I suppose it's personal preference.. Having watched a few they are still better quality than a DVD or a movie over SD cable or freeview..

Plus MKV2VOB only takes a few seconds or so to change the MKV container to a VOB container that the PS3 can recognise.

as we talking about pleaying vob files on the PS3, with all the multiple file they have. how can you set the PS3 to play all the seperate files together without running to the end of one file and then selecting the other manually?

Just been looking on the net and come across the Western Digital box that is very similar to the Popcorn Hour, are they any good?
