2.10 Firmware Update Doesn't Fully Support WMA? - Blu-ray Forum

SlmShdy1 · 12-22-2007, 03:20 AM

So I was finally able to get a high definition version of The Dark Knight trailer in WMV format. It will play on the PS3, but there is no audio. The problem isn't that it won't play the sound. It just says that there is no audio.

This is the audio codec it uses:
Windows Media Audio 10 Professional
440 kbps, 96 kHz, 2 channel 24 bit (A/V) 1-pass CBR

Is there a way for me to change the audio codec it uses? Any converter I try won't convert it or I have to pay for it.

If I can remember. If you go to your settings menu. Scroll down untill it says WMV or WMA enable and turn it on. I'm guessing you might have done it already. P.S. I don't know if that popped up after the update or not. I just noticed it after the update

X-Ninja · 12-22-2007, 03:27 AM

lmao. Pay?

You never pay. ...ever. Thats what torrents are for.

ANYWAY! Theres an option in settings i do beleive. Enable WMA... dont remember it all, and im to lazy to go to the PS3 right now. (its 1:30. im about to go to bed. :/ Sorry!) so im useless.

SlmShdy1 · 12-22-2007, 03:28 AM

Yeah, did that already. I'm just guessing the PS3 doesn't support the newest version. Is it safe to download a codec on the PS3 to support it?

tommyboy81 · 12-22-2007, 03:29 AM

HMMM....! Then I don't know what to tell you. Sorry dude.

Hmm, I'd really be doubtful of anyone telling you that you can download a codec for the PS3. If they aren't sony.

Unless you're running Yellow Dog, in which case, you can't access the 3d core anyway

.

WMA 10 Profesional.. Hmm. You should be able to recode it, just it's not a pleasantly easy task. Personally, I'd end up using Nero Recode to try to do it, failing that I'd give up.

[ add / edit ]
WMA Pro support is very sparse. The only platforms really that support it are teh 360, Zune, and a handful of others. Almost no third parties support it on the hardware side of things, kinda frustrating.

wont work. native (sony) codecs only in xmb.

I don't believe the PS3 supports WMA Pro.

bhampton · 12-22-2007, 11:00 AM

I've downloaded some WMV files and they all play with no audio.

I would expect them to fix this with the next FW.

WMA is already enabled on my ps3.

I do have some WMV's encoded with VC-1 and WMA8 that work. The others come with no sound, including my Star wars HD wmv's.

bhampton · 12-22-2007, 09:54 PM

Your SW WMV are under 2GB?

I have a file that's 2.14GB and it's rejected, thought it might be small enough.

SlmShdy1 · 12-22-2007, 11:43 PM

Well, it was worth a shot. Thanks for the help, guys.

The video turned out great and looks awesome on my TV. I guess I could play the trailer on my PS3 and play the sound seperately on my computer.

reiella · 12-23-2007, 12:55 AM

As an aside, and future warning for those who think it may be a good idea.

WMA Lossless also won't work on the PS3 [for much the same reason].
