 50" tv and the quality isnt horrible, but it is a little more blocky than a regular DVD being watched on my ps3...

AFAIK, PS3s don't recognize mkv files and afaik, bluray rips are mkv files?

using mkb2vob only takes a few minutes(literally) to "convert" a blu-ray rip to watch on the ps3


and i thought the ps3 was supposed to be able to play mkv files sometime soon via an update since many new players are adding that feature

hmmm, might have to buy that....or just start converting the files....but im too impatient to wait over 10mins for a movie to convert
