Does the PlayStation 3 play AVI videos?

Does the PlayStation 3 play AVI videos? I am really tired of converting videos from AVI to MP4 using PS3 Video 9. It really takes a long time for PS3 Video 9 to convert my videos. My videos are about 1 hour and 30 minutes long. Are their anything that I can use besides PS3 Video 9 that does the same thing, but takes less time to finish? Thank You.

Reply:PS3 only support MPEG-4 formats, you have no choice but to convert AVI to MPEG-4.


You may find another convert software which have fast speed. I have used Daniusoft DVD to PSP Suite which convert any dvd/ video to PSP not take too much time.

Reply:Unfortunately one of the caveats of the Playstation 3 is that it can only play mp4 videos. This is most likely because all of the other formats have been licensed and therefore Sony would have had to pay money to be able to include those.





Avi is a windows format more or less, so I doubt Microsoft would just hand over the format license without a fee, which would convert into a fee that the consumers would have to pay.





And yes, converters will take a long time and consume ample amounts of resources, so just do it overnight.
