 +PS3 will resume playback on a file, even after a restart.

 +==== USB ====
  
 **Very Important:** When putting media on a removable device (USB) for playback on the PS3, there must be a ''VIDEO'' directory at the root level of the filesystem.  The PS3 ignores all other files out there.  I only found that out because I copied a downloaded video from PSN to a USB stick, and noticed it created that.  I hadn't been able to get it to play back any videos before than. **Very Important:** When putting media on a removable device (USB) for playback on the PS3, there must be a ''VIDEO'' directory at the root level of the filesystem.  The PS3 ignores all other files out there.  I only found that out because I copied a downloaded video from PSN to a USB stick, and noticed it created that.  I hadn't been able to get it to play back any videos before than.

-Video +Bleh. I lost interest in documenting all of this, I'm sure it at least supports what's available on the [[Sony Blu-ray Players]] though. I can say for certain though that it //does not// stream VC1 or support playback on USB or its HDD. MPEG2 does work though.

-Format profile                           : LC + 
-Codec ID                                 : 40 +The PS3 will do one of two things if it can't play back an audio file with a certain codec -- either display "Unsupported Data" on the file itself, or if it's the only file in the directory, it will say "There are no tracks". 
-Duration                                 : 1mn 5s + 
-Source duration                          : 1mn 5s +For video, it may error out in a few more situations. It may show the video icon when first browsing a directory, but when going to playback, will display "The data type is not supported" screen, and then change the icon in the directory to the "Unsupported Data" one. 
-Bit rate mode                            : Constant + 
-Bit rate                                 : 98.2 Kbps +I ran into one combination where the player starts, but the PS3 stops -- a DVD in .MPG. I could stop the PS3 with the PS button, but that was it. It crankily beeps at me a few times when I do (also sometimes). 
-Nominal bit rate                         : 128 Kbps + 
-Channel(s)                               : 2 channels +For resume playback on DLNA, the PS3 will remember last play point on all files it had been playing during the same power-on session. It does not remember them after a restart. 
-Channel positions                        : Front: L R + 
-Sampling rate                            : 48.0 KHz +Amazingly, the PS3 will let you copy a file straight from a DLNA server to its hard drive!!!!! I managed to copy a Blu-ray I'd ripped on my desktop over to the PS3 this way. :) 
-Compression mode                         : Lossy + 
-Delay relative to video                  : 33ms +Incidentally, the one I used, had Dolby TrueHD audio for the only English track, so I had to re-encode it to Dolby Digital. The PS3 doesn't support PGS (subtitles), so I just dropped those.
