This major release of our free DivX Plus Software for Windows introduces loads of new features and interfaces, including a DivX Plus Player with DivX to Go, which makes it easy to transfer your videos to DivX Certified HDTVs, Blu-ray players and the PlayStation 3. Also, DivX Plus Converter has a dramitically changed interface for those looking for advanced options and batch DivX and DivX Plus (MKV/H.264) video creation.
Guide: Converting MKV for the PS3
Did you know that the Sony PlayStation 3 is a DivX Certified device? In this guide, we'll show you how to use the free DivX to Go feature in the DivX Plus Player to convert MKV files for playback on the PS3. All you need is a blank disc or USB with enough space, lots of videos, and a PlayStation 3, of course.
Converting .mkv files for PS3
Did you know that the Sony PlayStation 3 is a DivX Certified device? Unfortunately, at this time, it is not DivX Plus HD certified (vote for DivX Plus HD / MKV on PS3 here), which would enable H.264/MKV playback via a firmware update. In meantime, you’ll have to convert those MKV videos in order to watch them with your PS3.
The good news is DivX has a free solution just for this scenario: DivX Plus Software for Windows. This latest release, which came out mid-March, sports dramatic updates to the user interface and introduces “DivX to Go” as part of the DivX Plus Player. This free and easy utility is how we’re going to transfer your MKV to either a USB drive or disc to enjoy on your PS3.
