Divx support coming to PS3
Category None
So there are two things hooked up to my Big TV one is a TivoHD and the other is a PS3, both have HDMI output. The PS3 I purchased originally, not for games, but as a Blue Ray DVD player. It had the added bonus that it plays games, and it also acts as a media player. I actually play movies that are stored on my PC through the Playstation. It works great, but it had an issue with Divx movies. I got around that by running TVersity on my PC. TVersity combined with the FFDshow codecs, would then transcode the Divx movies on the fly into a format the Playstation could understand. The transcoding step will no longer be needed with this support as the PS3 will be able to play the Divx files natively. Superb.
