Jeez, no need to get your panties in a wad. I said I didn't own a 360 and that I was sorry if I had some misinformation about it. Not like I said you were stupid or anything. Just said I was googling it out and all I found was on how to stream the damn things, not how to play them directly. As for the PS3 supporting DivX, it supports the format fully. I have yet to see my PS3 not recognize a DivX file. I've gotten files that wouldn't play, but if you go to information, the PS3 recognizes that it's a DivX file. More often than not, DivX files that won't play on the PS3 are from unsupported audio formats (since the avi format is pretty much a container) or different lengths in the audio and video. That's pretty much the only problem I've had with DivX files on my PS3, some are encoded to where the audio length is longer than the video length so the video only plays for a short time on the PS3. Not something VirtualDub can't fix though, just put a direct stream copy for the video and audio and change it so the frame rate matches the audio length, and the process is done in like 10 seconds. Pretty easy fix. The DivX format itself is fully supported by the PS3, just can't really handle some weirdly encoded files. |
i didn't appreciate the fact that you said i was making stuff up, when you had no proof that i was, and i had clear proof that i wasn't. i apologise for the way i reacted, but not for what i said. the ps3 may recognise it but the fact that it doesn't play it is a pain, where as the 360 will play it regardless. all my divx files actually PLAY on my 360, some of the same files don't on my ps3, even though it is recognised as a divx file. i can understand that the audio codec in the file container is the problem, but that's why i said divx is hit and miss with ps3. |
Not the DivX codec itself...just the encoded file. DivX isn't hit or miss, the Video+Audio together is. I'm sorry I said you didn't know what you were talking about, I just wasn't aware of any DivX support other than for streaming from your computer
