But, I have to say, I'm amazed at the functionality that Sony continues to add to the PS3 via firmware updates. I never expected divx, but what a nice surprise! ]]>Nov 13th 2007 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/13/divx-playback-headed-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/13/divx-playback-headed-for-the-ps3/
The GPU and wireless are locked down by hypervisor, I understand. I won't buy one until that changes.]]>Nov 13th 2007 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/13/divx-playback-headed-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/13/divx-playback-headed-for-the-ps3/Nov 13th 2007 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/13/divx-playback-headed-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/13/divx-playback-headed-for-the-ps3/
Great, thanks for the NEXT reason I'm gonig to read on every forum as to why people won't buy it.

"Company presenter Kevin Hell was apparently caught off-guard when asked about how the Xbox 360 would interact with Microsoft's update to its Windows Media Extender feature that provided DivX support, at first confirming the addition outright but backtracking to say only that DivX was holding "discussions with Microsoft" over the prospect. The addition would provide enthusiasts with native support for many of their videos without having to use special software on the Xbox itself or a nearby PC to transcode videos on the fly."]]>Nov 13th 2007 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/13/divx-playback-headed-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/13/divx-playback-headed-for-the-ps3/

Divx/Xvid was playable through the supported DLNA-server on the PS3 using programs like TVersity which would stream them from your PC. But native playback is 100% better then re-encoding it via your DLNA server.]]>Nov 13th 2007 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/13/divx-playback-headed-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/13/divx-playback-headed-for-the-ps3/Nov 13th 2007 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/13/divx-playback-headed-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/13/divx-playback-headed-for-the-ps3/Nov 13th 2007 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/13/divx-playback-headed-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/13/divx-playback-headed-for-the-ps3/Nov 13th 2007 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/13/divx-playback-headed-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/13/divx-playback-headed-for-the-ps3/

the only disadvantage is less software utilites work natively with it, to be safe you'd have to demux your mkv, apply your filters or transcode or whatever in raw or avi, and then remux into mkv.]]>Nov 13th 2007 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/13/divx-playback-headed-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/13/divx-playback-headed-for-the-ps3/

I have been bitter over converting mass amounts of video files to mp4 (sometimes these conversions don't come out right, they look bad, audio doesn't come out properly) - this is the BEST thing that can happen to the PS3 for the average downloading tech head. Sure, the format is widely used in illegal downloading - but the fact that it's an overwhelmingly popular format (and has been demanded for such a long time) by users perhaps made this possible - not sure what encouraged Sony to decide to support .avi, but I won't question it! I'm actually surprised more users aren't posting on this thread, this has been HUGELY requested since day one!]]>Nov 13th 2007 3:53PM
