I'm looking for the above to use to play VOB files converted from MKV files via MKV2VOB on my PS3.
I don't need transcoding or anything else fancy, just a simple program that will enable me to turn on my PC, turn on my PS3, and then navigate on the PS3 to the folder on my PC where the file I want to play is, then copy it over and play.
I have the latest WMP at the moment, which has worked once successfully but now refuses to see the files I need for some unknown reason, and I've never liked WMP anyway.
Any ideas? What does everyone else use?
EDIT: By the way, I know VOBs need renamed to MPG to be recognised in WMP.

I've always used Tversity - works like a dream (if you can look past the clunky interface). You can turn on/off/when-needed transcoding on a per-folder level now, which is good for those problem avis. http://www.tversity.com/home

Thanks, but I've already tried TVersity and didn't really like it too much.
Is there really nothing that just does the simple task I specified above?

Since your task is simple, I would try to make WMP work. I don't see a point in installing anything new just to do one task. Can you elaborate on the "refuses to see the files"?

But that's what Tversity does. I turn on my PS3 and all the files are there to either copy or stream. The only management required is to create a folder to share, then refresh it (or let it auto-refresh more frequently).

Never mind, I've got the latest MKV2VOB now and that can split files, allowing me to use DVDs or a memory stick to transfer them to my PS3.
