PS 2 Simple Media System (SMS)

Simple Media System (SMS)



Tiny yet powerful DivX player. This version runs from host (it needs host:audsrv.irx), but it reads the DivX from a special CDDAFS CD. The windows software included creates a CDDAFS-iso file out of your media files.

This system is not complete yet, but it can play DivX movies with sound at good frame rate already. Player's base is the famous ffmpeg project.

Note this is basic software, and ough to be completed in the future with more features and codec support.

Do you have a large collection of DVD’s or DivX movies in your cub board, but don’t know how to play them independently without a desktop PC or don’t want to connect your PC to TV via TV-out for obvious reasons or Do you have a Playstation 2 but don’t know how to make an optimum use of your investment? In 10 mins you will learn how you can convert your same old PS2 into a Home Entertainment HUB. DVD burners and DVD-Rom’s becoming cheaper day-by-day, its really convenient to backup all your movies into DVD’s or backup your mini library into compress Xvid or DivX file format. You can store as-many-as six movies into one DVD in Xvid format. Of course you can opt for new DivX players available in market, but wait, are these players good enough? I don’t think so.

Why should one opt for PS2 rather than some media player? One, you can play cool PS2 games, all the neighboring kids will envy you and befriend you. Two, you can play DVD’s, CD’s. Three, you can play DivX and Xvid file format movies. Four, you can listen to all those MP3’s that you have collected since 1972. Five, you can play all the movies from USB hard-disk.

Disclaimer! Ensure that you legally own the original movies which you backup in DivX or Xvid formats. I take no responsibility for any damage to your property. Take your own risk.
