DivX 7 on PS3 (.mkv)

[yobrenoops]

As the PS3 has been a DivX certified device for a while now and since DivX have announced version 7, allowing H.264 format files through .mkv, I was wondering whether anyone had hear anything around the PS3 getting this added to it, maybe in a firmware in the future?

Nope, havent heard of any such update. I just PSM PS3 Media Server to stream mkv files over to the PS3 though, works pretty great.

I'm following up with various people internally around the PS3. I don't have the answers on-hand so I'll have to get back to you.

DivX Plus HD profile requires support of level 4.0, not higher, although since the PS3 can decode Blu-Ray you may luck-out there depending on what Sony decide to implement.

Sony would have to add MKV support to become certified for DivX Plus HD profile.

Currently the MKV container that we write should be fully compatible with the 1.0 spec, although Steve has pointed out some potential issues in the Converter 7.0 writer that we're currently investigating.

DivX Web Player will be updated to support DivX Plus HD although I like to avoid giving release dates too far out in case the dev roadmap changes at all. You'll hear about it on DivX Labs first, I recommend subscribing to the DivX Video Publishers group (see Groups linke in the nav at the top of this page).
