Anyone that owns a PS3 knows that you can't play AVI files. This will get Sony to notice that we really want to play AVIs on the PS3.

Hmm.. AVI is just a container & i think you will need to be more specific in the types of files you would like to see supported e.g. Xvid, DivX etc..
*EDIT* Just seen the petition. Seems you have covered Divx but maybe consider being little more specific such as particular versions to support. Also would be very useful to have Xvid on there as well & Subs support.

Couldn't this be done in YDL?

Playing AVI would be awesome, but firmware must contain Divx/Xvid codec but constantly updated because of new codec releases (Divx 5, 6 and even upcoming 7 eventualy). Mkv/Ogm would be great too, but codec also must be implemented also in firmware.

Why doesn't Sony add support for some open standard codecs like Ogg? The more, the better.

yes, but not at standard, not legally.Originally Posted by iceman2654
.ogg (which supports video) should be added honestly, they should support the open source formats if they want an "open" platform. it's just laziness on their part.
obviously, i will sign your petition.

Playing back high def media in YDL sucks, big time.
Problem 1
You know how PS3 works. Simple dual issue PPE unit, on unoptimised code runs about as fast as a Pentium 3 1.6,better on optimised code, but it's ok the PPE is the conductor, 7 SPUs where the power resides, they're the orchestra. This all gets pipped to RSX. Vaguely how it works.
On YDL you're running VLC. You have codecs that don't use the SPEs at all. You're not using IBMs own Cell compilers, you're using generic GCC compilers. The video is then decoded and pushed into a basic frame buffer. No RSX access. No hardware scaling or other coolness.
Result: Choppy crappy video.
Problem 2: You've set your other os partition to 10GB right? You don't get access to the main PS3 partition.
Problem 3: Can't play it all by wireless controllers.
If you want to play video it's best to convert it to a format you can play off the XMB. From the XMB you can use codecs that use RSX and the SPEs. You can play absolute mad bitrate movie files at 1080p. Anything you throw at it, it'll play.
Supports these 4 main formats(AFAIK)
MPEG 1
MPEG 2 (I've managed to play MPEG2 off the XMB but it choked, I'll keep working on that).
MPEG 4 Base configuration (None of that enhanced MPEG4 stuff, that breaks)
MPEG 4 H264/AVC - Codec of choice.
Converting a DVD quality DIVX movie to AVC takes about 17 minutes on my old PowerMac, a brand new PC/Mac will do it faster, but you lose a little quality.
Converting a 720p movie to H264 takes rather longer. about 400 minutes....!

I rarely use .ogg, but I use DivX/Xvid daily- yes, I literaly mean 'daily'.
it would be great to play my vids on my TV in a simple and direct way.

The moho
they should allow wmv
c/:-]
It's funny that it can play WMA and that one of Blu-ray's codecs is based on Windows Media Video (VC-1), yet there's no WMV support. It would be nice to have, definately.
I wonder if I could fool the video player if I renamed a WMV file as MPG. It might simply accept the MPG file as VC-1 encoded.

that is already supported with 1.6.

it would be great, if you could play divx, ogg, xdiv etc, right away from the XMB.
but it will never happen unless sony support the codecs.
.
yup. I thought they were the same. I looked it up and found out that one is for Audio and the other is for Video.
for that, I agree, WMV should have been default from the start. along with divx, it is like the MP3 of video.

The ultimate wet blanket
The difference is that WMA and VC-1 are specific codecs, while .WMV is still a container/file format like AVI, and both .WMV are .AVI files are Microsoft-owned standards. Codecs, by comparison, are individually cheap to license compared to the fact that being able to play .WMVs and .AVIs (on a commercial product, that is) means licensing the entire Windows Media/Video-for-Windows package.It's funny that it can play WMA and that one of Blu-ray's codecs is based on Windows Media Video (VC-1), yet there's no WMV support. It would be nice to have, definately.
MKV, OGM, and maybe even MP4 containers should all be doable, but WMV and AVI and ASF are all problems due to a fat howler monkey and his bespectacled puppeteer.
