AVCHDMe: Make AVCHD folder PS3 compatible

This is for anyone with a PS3 who wants to be able to play a BluRay structure from a USB device on a PS3. The benefits of this over streaming are that you get VC-1 video, HD audio and subtitle support.

Firstly, you must use TSMuxer to select which streams you want to keep. In the Split/Cut tab, split the files every 4GB (this is because the PS3 will only read FAT32 USB devices)

Once you have your output from TSMuxer, place the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folder inside a directory called AVCHD on the root of your USB device. Run AVCHDMe and point it at the root or BDMV folder and the structure will be checked. You will be alerted to any problems with filesizes, file names and CLPI errors which you then have the option to correct.

The USB device can now be connected to the PS3 and the BD structure will play.

What does AVCHDMe do?

It renames all the files inside the the BDMV folder to be 8.3 compliant. Without this, the PS3 will not play the BD structure. It can also apply a couple of fixes to the clpi files but now that TSMuxer has been updated (use 1.8.30 or newer), this should no longer be a problem.

Where can I get it?

Download here

And here's a screenshot:



Changes in 2.0
-- Added 4GB max file size check
-- Added "Undo 8.3 filenames" button to name your files back to their original names
-- Path input box now accepts drag and drop
-- Browse and dragndrop now accept either root or BDMV folder as input
-- New TSMuxer fixes CLPI and pause problems but left check in just in case anyone uses on an old mux

If you store multiple movies on a FAT32 hard disk, use AVCHDManager instead. Does everything AVCHDMe does but also helps you manage your collection and quickly change the default movie.
