Can you copy a DVD or Bluray movie to a PS3 hard drive, if so how?
Yes you can. It is illegal. I am sharing this with you to educate you only. BLU-RAY DISCS Firstly, copying blu-ray movies to your PS3 is a big no-no. Basically, very few programs can crack the copy protection (those who can cost money to buy and are not guaranteed to work 100%). Secondly, if you do manage to crack it with a program, the actual process of copying would take ages because blu-ray movies are about 25GB in file size. (So if you have a 40GB PS3, you can fit 1 movie). If you want to download blu-ray movies from the internet, this would take time because the uploads tend to be 12-13GB each which could mean days downloading 1 movie. And after you would need to buy a blank blu ray disc and a blu-ray burner which costs alot. Finally why go through all this trouble when you can buy a blu ray film for a good price now? Just be a good citizen and buy legal films. DVD DISCS This is another story. DVDs are converted to 700MB files and are available to download from the internet quite easily, the copy protection has been long cracked and pirate DVDs are available everywhere. PS3 will be able to play them if the movie file is DivX encoded (most films are which is lucky). To find and download films go to torrent sites such as www.mininova.org or www.isohunt.com or www.piratebay.org and search for a film. Copy the file onto a memory stick and put it onto your PS3 for playback.
Can I use a Blu-ray player, PS3 or XBox One as a disk drive for my computer?
First, you can't use a console as a disc drive. Console manufacturers expect you to buy games and other content, if you buy a console expecting it to work as an accessory, they lose money.Second, you can't use a console disc drive on your PC without serious hacking. This is a known way to dump console disc content so the manufacturers lock down the drive. You have to reverse engineer the drive command/authorization protocols and keys in order for your PC to use the drive, which is already a pain in the ass for Xbox 360 and not possible at all for Xbox one.For PS console series, forget it entirely. The drives are integral to the console. It does not have a standard SATA connector and sometimes even the controller board because everything is built into the console MB.If you are willing to invest all the time and effort to work out all these problems, why not just buy a blu-ray drive? It's like 20 bucks. Seriously somebody is not thinking straight.And incidentally, you shouldn't transfer your blu-ray titles to your PC. Doing so is copyright infringement. If you don't care about that, just download pirated copies from the internet, why go through all these troubles to dump the disc?
