Hurray for free video converters!For PS3-loving gamers without any technical knowledge of video formats, this is some rather good news. Simply put, there's now an app that will let you change the format of videos into the ones used by Sony's PlayStation 3.


Red Kawa is a new company that just opened up shop this month, but they're offering an app meant for something a lot of people don't have yet. That's a lot of preparation right there. This new video formatting programmed is called the PS3 Video 9, and it turns the videos you have, whether they be WMV or AVI or whatnot, into your choice of the following PS3-playable formats:
  • MPEG-4 SP (AAC LC)
  • H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Main Profile(AAC LC)
  • MPEG-1 (MPEG Audio Layer 2)
  • MPEG-2 PS(MPEG2 Audio Layer 2)
  • MPEG-2 TS (MPEG2 Audio Layer 2)
If the name of the program sounds familiar to PSP users, then your assumption is also quite right. The PS3 Video 9 was also developed by the developers of the PSP Video 9 app. In fact, they also made the beloved email program known as PSPoste. Now that they've made a company though, you're sure to hear more from these programmers in the coming months.

Perhaps the best news of all about PS3 Video 9? It's free. Just visit their site for a download, and send them some love, alright?

 » Cool!

Probably one of the best free apps there is for video conversion, that is until people submit something here on PS3 updates.

 » true.

Methinks there should be a thread on the general forums with a small petition for adding a PS3 Updates and Mods forum. :)

this app is just for the "normal" video player of the ps3.
but with linux, you can install the codec you want!
