Divx.com will be more than happy to sell you their conversion program. Once done the file should play just fine.

I'm sure there are others and possibly free ones out there, but I don't know much about them.

You would be able to transfer from pc to ps3 using a media server such as
tverstiy

Go with red kawa - its the best free one - only downside is that it doesnt handle mkv files... For that try megui (if u can get it to work - this is by far the best encoding program)

Converting non divx files to divx will cause quality to suffer.

It is best to stream them from your PC using Tversity. It will transcode non supported video types into supported video over the network to your PS3. The only downside to this is FF can be a bit sluggish because your PC is already using up cpu to transcode the video.

Really the best option is to encode the video to a compatible format from the source such as a DVD. You can use a program like Handbrake to encode DVD folders to Mp4 / h.264 files or many other options for Divx. I prefer h.264 personally.. it kind of seems to be the main native format the PS3 supports and prefers.
