Cant see

[Defuser]

Fuck yeah!!! Stage6 Divx will come very very handy for PS3 owners especially GAF!!!

[Tr4nce]

I knew it would come this month.


Glad about it. I love these updates and I can totally NOT understand that Sony is actually going to release less of these updates in the future, just because a bunch of customers are complaining that they have to download an update too much. How can you complain about something which improves the functionality of your product??

[Rapping Granny]

So I am guessing the closest thing we're going to see ingame XMB is in HOME.

People will complain about anything.

[Panajev2001a]

.wmv playback (VC-1) + DiVX playback = Panajev buys a much bigger HDD if true .

[Scalpel Knight]

What are the benefits of Blu-Ray 1.1?

[Metalmurphy]

Someone enlighten me. What's the benefits of Bluray 1.1 besides the PIP thingy?

[SolidSnakex]

So I am guessing the closest thing we're going to see ingame XMB is in HOME.

"We are looking at a number of enhancements related to accessing some of the XMB features during gameplay, including messaging your friends," PlayStation Network director of operations Eric Lempel told the ShackBlog. "While there's no timeline to announce at this point, we've heard loud and clear from consumers that in-game XMB access is one of the most requested PS3 enhancements."

Scroll down so I can translate the rest :p

[itsgreen]

Voice changer lol. That worked out great with XBL. This must do miracles for the already limped talking community on the PS3.

[Valkyr Junkie]

No DTS:MA decoding? :/

The only feature I've wanted added besides in-game XMB.

[Valcrist]

voice changer FUCK YEA

[Seiken]

What is Blu-ray 1.1?
What is voice changer?

[Opus Angelorum]

A voice changer, seriously Sony?

lol, be my guest. there's nothing else worth translating, though

[Dot50Cal]

Sony ninja the URL already?

Looks like it makes your voice higher or lower, from that screenshot anyway.

[Steroyd]

Why are people happy about Blu-ray 1.1?

[nofi]

Why are people happy about Blu-ray 1.1?

Because the first 1.1 films are out on the 1st of January.

[kaching]

It's a videogame console. Why not have a little fun? Why so serious?

[Kyoufu]

A voice changer, seriously Sony?

Yet another worthless update for me. I'm not one to usually bitch at this sort of thing but come on...give me something that I'm going to use.

[Obaid]

DivX = porno
porno = win



Just got a 4 gig usb stick, now i can trans fare all my stage6 porn downloads to my ps3 hahaha

yeah, that's it

[Dot50Cal]

True Picture in Picture support among other things. I think this brings the PS3 to full 2.0 compatibility, AFAIK the only thing different between Profile 1.1 and 2.0 is the ability to connect to the internet.

How can they not support 3.11? Divx by default supports this. Disappointing.

[Opus Angelorum]

It's a videogame console. Why not have a little fun? Why so serious?

Have you ever played a game with people using voice changers? Annoying!

[Neo_ZX]

Will we need a newer version of UPnP software for DivX? Even copying the files over can be a bit of a hassle with larger videos but TVersity updates pretty regularly anyways.

[itsgreen]

It's a videogame console. Why not have a little fun? Why so serious?

Because we all know how it worked out for xbox 1. It was a horror show with only little girls and bass tones.

in game XMB ???

[Valcrist]

just what psn needs. more little girls and barry whites.

[macksplack]

The voice change thing is gonna be very annoying, chipmunks mofo's better stay out my game.

I hope the divx supports all versions, if so i don't need my pc hooked up to my tv anymore.

[Tieno]

DivX = porno porno = win Just got a 4 gig usb stick, now i can trans fare all my stage6 porn downloads to my ps3 hahaha

If you have a 360 and a PS3 you can stream two porn movies to your TV at the same time.
2 > 1.

So, what does this mean?

[kaching]

I've played plenty of games with people who aren't using voice changers and it's still annoying. Chances are the people who will annoy with voice changers are the same people who would find a way to annoy without them.

Beyond that, it can't hurt to give younger players a way to diguise their youth online for their own protection.

[Dot50Cal]

So, what does this mean?

All your lovely old Divx encodes wont work. Though I can see why they didnt, 3.11 Alpha was just a hack which was illegal to use :P. Its what the majority of dvd rips were used for. So you may find that a lot of videos you have don't work.

Check the properties of your videos, if they have DIVXMP4 V3, then chances are they wont play if this post is to believed.

[Goldrusher]

So, what does this mean?

Doesn't the Spanish text say you can't COPY files:

- compressed with DivX 3.11
- bigger than 2GB

I think...

"reproducir" = copy ? reproduce ?

Right ? Right ????

[natureman3]

Someone to lighten me : is there any major video format that the ps3 will not be able to read AFTER this fw 2.1 update ?

[Dot50Cal]

x264 "High Profile" ...While its not major, the enthusiast community has moved to it. Producing PS3 capable encodes with it makes quality suffer.

[Dimmuxx]

Someone to lighten me : is there any major video format that the ps3 will not be able to read AFTER this fw 2.1 update ?

The most important one, x264+ac3 in .mkv container.

.avi?

no it doesn't
reproducir=play
copiar=copy
