Twonky Forum

I am guessing this is a very silly question but I am wondering why some movies(avi) say "unsupported data type" whilst viewing them on the PS3. I am using twonkymedia v4.4.9. Other movies work perfectly. My PC uses VISTA.

AVI is a container format, it can contain any number of different video and audio codecs.

Download http://avicodec.duby.info/ or something similar and it'll tell you the audio and video codecs used. Obviously not all of these are supported on the PS3.

So is there anything I can do to get these files to work? Thanks

Tell us what codec they are?

Install the program I told you about then find out what codec they are, then transcode to something the PS3 can play.

Hello,
I have a Buffalo LS Pro Duo with Twonky 5.0.55 Server und a PS3.
The PS3 will not play a AVI-Video with Sony Digital Video Codec and PCM Audio. My new AVCHD-Videos recorded with a Sony-CAM work fine.
How can I get my old Sony Digital Videos to work?

hi!!

i had the same problem, that my PS3 did not played AVI files.

at the moment it seems that solved it easily.

in the twonky - configuration under "clients" i just filled in in the line "Syabas Firmware basierte
clients" the IP of my PS3.
Now its working.

I tried the same, but the PS3 comes up with "unsupportet format". Thanks anyway. Regards,
Christian
