MKV to M2TS...
I recently bought a Playstation 3, and now I want to stream all my video content from my HDD to the TV through it.
But, as the PS3 does not support MKV, I need to put them into a format that is compatible with the PS3. With most of my HD files, I sorted this with tsMuxer, as they contained AVC and AC3 streams. Problem is that now I need to convert MKVs that do not contain AC3 streams, but AAC streams. What I did try was to demux the MKVs and mux the video and audio streams into the M2TS container. The result is that the audio is way out of sync. And I don't know why this happens. Any suggestions to why this happens? |

I downloaded Eac3to, and tested this "Clown" program that was included. Funny enough, it sees the video stream of the MKVs as an audio stream.
Does that make sense in any way? It surely explains why tsMuxer talks about an unsupported stream when I run the files through it, though. EDIT: Log says: "Bitstream parsing for track 1 failed. <WARNING>" |

Hi! If you do a simple Googlesearch for "PS3+AAC" (without the quotes), there are loads of postings that appear to indicate that PS3s will playback videos containing AAC audio. If so, no reason to convert... |

EDIT: If I change the FPS from 29.97 (which tsMuxer detects) to 23.97 or 24 FPS, the file becomes more synced, though not perfectly it looks like. Last edited by Dreamhacker; 27th June 2009 at 11:07. |

Use "24000/1001" (=23.976...) to get the fps right. If it still is not in sync it may be a file with variable framerate (And thus setting a constant framerate will ruin the sync). Extract the timecodes with mkvtoolnix and upload them here.

And it still doesn't explain why it won't sync the audio to the video correctly at any frame-rate. :S EDIT: Added the information from mkvtoolnix. But there isn't enough upload space to upload timecode for all three tracks too. :S Rapidshare link for the timecodes: http://rapidshare.com/files/249253886/TimeCode.rar Last edited by Dreamhacker; 27th June 2009 at 15:58. |

2) What software and procedures did you use to rip your original source material and convert it to MKV? |

2) I cannot recall, a while ago now. But, I tried to extract the AAC from the MKV, and for some reason MPC-HC lets me choose those extracted files as audio-source when I playback the original MKV. And it's totally out of sync, video moves faster than the audio. So, is there something in the container that specifices how fast the sound should be played? If so, is it possible to transfer that something to the m2ts container? |

Though, it's a lot of hassle due to the interlacing on many of my DVDs, so might be better to just store them in the original format. But is VOB an ideal container for storing it? Or should I remux it into something else? (Know nothing about the VOB-structure. ) |

Still, should I store it in the VOB container when I rip it without re-encoding? EDIT: I tried to rip the VOBs, and put the contents into a .m2ts container... Problem is that my PS3 which I stream to, will not read the subtitles like this. Is it possible to kinda do a direct re-encode from MPEG-2 to MPEG-4, without trying to reduce it size and stuff, so you basically transforms a 1GB MPEG-2 video to a 1GB MPEG-4 video with same quality?
