I'm not all that clued up on this subject.

Fat32 size limit is 4Gb.

Average 720p BR-Rip is 4.5Gb. There is a way round it...It's streaming

Or connect to your streaming software and copy across to PS3 as internal disk isn't fat32

Re: DivX 7.0 will Support MKV

It would be good to get some sort of reason behind the FAT32 decision - seems very strange esp considering PS3 lead the way for HD. I mean, it's almost a knock on effect; when buying a PS3, ideally you need a HDTV.

Dual Layer DVD is best way round such a thing mentioned above, however I am in the process of sticking everything on my 1TB external HDD and are trying to get out of using disc media.

I'm hoping that v.soon they will release this DivX and Sony will an issue a major firmware update just before XMAS like they did with version 2.0.

Yeah, no-one wants to burn anymore, as soon as mkv playback with DTS is supported playing off HDD then we're all pretty much set

Re: DivX 7.0 will Support MKV

Who wants to sit burning DVD's? Streamings the best way. no waiting for discs to burn or files to copy over just browse your NAS/PC hosted video library and watch what you want

Streaming to my PS3 is like a new set of TV channels in my house.

Yep I use Medialink or Eyeconnect to stream (although there is the whole mp4 streaming issue so where needed I copy to the HD with those 2 utilities).

Re: DivX 7.0 will Support MKV

DivX 7.0 Beta 1 is now released...

DivX 7 Playback Preview | DivX Labs - Everywhere Communication Occurs Community Happens

Download Free DivX 7 (7.0) Beta 1 Player with H.264 AAC MKV (Freeware)


Guess as it is in Beta mode a full release could be a few months away with commercially support being a few months after that..?
