hello this is my first post here

i saw a vid on youtube that you could run linux os on ps3 so can you download a plug-in to run divx files on it....i mean when the linux os is running
and does linux have a torrents downloader app.if so it'll be the best game console ever

yes, man that us possible. they did that on ps2 why not on ps3.:ilove:

Linux on the Playstation 3 does is not capable of running a torrent downloader application. But for Divx, your best bet is to run it off your XMB considering you can run it off there now if you upgraded to 2.10!

Have Fun man and best hopes to you!

Yep. And the best/easiest way to get files into your ps3 is "ps3 media center" or put it on a memory card/hdd and plug it in. I love my ps3.

pubaa, did you get your answer now? please don't hesitate to post so we can help you more or we can close this thread.:ilove:

Can ps3 run divx movies that are in 720p or higher hey if so wouldn't that be a alternative to buying bluray discs
normally a hd divx movies are around 2 to 4 gb isn't it.
Question 2
can those divx compatible dvd players with hdmi out play hd divx movies .is the video quality reduced in anyway when the video is transmitted.if it's not can we experience hd with out buying hddvd or bluray player.

I would presume that the PS3 could play 720p Divx movies since the PS3 is made to handle that. You 2nd question is not completely related with this section, so I cannot answer it.

Hope that helps you out!

Have Fun

how streaming mkv video files from PC to PS3 ? PS3 dont open mkv files :(

Yes, the PS3 with the latest update can run DiVX and XViD movies. I've tested it myself. Simply copy allyour movies to anexternal hard-drive (or burn them on a data DVD-ROM) and you're good to go.

If they don't show up in the XMB, go to the movies icon, scroll down to your removable drive or DVD-ROM or CD-ROM (but don't select it, just highlight it). Then hit the Triangle button and select "View All". Every single file on the storage device will now be displayed.

the way i do it is stream it from the pc to the ps3 using wmp11,works a treat for divx and so on.
