Thanks for replying. It's not the reader because it's a usb memory stick not a memory card and I checked all the usb ports with the charger cable and they all work. This is a very weird problem since it worked fine. With the problem where the files don't show up just highlight the memory stick and press triangle and hit show all then it will show all your movies even the ones that are not supported. That's what I did when the memory stick worked lol. Hopefully I can figure this out if anybody has anymore information please let me know. I might just end up calling sony since I have only had the ps3 for a month. Thanks for reading and helping.
