On my desktop pc, i was able to watch all videos including avi through my ps3 by using the windows media server that came with windows xp. When that pc broke, i bought a laptop with vista on it, and even though most of my vidoes would still play on ps3 by way of windows media server, my avi files would not. So i had to download Java ps3 media server, which worked with avi files.
so i don't have a problem anymore, but i am just wondering why this happened.
 
an update on vista changed the registry and screwed it up
personally I think it's microsofts way of screwing over ps3 owners
it happened to me and I changed to java too , I like it better anyway because it uses subtitles and plays iso files and dvd folders without conversion
