how do i play download files from eztv on my ps3

hey. the new firmware update from ps3 allows playback of divx & xvid encoded
files. i tried playing an episode of october road on mine but it doesnt work.
can anyone help me?

these are torrent files, go to wikipedia and look up torrents and you'll
understand what went wrong.

i know what torrents are. i've been using it for 3 years now... if u dont
understand the question, dont assume i'm a noob

i assume your getting a 'corrupted data' message or similar ?

there seems to be some confusion over what the new ps3 2.10 update allows you
to play.it now has divx support but not xvid although some users have said
that they can get xvid files to play.i've tried but without success.

most of the files on eztv if we're talking about the 350mb files,seem to be
encoded with the xvid codec although i'm open to contradiction on that one.

if you download the divx pack from their site,the converter will allow you to
convert the files from xvid to divx.

streaming wise,it's worked on divx files for me but the loss of quality is a
huge factor,you'd be far better off putting the files on a dvd data disc or
portable hd.

i have got xvid to play on my ps3 "journeyman s01e12 hdtv xvid-lol" and monster
quest s01e07 lions in the suburbs dsr xvid-iht played without any problems..

but "extras s02 christmas special hdtv xvid-saints" didn't play on ps3 or my
standalone divx player.

think theres something wrong with it. but it plays just fine on pc using vlc.


oh and i also have played mkv muxed to vob with x264 5.1 files on ps3 🙂

ok. thanks guyz... how did u convert mkv to vob?
