Hi all,
After trial and error, I finally figured out how to convert an old divx 3 (you know, the old hacked version of the codec) video file to a format that my Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) could handle. Why is it that Sony has made the PS3 to be such a finicky beast when it comes to reading video files, I will never know:
How to convert a video file using AviDemux v2.4.1 on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron):
- Load the original video file into AviDemux
- Auto -> PSP (H.264) – choose defaults
- Video -> Configure -> 2 Pass
- Format -> MP4
- Save with the extension “.mp4″
If you’re going to put the video on an USB thumbdrive, you will need to create a folder:
- On the USB Thumbdrive: VIDEO
- Group videos with subdirectories: VIDEO / SCIFI
