How do you know it's downscaling?

Is your PS3 set to play at 1080?

its hooked up through hdmi. on 1080p resolution, and i know it downscales because when i push Triangle (for information) (my 1080p videos) become mpeg 2 encoded, and a resolution of around lower than 720 x 640

Switch to PS3 Media server if you can. Also the program may be doing it because your connection can't sustain 1080p streaming.
