How is the media when used with divx encoded movies? I'd like to watch some downloaded anime that I have burnt. I remember using the Dreamcast Divx player and it was pretty damn crappy. This is only on the DMS3 chip? I don't know too much about this stuff. How is that Matrix Infinity chip compared witht he DMS3?Quote:

I've played quite a few .avis.. a lot of stuff runs perfectly smooth, and some stuff a bit choppy, which leads me to believe it has something to do with the movie file or burn quality. Ex - Full MST3k episodes playing fine, MST3k half hour special choppy. Paranoia Agent choppy, Kodomo no Omocha perfect. You can find quite a few reviews here Not sure about the Infinity. Check out those two links though
edit - Infinity features
Every movie I've burned to a CDR has run flawlessly through the PS2 Reality Media Player.
But, my brother said he tried to run DVD-Rs with anime episodes on it, and that they stuttered.
A judge ruled mod chips to be illegal in England, I believe.
But thank the Lord we dont live in that hell hole, right?
Actually, IIRC, the judge ruled that modchips are illegal to use...but you can legally buy/sell them. Confusing Indeed.
I know this is a little off topic, but I was at a game store called F/X games. They carry a few import games here and there and older games for systems like the Neo-Geo, 3DO and TG-16.
Anyways.....
This guy Shawn, noticed that I was checking out the more obscure stuff like the Jaguar, Dreamcast and Saturn software and we started chatting. He asked if I liked shooters. I told him: "Yeah, I do. I bought Border Down from your store several months ago." It turns out that I bought the last copy of the game they had and that he was hoping to buy it. He was cool with the fact that the game at least was bought by someone who would appreciate it as well. He pulls out a copy of Gradius V. He's all hyped up about playing it and asked if I wanted to see the game. I said: sure. He said: Cool, I just need to install this flip top and I can show it to you. It really did'nt dawn on me, that he was modding a PS2, with a flip-top mod to do so. I looked behind the counter about 10 minutes later and he's unscrewing the casing on a PS2 and he has the mod kit and instructions layed out. I then realised what he was referring to, when he said he had to install the flip-top. Needless to say, I did'nt hang around to check out the game, but told the guy I'd check it out some time later.
Cool store. It's nice to find obscure places like this, that actually have people behind the counter who enjoy the gaming hobby, as much as I do.
I trashed my ps2 trying to solder the duo2se to the microscopic mother board of the ps2. I thought It would be as easy as modding the x-box unfortunately It's not. I order a premodded ps2 with the matrix Infinity chip( the only glaring difference between the Matrix Infinity and the DMS3 Is that the Matrix Infinity Is a self boot chip( you don't have to tell the PS2 what's In the drive. The DSM3 you have to press the corresponding button to tell the ps2 to boot a dvd, ps2, ps1 disc.
I have a Messiah 2 installed in mine. It doesn't do anything fancy, as far as I know, but I've never had any problems/incompatibilities.
Time for me to mod both the PS2 and X-Box, and I'm really not interested in learning to solder right this very second, and if I was I wouldn't want to inflict my n00b-ness on my poor consoles. So- who to send them to, with quick turnaround being a plus. I'll miss them while they're gone but it's time to get it over with.
So, any advice? :)
