Guys,

I stream mostly movies to my PS3 from a laptop.
Some AVI's however will not work - unsuported data type appears.
I now have the most recent software update, and the particular movie which would not play now does, however there is no sound.

Works on the laptop etc, just not on the PS3.

If I convert using divx then it will work, however when I convert using this software the sound and picture are out of sync - any ideas why this would happen

Thanks,
Shaun

You get the same thing on WMV files. I downloaded one the other day, a HD format WMV, but when I played it on the PS3, no sound. I thought it was the file, bu a quick Google search and PS3 plays WMV, but does not support some of the sound formats. It plays fine on the PC and on the 360.

Some of your old **** movies may be encoded with DivX 3.11, a custom matrix or a sound format that isn't supported.

Best to convert to a compatible format or stream with something like TVersity.

If it's out of sync, try an audio format that isn't MP3. SUPER is a good program to convert with.

Thanks Dunk.

The AVI sound/picture is in sync before I convert, the tool I used to convert puts it out of sync,
I'll try SUPER and see what happens.

I was getting this sort of problem. I found a program called PS3MediaServer and its great!!! Just start your ps3 and load the program and it does everything for you.

I have found that streaming Avi files from my PC to my PS3 was the best route for me, for instructions on how to set the network streaming using Windows Media Player read here .

Just dump your files onto your pc ....... I get no sync problems at all

Hope this helps

Yes, you do.

But I assume you then choose to pick the media server from the PS3, browsing to pick a video etc to watch.
Then eventually you'll run into the same problem as me.

I'm about to tread from *Nate* about configuring windows media player.

However I downloaded SUPER and convered my AVI movie from .AVI to .AVI and its converted with no sound or vision sync issues.

PS3MediaServer is great though isn't it - nice and easy, hassle free to install etc.
