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.
