PS3 WMV (AC-1) Playback Question
on: March 12, 2008, 11:04:57 AM
Has anyone here (w/ a PS3) used the WMV playback yet ?

If so, can you confirm whether the PS3 will playback a > 2gb WMV file ?
And can the WMVs be streamed, played from USB and/or disk ?

Everything I am reading online merges the DivX and WMV playback together and then states that there is a 2gb file limit but nothing states whether this affects both Divx and WMV or just DivX/WMV.

Video files can be streamed straight of a USB stick or other storage.

The 2GB limit is on DivX files.  I dont know about WMV.

Just read that the PS3 fw2.2 has been released and that among other things it updates the PS3 to support DivX / WMV files > 2gb :D

Result ;)

Im trying to sort out a USB HDD to see if the old HFS+ filesystem trick will work on the PS3 like it did on the 360.

360 works with FAT32 and HFS+ for USB storage, only the latter doesnt have the 4Gb filesize limit. :)

Can you stream from a PC with a PS3?

Yes.
the PS3 works as a uPNP media client. So if you run something like TVersity then you can stream to it :)
