But how would i need to change the profile of my file?
My FV HD+ box is able to play ALL my .avi files with no problems. even .mkv. why would a hi-tech "entertainment device" such as a PS3 can't even find my files let alone play it?
This is, forgive me and I can't speak for other thread-contributors, becoming a bit tiresome.
You've been told how and why multiple times, the PS3 is not a super-dooper media player, it doesn't even come close i'm afraid, but it will, with some manipulation sometimes (e.g. profile levels being "incorrect", HD containers not being "correct"), play pretty much anything.
It won't play it because the profile of that file is too high, end of. You need to alter this profile via tsMuxer or some other program. Although I would suggest just getting a different file....or indeed purchasing the movie in the first place maybe ?!
As to why it's not even showing up, well, I don't know, I'm thinking that something is amiss here even before we go into codecs
