Can anyone help me?  These inspired me to go out and get a PS3(I wanted one anyway, I swear) and I still cant get a version worth watching.  

My IMAC G5 has failed mid-burn with 4 DL discs so I gave up on that (I was just burning the ISO right to the disc and burning like a data disc).  I then put the ISO right on my external hard drive and of course the PS3 wouldnt recognize anything on that (I guess I would need to reformat...Fats or something...whatever) so then I spent 40 bucks on a converter program (AVCWare Mac Video Converter) in an attempt to convert it to a DVD format so I could at least Burn it as a standard DVD on popcorn.  Well 10 hours later I converted it to DVD format but it only created a VOB, not the Video_TS folder that I had anticipated.  Popcorn wont recognize the VOB so I stalled on that.  I then just tried to put the VOB file on the PS3 because I read they can play those but the movie stutters and is cropped (not full wide screen).....I think I abused the green too much in my 20s cuz as much I try to research these things I just end up clueless and frustrated.   What generous soul can offer some advice?

I'm on an intel iMac and had no trouble burning the iso with Disk Utility. Have you given that a try?

 

Yes, try Disk Utility first. Under the "Images" pull down menu, select "Burn..." On my Intel MacBook, I burned SW with Toast in OS X and Empire with ImgBurn in Windows 2000 through VMware Fusion. Both worked without issue. The main thing is that you're not burning the ISO file as a data disc. That will not work. I can vouch that both play perfectly on my PS3. Oh yeah, and don't use crappy media...
