Use an SD card to copy the movie to your ps3 hard-drive.
You may also use TVersity, but you must cut transcoding off.

It appears that while Sony is allowing XVID's post 2002. The icon under the PS3 is still DIVX.

...is it easy to set up and use?? any advice will result in bubbles.

Omegasyde6389d ago

its alright but it is the best option IMHO. It just requires alot of space since before the file can be streamed, it must a make a copy of itself as a temp file.. i.e. now you have 2 exact same files with 2 different names.

I was streaming so much I forgot to clear the cache and my computer had problems because there was less than 500 mbs of free memory :)

So yea its nice and you can stream to your cpu and save the file on your PS3 HDD if you wanted too as well.

Works for the 360, PS3 and others.

Install it.
Turn off Transcoding under Settings. If you have nothing but Xvid/Divx content. The ps3 supports only so many codecs so look those up. If you are downloading shows/movies that are around 700mb, they are more than likely Divx/Xvid.

Make an exception for Tversity.exe in your firewall
Make an exception for Mediaserver.exe in your firewall (google how to do that)

Search for the media server on the ps3.

Thats it.

Copy files over to your HDD, or copy them over with an SD card.

There are videos on youtube as well.

mighty_douche6389d ago (Edited 6389d ago )

just to confrim, you can save it to the PS£ hard drive through TVersity correct?

oh and as promised, bubbles.

EDIT @ BladeMask, cheers dude, bubbles for you, very helpful, im fine with all the PC/firewall settings just never used TVersity before. im gonna try it as soon as i get home. chhers guys, much apreciated!!

Blademask6389d ago

You just hit "copy" while accessing the movie. Careful, 60gb/80gb isn't that much when copying movies....

Divx/Xvid have a limit on file size though. Its hard to find a Divx/Xvid movie greater than 2 gigs. If you find a release let me know ;). h.264 and others dont.

I have a 1080i Predator on the HDD now. Just to test. 9 gigs. Plays fine. Its MPGV though.. but apparently the ps3 supports it.

mighty_douche6389d ago (Edited 6389d ago )

where did you get Predator in HD from?!?! tell me!!! i must have it!!

is it from *cough*torrent*cough*??

Can you copy using tversity ? or is it just streaming

Omegasyde6389d ago (Edited 6389d ago )

Yes you can copy and even save the item streaming into another format.

Sort of useless now since the PS3 can pretty much read almost every popular format now.

Omegasyde6389d ago

perhaps linnux will be more useful now for install? Don't be surprised if Sony goes for a partnership with the guys behind Yellow dog or Ubbuuto next.

That would really piss off Microsoft, in which they would retaliate and make Warner go exclusive to HD DVD. lol

UnblessedSoul6389d ago

Ok thanks I was using my memory stick and it was taking forever

The Evil Within Deserved More: A Great Horror Series Left Behind

The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.

An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.

I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.

Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.

PS5/Pro/Switch 2 version of RDR2 seems most likely. I’d love a RDR3 but that seems years away

Cacabunga5h ago

Id be happy for just a 60fps patch

OmegaSoldati4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Agreed, but at the same time RD2 came out in 2018. Could it be a remake of Red Dead 1?

Spoiler:

Marston died in the end of Red Dead and Red Dead 2 is set before that. Im curious now. What news could it be?

Profchaos6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Their contracts are iron clas if they leak anything legit they are threatened with immense legal action.

My hopes for what this is are minimal its probably a meet and greet with the cast

I dont see why they would be involved in a upgraded version of rdr2 when the dialogue hasn't changed

thorstein3h ago

He seems to have been cleared to do this as he purposely picked up the game, streamed it, and made the announcement.

Switch 2 accessory makers are “working hard” on magnetic analogue sticks to combat stick drift

Nintendo Switch 2 stick drift is already an issue, but accessory makers are already working on magnetic joysticks.

