I Have not, unfortunately, the PS3 , so i can not Test it by own.

Can anyone test it. PLEASE

No. There's no way to navigate the dvd's menu and some of the .vob files wouldn't play.

Finally a 1080p/24 signal for my Sony VW50 projector...

I think it's more likely that they'd allow a DivX license download or something.

Otherwise, happy transcoding-on-the-fly

I think we're all in the same boat in having a LOT of DivX content. This media server stuff is really only good for pics and music for now IMO

I think when WMP 11 came out they removed WMC from Windows Update but others would likely know for sure.

media streaming is still severely lacking. the interface is just too cluttered. it doesnt seem to be using id3 tags very well, and it doesn't place the songs in any real order as far as i can tell. you can't play full albums yet, and once you go back to the xmb, the music. stops. you cant do the cool slideshow like if the imgs are on the ps3 hard drive (but thats not that big of deal). lastly most my vids are in a unsupported format, but thats not sony's fault honestly.

for dvd playback ps3>360
for media playback 360>ps3

sony still has a ways to go, but .81, .82, .83, etc hopefully will fix some of these issues. they're getting there...

ima try some ps1/ps2 games later and see whats really good

I just found out that when I go into watch a DVD it reverts back to limited...If I got back into the menu after going to a DVD the colors are all back to the grey color...The menu still shows it as Full Range, but I actually have to switch it back to limited, and then back to Full Range to get it to go back...Does this happen to you also? (When you first start the movie, you can see the screen flick from its Full Range black to the Limited Range black/grey, at least I can)

If I Play a game it will stay at Full Range, which is great...but it changes it in DVD mode.

Please explain...

This is on a Westy 37w3...I am sure it is different on different TV's.

And what should I select? should I go with RGB output for SD DVD and Ybr...output when playing BD?
