Well, if you go to Sony's website, you may see that it says, it expects MPEG-4 ASP videos in the AVI format.
Now if you take one of your old AVI files encoded with DivX or XviD to play them on the PS4, chances are it won't work.The PS4 is indeed very picky about AVI files, and if they aren't 100% compliant, they won't play. You can detect most of these non-compliant files by opening them in VirtualDubMod; it will then show up a message like this one:
Usually, rewriting the header makes them playable on the PS4.
If not, you will most probably have to re-mux your files to the MP4 format, using Avidemux for example. It can take an AVI file and remux it into MP4 without transcoding. This will work for videos with AC3 sound. But if it has MP3, you will need to transcode the audio part to AAC in order for the PS4 to playback the sound of the MP4 file.
