View Full Version : Why does the sony dvp-ns700h/b lack divx ? TheChosenOne1 08-27-08, 10:34 AM Why does the sony dvp-ns700h/b lack divx support ?, I am curious because the uk version(DVPNS708H) has divx support. I find it pretty funny because it's usually uk/europe that get screwed out of features with sony. TheChosenOne1 08-28-08, 07:15 PM Anyone ? zrdb 08-28-08, 08:20 PM It's always been my theory that sony doesn't want us customers to have xvid/divx support-don't ask me why, though. Foxbat121 08-28-08, 08:40 PM Because Sony owns couple movie studios. Divx = pirated movie in Sony's mind. TheChosenOne1 08-30-08, 03:32 AM Because Sony owns couple movie studios. Divx = pirated movie in Sony's mind.Yea but sony added divx support to the PS3 through a firmware update, so it's ok for USA users to watch divx/xvid movies on their PS3 but not on their sony dvd players ? Not that it affects me in anyway since I live in the uk, I just find it strange. Foxbat121 08-30-08, 10:25 AM The only reason PS3 gets DIVX is to compete with XBox 360. I believe all the major brands of DVD players in Europer support DIVX playback. Not so in US although it started to change a bit but certainly not a big factor for ppl to pick one over another. chitown72 11-03-08, 12:20 PM ok so if it lacks divx then is there any way to watch files ive downloaded from the net on it? mpeg etc? |
