I have a Philip 5990/37 and I am really happy with. It plays everything but Blu-Ray. I tempted by a PlayStation 3 for Christmas (and my son too!) but I would like to know the following:
- Can the PS3 play DivX/xvid movies from the USB port (USB stick or USB disk) and can it play DivX/xvid movies from the internal hard disk?
- Does the PS3 support .srt subtitles? This is an important feauture as I would not like to encode the subtitles myself.
- Is it region free or is there a patch to make it region free for both Blu-ray and DVD movies?
- Does the PS3 capable of 1080p Upscaling for normal DVD?
Thank you all

Just choose your video source, audio source (which is just the video source again), and your SRT subtitle source, and then DivX Mux GUI will output a new video file with a .divx extension. Then, when you play it in the PS3, you just turn on the subtitles... I just tested this out for someone in the handbrake forums last week and it worked perfect, and muxing is always nice because it doesn't touch/affect the video quality since it's just passed to the new container. -
Thanks to both of you for this helpful information.
I tried DivX Mux gui tool with several avi/srt but it always fails and no error messages are produced by the tool. The original avi file is about 350 MB and DivXMux stops after it creates a divx file of around 40 MB. The last message I see in the command line window is "Creating Index". The same avi/srt plays just fine on my Philips dvd player. Any ideas? -
You might give AVIAddXSubs a try, too.
