I want native Xvid/Divx support so I can play my DVD backups from my NAS in the other room without using a computer. I spent a lot of time encoding all that shit, I want to be able to use it easily.
In game XMB would be sweet. So when someone sends me a message and I'm in a game I can pause, check it, and reply if necessary... say for instance someone needs the server password for FNF or WNW or something.
1.94 has Rumble doesn't it?
Yeah, this update is pretty tame really. There's got to be more than this to a full point release. They're either hiding something cause they don't know if they can get it out in time or they really have nothing. I'm hoping for the first one.
Yeah, v1.94 is the rumble update, but that’s inconsequential for anyone in NA or Europe, considering we won’t have the DualShock 3 until next spring.
Everyone would love to have DivX/Xvid support, but sadly, it’ll never happen because of piracy concerns. I’d settle for WMV HD playback so I could watch IGN Insider’s HD-quality videos on my HDTV (instead of my laptop, which maxes out at 1024×768), but obviously that’ll never happen either, because WMV is a Microsoft format.
So far, you’re the only one who has commented on my first three blogs...thanks for that, bhive. I posted about this in the Community Blog Support forum: I find it really annoying that the blog software sets the time of your post as the time you create it, not the time at which it is first made live. I start blog entries, but a lot of times, I don’t get to finish them for hours, and by the time I put them up, they’re not even in the top 10 or 20 “new” entries...and then no one sees them :(...
Best thing to do is to make the entries in Notepad and then Copy pasta the BBcode when you want it to go live. That or create them in the cblog editor take a look at it. Edit it. Eat a pizza. Then copy pasta that into a new blog and make it live.
If you're blog isn't at the top of the list it doesn't get seen. Sad but true. Essentially, your blog is timed from when you start it and not when it goes "live." I think they do that to prevent people from switching back and forth from live to hidden to get their shit at the top.
You're right though. Divx/Xvid support has about as much of a chance as WMV seeing the light of day on the PS3. Sad but true. I say the more codecs and container types supported the better. Sony would really win some major internet support if they implemented Divx/Xvid. Then again, they're a major movie studio too and wouldn't want people copying their shit and playing it on a PS3. I bought my movies though and transfered them out of convenience.
I'm pretty sure that MS said they were going to support it at some point. I wish there was an easy way to convert the files that didn't take a century and re-encode the movies from one compressed format to another. *sigh
Yeah, right now I’m using Red Kawa’s PS3 Video 9 program for reconverting, but on my slow-ass three-year-old laptop with a 1.6 GHz Pentium M processor and a gig of ram, it just takes too long. Plus, I converted an HD-quality video once and it really did a number on the quality...it barely looked like it was HD anymore, so it wasn’t even worth the trouble.
I agree wholeheartedly
