Anyone have any ideas why they dont work? I did a clean format on my machine! So its going great just that now some divx files dont work... or is there a program that i can use to make divx files work on the PS3? Thanks in advance!

SnowRanger13 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 i heard PS3 is using old Divx 3.?? version. correct me if im wrong. No anything 3.11 and newer it supports. Up to the current 6.8 is it? So anything 3.10 or older doesn't work. I have dome Xvid files that won't play but I think it's a Audio Codec issue :(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerolimit Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 I figured it out! codec was xvid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huleboeren Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I figured it out! codec was xvid! It CAN play xvid files :p Keep looking ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etempest Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 DivX is Avi but Avi is NOT Divx. Avi is just a container to hold video and audio. Xvid standard is so close to DivX that a lot of Xvid (which also use avi container) will play depending on how it was encoded. Ps3 is just like any other "DivX Certified Device".

morficus Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 yeah, same here. any xvid encoded videos won't play on my PS3, while dvix plays fine. I just re-encode the videos as dvix. not a huge issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNay Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 DivX and Xvid both play on the PS3, but only certain versions of those codecs (same goes for the 360). The Xvid codec used in the video might be old and reason why it doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[DGS] Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Just a quick note.. our PS3 is not a "Certified DivX" machine YET! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huleboeren Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Its not? What does it have to do to pass ? :s Is it that it is not fully compatible with all files or ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
