Update: Unfortunately, some of our DivX files simply didn't play on our system. The ones that do work function perfectly. You can even apply video thumbnails as with any other file. WMV videos also work perfectly. Please leave your impressions in the comments section.

"Voice Recording"? Wha? You mean voice input? There is no way to just record your voice alone.

The Xvid not working was invented by Joystiq to put their usual dampner on anything PS3.
Lets see how they turn today into a bad day. Full DivX and Xvid support, BD1.1, new visualization, voice changer on PS3, Internet radio on PSP.
Sure they will try and derail it by claiming that they have DivX files that don't play, but then the idiots cannot read, as it clearly states DivX 3.1 is not supported...

I've got it guys. The playback is nice. Put in Smallville encoded in Divx, didn't look so hot. Tried FF VII Advent Children encoded in Divx, looked absolutely gorgeous. My Narutos from Dattebayo didn't play back, sadly, that was my main reason for Divx/Xvix support. (Yes, it supports Xvid also guys.) Dattebayo encodes them into Divx YV12 or something like that, it's not 100 percent Divx. Tried Scrapped Princess anime, looked absolutely gorgeous, but subtitles were cut off on top and bottom. So if you're a Divx/Xvid user familiar with PC's perfect playback, you will definitely be disappointed with this. If you have some trailers or something NOT illegal (not likely) then you'll enjoy this feature. BTW, the WMV playback is nice. You can download trailers from Gametrailers.com in WMV and playback on the PS3 nicely. Hope this is useful!

Just installed the update. ALL my xvid backups (done using fairuse) work. And look good/sound great! But im on standard def tv. I am backing up a movie to 3 gig right now to see about the 2gig cap as all my files are about 1.5gig.

streaming video saves room on your hard drive.........
and if you have less than 500GBs on ya PS3 then you are going to want to save that room til later........TRUST me

Streaming video isn't that great of a solution. However, an external USB 2.0 hard drive plugged into the PS3 is. :)

I use the streaming video fairly well from my Linux box to my PS3. The reason I don't use an external drive is that my linux machine has drives in raid which serve as my poor-man's backup. The external drive doesn't provide that at all.
I use MediaTomb as my media server for UPnP streaming. TVersity doesn't look like it supports linux.