I've never had stick drift in any controller I've ever owned. All my joycons (3 sets) from my Switch are perfectly fine. My Switch 2 ones are good. Never had a dualshock / dualsense have it (did have a dualshock get a stuck trigger once). Even my Valve Index controllers which were notorious for drift were fine for me.

Goodguy013d ago

Varies. Just because you've never had one doesn't mean others won't. I've had PS, Xbox, and Nintendo controllers indeed drift on me. Remember the drift lawsuits that Nintendo has had.

Please stop trying to say that traditional potentiometers are absolutely fine when hall effect/tmr sticks are beyond superior lol, not sure why so many people keep trying to defend potentiometers when hall effects are so pro consumer.
Companies like nintendo, sony, and mcsft don't want to implement them simply because they want you the consumer to keep buying them. Most casuals will just buy a new controller if theirs difts, easy money for the big 3.
I've gone hall effects and have never gone back, can leave my controllers out absolutely fine without worry of dust ruining the sticks.

Neonridr3d ago

when did I say that traditional joysticks are absolutely fine? I'm sharing my own experience here. I never said that others don't experience issues, nor that this is somehow acceptable. Strange leapfrog from A to B on that one.

People love to say it's a huge widespread issue, yet you only hear about it because the minority is vocal whereas the majority don't report anything because they are fine.

I'm happy you switched to hall effect sticks, if that's what works for you, then awesome.

Christopher3d ago

Cool? Pretty sure this is for those who are having it happen. Not sure how your anecdote addresses other peoples' problems.

Neonridr3d ago

people around here act like everyone will get drift. I'm willing to wager more people won't get drift than will.

Pyrofire952d ago

lucky you. I've only had minor drift once in my L Joycon which I fixed with some card stock, but drift is an undeniable problem as a whole.

repsahj2d ago

My 2 sets of Joy-Cons from my OG Switch started to drift with just a month of use. That is why I bought Dobe Joy-Cons with just $25, and until now they are still fine. I hope this will never happen again on my Switch 2.

jznrpg2d ago

My left joy con for the OG Switch got stick drift right away as well. I never had issues with my PS5 controllers since launch until I got my kids PS5’s and they had stick drift with 2 controllers. They drop them because they are kids and although I have them wash their hands before gaming they still get gunk under them somehow. I got their controllers modded because they would have issues no matter what I have them do.

"people around here act like everyone will get drift. I'm willing to wager more people won't get drift than will."
no, nobody is acting like that, you're jsut exaggerating it and lying to downplay a problem

Nintendos biggest defender on here so it figures

gold_drake1d 9h ago

The tech is already there. I had a couple of my PS5 controllers modded with Hall Effect modules and they work great. They should come standard with them these days but they don’t.

OtterX2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Nyxi already made some fantastic Hall Effect controllers for Switch 1. I don't know why Nintendo couldn't have it by now if Nyxi has had for years.

spoonard2d ago

Cheap, frictionless sensors ALREADY exist. Why are they "working hard to combat stick drift"? Stick drift should be a thing of the past at this point. The technology is here...NOW. It has been...for YEARS! Why is stick drift even still spoken about? It shouldn't exist!

Chocoburger1d 20h ago

Because its a scam for Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft to sell more overpriced controllers.

jambola1d 12h ago

because pathetic fanboys will continue to defend and support

Doomeduk1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

WD 40 if it's shagg.d anyway why not ? I ordered a new ps5 pad after Helldivers 2 and POE 2 became unplayable due to drift but in the meantime I fired a bit of WD on my balls just below my stick rotated in a clockwise fashion massaging it in so to speak and also did the pin reset thingy and all clean no drift and hit that cancel purchase button like I meant it

UltimateOwnage1d 8h ago

Honestly I’ve used my original Switch JoyCons and Pro Controller since launch and only in the last year did I see drift start to show up on one of my JoyCons. I’m sure it happens depending on how much and how firm the joystick is used, but it seems like a minor issue that goes with wear and tear after thousands of hours of play. I wish there had been Hall Effect sticks on Switch 2 just so there’s one less thing to worry about, but I’m not really concerned about it.
