...OTOH, there is a good chance that both the PS3 and the BD player can
play certain formats directly off the disk without them being in some
sort of console format. This was very common with plain DVD players back
when I was still using those in my pre-myth days.
You might not even need an optical disk. You might be able to just plug
in the USB media of your choice. I would expect the main constraint would
be if you are planning on giving this recording to someone else with less
tech saavy.
