"Importing" one Project to TV Standards.

I've made a huge 89GB file something like 1,5GB using the H264 codec.

The problem is I'd like to be able to view this video on Television.

This means being able to create a readable file for normal DvD Players (This Mp4 isn't read by the Ps3 neither), what can I do?

If you want to see a video with a dvd player, compressing with XVID or DIVX will do. It will weight more than the H264 and the quality might be inferior, but it's more compatible. The PS3 is able to play divx files anyway, so it won't be a problem.

Failing that (which I don't think it will happen), you can try to make an mpg file, but you'll have an even higher file weight and perhaps more quality loss.

Thanks a lot, I was trying indeed with Xvid.

Well, now that I have the possibility I'll try to ask something that goes a little Off Topic.

As you can imagine I do have a Ps3 System, but no HDTV. So the Video exit as 576i.
Now, when I see 4:3 or 16:9 videos (I have a 16:9 28' Television) the bottom always doesn't fit. In other words: No Subtitles with Anime. They're just cut off and I've tried every single option to fix this. Do you have any idea why the console do that?

In all seriousness, Sony assumes that if you have the money and desire to buy their next-gen console you have the money and desire to buy the appropriate TV to connect it to (or, more realistically, that you already have one).

It's not about the console nor about the tv... even HD tvs do have the overscan, smaller, but they do cut a certain amount of the border of the image. The best thing would be manually adding some black borders and resizing before encoding... you'll loose some definition, but the borders that will be cut out will have just the black and not the subs.
