No. You have to convert it to Divx or Xvid.

And what is the best way to do that?

Thanks. One thing Google lacks though is personal experience. Has anyone done this and has software they would recommend?

It would be appreciated.

Download MKVtoVOB. It converts the file into PS3 playable in about 45 seconds or so. Keeps it in 720p and with DD5.1 surround also (if thats what the MKV file was)
