Default playing movies
I have lots of video files I would like to play on the PS3..
Media Streaming from Computer to PS3..
Problem is it plays some of the videos but some it says Not Supported..
I know it plays DivX does it play .AVI files?
What formats does it play, that I can stream to it..?
I have Nero 8 and Roxio Easy Media Creator 10 for converting files..
What would be the best format to play all my movies in?
Thanks

* AVI
* - Motion JPEG (Linear PCM)
* - Motion JPEG (μ-Law)
