Has anyone tried playing HD Divx files with firmware 2.10? I tried it, it wont recognized the file.

I've downloaded some 1280x720 DivX/XviD files. works fine on my PS3.

Which site did you download the HD Divx? Provide us the link so we can give it a try.

Similar to animated, HD Divx works fine in my PS3.

also Sony at the CES has said they will update the PS3 to have BD2.0 profile

Looking positive at the moment.

No problem bro! 'Been inquiring na, share ko na lang sa 'yo. I was actually supposed to get one last December, it was just sidelined by another interest, rather, another way to be insane hehe.

question lang, why doesnt my ps3 read the *.avi file sa usb ko, but my dv600 is able to play it. fimware 2.1 gamit ko.

darkwing · « **Reply #639 on:** Jan 09, 2008 at 09:40 PM »

what's the codec? an AVI file is just a container kasi, and the PS3 only reads atm DivX certified AVI files

Ctlim · « **Reply #640 on:** Jan 09, 2008 at 10:20 PM »

filename is

heroes.s02e01.hdtv.XviD-XOR

file type says AVI video

darkwing · « **Reply #641 on:** Jan 09, 2008 at 10:59 PM »

hmmm i would guess this was encoded in a non-standard DivX way, haven't tried the 700mb downloads though, mostly yung 350mb lang, play naman lahat, its fun nga streaming to my PSP lols

choy · « **Reply #642 on:** Jan 10, 2008 at 02:17 AM »

and at the CES, Sony said some BluRay movies will include lower resolution versions that you can wifi over to your PSP and enjoy on-the-go

Finally gave in to the BD urge in me, bought me a PS3 today. hehehe Just finish up updating to 2.1 firmware and downloaded the folding@home. Time to test some movies

PS3 can crunch folding at a faster rate than say a single or dual core pc.

Guys, i suggest you check out http://www.pinoypsx.com/ your PS3 questions are being answered there ^_^

jeyps11_c · « **Reply #651 on:** Jan 17, 2008 at 06:08 AM »

Finally got my PS3...40GB lang kasi my main reason for buying is the BR capability.
Second lang yung gaming...pili kasi masyado mga games na nilalaro ko.

I tried the Spider Man 3 -- that was included in the package -- on my Sammy 32".
Output is at 1080i and the quality was great! Way better than regular DVDs as well as those upscaled through my Pio DV600.

My problem right now is I only have 1 HDMI input on my sammy. So when I want to watch on mh Pio DV600 I have to remove the HDMI cable from the PS3 and move it to the Pio. I asked about HSMI splitters and it's a fortune!

Pwede ka na bumili ng isa pang DVD player!

So now I know...the next LCD/Plasma that I buy should have at least 2 HDMI input.

I'm using a 60 GB which is more than enough for me...so I guess it depends on your need.

60GB has already been phased out. there may be some stores that still have stocks, but presently its the 80 and 40GB models
if your primary reason is to watch BluRay movies, then go for the 40gb
the 80gb would have software emulation for PS2 games

kt · « **Reply #654 on:** Jan 17, 2008 at 12:30 PM »

@choy tnx for the info. so the HD capacity is just for usual storage of your files right? it has no effect on the gaming n BD watching right? yup i dont intend to play PS2 games with it naman.

@jeyps11_c: wer did u buy your PS3 bro? tnx

jeyps11_c · « **Reply #655 on:** Jan 17, 2008 at 02:58 PM »

kt,

Bought it in the US. Storage is mainly for saving games. Pero since you can surf using your console pwede na din mag-store ng downloads sa HD ng PS3. It's really like having a PC na may 40GB HD. But since my 1st priority is watching BR movies I opted for the lower model. KAsi yung 8MB dati sa PS2 hindi ko nauubos (not really a hardcore gamer).

sir choy,
Sent you PM

darkwing · « **Reply #656 on:** Jan 17, 2008 at 03:08 PM »

don't worry too much about the HD size, you can easily upgrade the HD with a 2.5" SATA (notebook) drive ^_^ but since the PS3 can already play mp3, divx/xvid files, well baka mapuno rin yan hehehe but you can always plug in a USB external drive

kt · « **Reply #657 on:** Jan 17, 2008 at 03:42 PM »

bros jeyps11_c and darkwing tnx!

can the ps3 read the ext HD devices din? so either 40 or 80G will do. di namna po ako mag save dun ng other files. mainly for PS3 and BD lang naman

darkwing · « **Reply #658 on:** Jan 17, 2008 at 04:19 PM »

yup it can basta USB lang ^_^

kt · « **Reply #659 on:** Jan 17, 2008 at 04:31 PM »

^ ah ok naman pala bro! hehe kasi pwde naman yung 120G HDD ko sa dv600. baka pwde narin sa PS3 if ever. so any 40 or 80G ok na noh? hmmm san ba ok na stores bumili? di ba delikado sa Greenhills pati mga replacement waranty?
