"DivX, Inc. today announced that DivX(R) video technology will be integrated into PLAYSTATION(R)3 (PS3(TM)) from Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCE). The popular computer entertainment system will be added to the ecosystem of devices that currently support DivX video playback. To date, over 100 million DivX Certified(R) products have been shipped into the market, and it is anticipated PS3 will significantly expand that number.

We are excited to work with Sony Computer Entertainment to bring DivX to PS3," said Kevin Hell, CEO of DivX, Inc. "Our technology will expand the multimedia functionality of PS3 by enabling users to enjoy access to the broad library of content in the DivX digital media format."

Wow. I can FINALLY stream porn to my computer without some wacky programs.

Yeah this is real good news. I had always hoped that either the PS3 or the 360 would get DivX support one day, making my life a lot easier. And today's the day... well sort of. Still have to wait for the update, heh heh ^^;

Well, it looks like the 360 is getting DivX support as well.

(I know, that should have probably gone in the 360 thread, but it was sort of a comment about your comment, and I don't have a 360 so I feel weird going in those threads

...)

Yay, a few more standards and I'll spend more time on my ps3 than on my pc.

Most awesome update ever, if it's true

That's fucking brilliant comedy, though

Yeah, I just realized that DivX support would make Remote Play with the PSP about 100 times more awesome.

Wow, the possibilities. My entire porn collection, but on the go.

You wanting to access your porn collection while having lunch at McDonalds, or while taking a break from studying at the university library? That's messed up dude.

Wow they are really listening to their customers when it comes to media playback on the PS3. I wonder if they will take the next step and offer MKV container support like some standalone DVD players have been offering.

chato · Nov 13, 2007, 03:39 PM

Pretty awesome news. I guess I can throw in "irregular converted" mp4's in there. Hey I thought divX also has .mkv's... No problem though. The real question is when =].

Haha, I was being sarcastic dude. I guess I need to work on my internet humor :/.

I would never watch anything like that where anybody could ever see me (especially in public, let alone my living room where the PS3 and my 4 roommates usually are.)

Have they figured out how to play 5.1 audio from .MP4 yet.

I know that the latest firmware supports multichannel audio, but only for .ts. But nobody care about that.

The next update may. It seems this is going to be a big media playback update. XviD support is also being rumored now along with internal audio channel upmixing support for the 3 or so PS3 owners who don't own a Pro Logic II receiver. There are talks of the PS3 being able to read shared files/folders on a network without using a special protocol in the next update as well. It seems the only thing holding them back at this point is working out licensing deals with various patent holders for each format and dealing with Microsofts lock on NTFS.

Heh, the ps3 gets better each day as a freaking amazing media center...
(Good stuff while we wait for lovely games)

Megalith · Nov 13, 2007, 10:14 PM

That's good to hear. I am pretty much content with everything the PS3 has to offer at this point, other than the lack of 5.1 and FLAC support.

Wait a sec. By special protocol, do you mean a media server, such as WMP11? That would be...so cool if they could do that.

Slayer X · Nov 13, 2007, 11:32 PM

No he means so that the PS3 can access content on networked computers without needing any programs like WMP11.

eprox1 · Local time: Nov 13, 2007, 11:34 PM

Yeah that's what I meant.

Let me just clarify - with this rumored update, setting up WMP11 as a media server for the PS3 can be considered redundant and unnecessary because the PS3 will now have the ability to read shared network folders & files, providing direct access to the content?

(I hope I worded that better :/)
