PS3 and WMV!!! - Blu-ray Forum

octogon · 12-18-2007, 04:21 AM

That's RIGHT!! Just updated the PS3 to 2.10. Not only do we get Div-X, but WMV as well (it's in the Agreement)! Just tested this out with a WMVHD (720P) file from IGN's website! Thought you all should know. Only one left now is MOV Files. Peace.

unfortunately only wmv files that are encoded with VC-1 are working.
The others I've tried say "Unsupported Data"

JonD7 · 12-18-2007, 06:16 AM

so no AVI files?

AVI is a container format. What you need to look at is the codec that the film aka stream is encoded in. An AVI file can contain film encoded in divx, wmv, mpeg2 among the many others.

Has anyone been successful playing WMV VC1 encoded (wmvhd) files? I tried bad santa but it says Unsupported data. Is this due to the 2gb file limit? Do we need to add DRM to it to get it to work properly?

Underdog · 12-18-2007, 10:33 AM

Are DivX files upscaled also?

Anyone elese havong audio problems with VC-1 content?
I tried several HD videos encoded in VC-1 and i get a picture but strangely no sound?! And yes, WMA playback is activated...hmm.

bhampton · 12-18-2007, 12:00 PM

I get no sound too. I was going to transcode the audio of the WMV files I have. But,.. if this is a real problem,.. I'm sure they will fix it soon.

does not decode WMA Pro audio.

bhampton · 12-18-2007, 12:58 PM

I'll experiment with transcoding the audio in VLC and SUPER.

It should be much easier then transcoding the video which has been really difficult.

Anybody else having trouble with xvid videos? My videos play but any that are over 1 hour long cut out at the 1 hour mark. All y files are under 2gb also so they shouldn't be a problem, has anybody been able to play a file longer than 1 hour all the way through?
