XviD on the PS3 not working...


Recommended Posts

For about 90% of my xvid encoded movies I get "Unsupported Data". I've been re-encoding the movies to divx and then they'll play fine, but does anyone know of an easier way to get them playing? I tried changing the FourCC from xvid to divx but that doesn't help. Anyone got any tips other than using vdub to convert the movies?

Weird - about 10% of my xvid encoded movies I get "Unsupported Data" :s

I think the X360 is better suited as it isnt as picky as the PS3 when it comes to xvids and WMV-HDs

My issue is when it's detecting all the various subfolders, they don't all appear right away. Sometimes, the Video files don't come up. I end up restarting, then They come up. Sometimes @ this point, I start getting the unsupported data error. If I do, I restart yet again, Eventually It works.

I find this odd...

This is weird, I get the same issue. I have to use my XBOX to play most (if not all) of my movies.

Are these your own movies you encode? ...hint...

What settings do you use?

How do you play them on your PS3 - through streaming? tversity?

I play mine by copying to the HDD from USB.

I get help making my backups from a friend so I don't know the settings... They're all XviD. When I use vdub to convert them to DivX (the version with a DX50 fourcc) they work fine on the PS3... its just a pain converting them and I was wondering if theres anything more quicker/less space consuming.

I encoded them all in XViD using VirtualDub. Audio is converted to LAME. I find it strange how it works 100% on XBOX but not at all on PS3.

Perhaps your settings are too high

For HD content I dont recommend using xvid/divx

I hope future PS3 firmwares up the support for xvid/divx/WMV-HD
