In fact, most of the PS3 users have given it a whirl, but frustratingly some PS3 users meet some trouble when they intend to stream/copy video/movie files more than 4GB to PS3. In this page, we will offer you the easy solution.
Solution one: Transfer to PC and then stream videos/movies to PS3 via TVersity without file size limitation.

For example, the Xbox 360 does not support most codecs. TVersity Media Server transcodes the video on the PC into a compatible codec and then streams it to the device.
Before start streaming, you need to download and install the best TVersity on your PC.
