How to Play a DVD Image in a PS3 Media Center

Like many electronic devices, the PS3 plays CDs and DVDs other than those that contain video games. The PS3 plays movies, audio CDs and data CDs that contain images. If you already contain a data disc with images in an appropriate format, you can simply insert the disc into the PS3 and select the "Photos" option. If you do not have a properly formatted DVD, you must burn one using a DVD burning application.

Things You'll Need

DVD-RW

Instructions

- 1
  Convert the image to a PS3 compatible format, such as JPEG or BMP, using Adobe Reader, Preview or an image-editing program like Photoshop. Open the application by double-clicking its icon, and click on the "File" menu then select "Open File." Highlight the appropriate file and press OK. Click on the "File" menu and scroll to "Save As." Click on the drop-down menu and select an appropriate file-type; enter a file name and press "OK." Skip this process if your image is already in a playable format: JPEG, TIFF, GIF, BMP, PNG or MPF.
