Unfortunately, that's true - the PS3 will not play MKV files without
changing their format. You can use a tool like MKV2VOB to change the
container format to one the PS3 understands - from what I've seen,
it's not the video or audio codecs that the PS3 doesn't work with,
just the container format.

I'm fairly certain I'm going to buy a ps3 in the next month or so to
replace my very aged xbox media center (xbmc). I understand the PS3
can't natively play mkv files though?

Your fine but you might consider a ps3. Bluray, full divx and
network support.

Hello HWG,
So, I went to watch 'Ghostbusters' this morning as nothing was on
any of the 500 channels I get on DirecTV. The little red light
just blinked away and the tray wouldn't open nor would the
display come on. I unplugged it - waited - and plugged it back
in. No joy. This is the second of two that have died. I swear
they put timers in these things.
So now, I am looking for another Divx player. The Philips
DVP5140 is looking like my best bet. It does Divx Ultra, which
the 642 didn't - but I didn't encounter divx Ultra that much.
I currently use this 642 through S-Video but I have RCA
available also. No HDMI. Might have ability to do component RGB
type hookup, if I shuffle some stuff around.
I am looking for other suggestions before I get this unit. Is
there something better out there?
Ok, going to assume I am doing OK with my choice here.
