AVI/DivEx file playback on PS3

[A.J.Rimmer(BSC)]

Hello everybody, just a quick question:

I've downloaded some 'data' as AVI files, but when I put a few of them on my PS3 harddrive, the sound is extremely warped. I don't have this problem generally, but I occaisionally get this problem. Also, if I download a film with subtitles, how to I get my PS3 to read the subs file?

Cheers in advance.

i think it only surports embedded subs and that might only be in divxs. so a seperate srt sub etc file wont work. now you can re mux a file to embed the subs but i can't remeber the details.

okay, cheers.

On a side note, is there some way to play DVD's on the PS3 without altering all the settings each time?

you'd have to explain why you have to change the settings. what settings you are changing and under what circumstance.

right, sorry.

Say I put a BluRay in, it comes up under the video XMB icon.

But, if I put in a DVD, the icon comes up, I click on it and the screen turns black / flicks over to another output. If I change the DVD output and resolution in the output settings area, I can watch the DVD on another channel (the same channel my PS2 is hooked up to). However, I want to just put it in and play rather than switch the settings each time.

change the settings under the actual xmb rather than the options when a disc is loaded. you want the dvd upscaler set to fullscreen. that's under BD/DVD settings in the settings menu.

cheers, I'll try that out.
