 Okay, I have a guess about what's going on. I seem to recall seeing somewhere
that the PS3 will only play stereo sound off of flash media (and maybe
recordable DVDs?); the A52 audio codec (also called AC3) is multi-channel.

 It *might* be as simple as copying the file off the media to the PS3's
internal drive, and playing it from there. Worth a shot, anyway.

 Another format question: what's the container of the original file, i.e.
the 'extension'? It is "name.avi", or "name.mpg", or "name.mp4", or what?

 Sincerely,
