Best Method to Convert AVI to PS4 for Playing

Summary: Is there any way to play AVI on PS4? If you are confused about it, you’ve come to the right place.


Sony PS4 is a home video game console which is the successor to the PlayStation 3. Although PS4 has more powerful features like SharePlay which is a great way to experience video games, the PS3 is a little better in terms of the media machine than the PS4. Although it claims to support many files formats, but we still run into incompatible issues such as AVI to PS4.

Q: No way to watch AVI on PS4?
“Can I play AVI on Sony PlayStation 4? I have got the Sony PS4 video game console a week ago, I have collected some movies on my computer, they are AVI formats, are they supported by Sony PS4?”

People who want to play your local media files with PS4 can take a look at PS4 supported media files formats as below:
Video:

You may confused why PS4 support AVI but you cannot play AVI on PS4. There are strict rules for AVI playback. While AVI is a container video format which may contain various video or audio codec. If the AVI video is not encoded with PS4 compatible codec, we will fail to stream AVI to PS4 or cannot play AVI on PS4 even if successfully transferred AVI to PS4.
