It was released  in late 2013 as part of the eighth generation of the video game console. A  follow-up to the PlayStation 3 and the wildly popular PlayStation 2, the PS4  packs more power in a smaller package than its predecessors.

According to the official information, PS4 supports the below video types: <\/p>\n<p>When using a USB  storage device, your video files need to be in a folder for your PS4\u2122 system to  recognise them.<\/p>\n<p>MKV<br \/>\nVideo: H.264\/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile Level 4.2\n<\/p>\n<p>Audio: MP3, AAC LC, AC-3 (Dolby Digital)  <\/p>\n<p>AVI  <\/p>\n<p>Video: MPEG4 ASP, H.264\/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile Level 4.2  <\/p>\n<p>Audio: MP3, AAC LC, AC-3 (Dolby Digital) <\/p>\n<p>MP4  <\/p>\n<p>Video: H.264\/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile Level 4.2, H.264\/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile Level 5.2 (PlayStation\u00ae4 Pro only)  <\/p>\n<p>Audio: AAC LC, AC-3 (Dolby Digital), LPCM  <\/p>\n<p>MPEG-2 PS  <\/p>\n<p>Video: MPEG2 Visual  <\/p>\n<p>Audio: MP2 (MPEG2 Audio Layer 2), MP3, AAC LC, AC-3 (Dolby Digital), LPCM<\/p>\n<p> MPEG-2 TS <\/p>\n<p>Video: H.264\/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile Level 4.2, MPEG2 Visual  <\/p>\n<p>Audio: MP2 (MPEG2 Audio Layer 2), AAC LC, AC-3 (Dolby Digital)<br \/>\n  AVCHD (.m2ts, .mts)<br \/>\n  XAVC S\u2122 (.mp4) <\/p>\n<p>Therefore, to play AVI files on PS4, you need to make sure your AVI files are in MPEG4 ASP, or H.264\/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile Level 4.2 video codec, and MP3, AAC LC, or AC-3 (Dolby Digital) audio codec.
