mkv2vob: New App to Remux MKV x264/AC3 which play on PS3 - Page 9

3r1c · 5th December 2007, 23:21

you may be right im not sure.
you might have better luck googling that error message because its not really anything to do with my prog and i dont know the answer or even what ps3 portal is.

dj wurst · 5th December 2007, 23:27

ok. you're right. it's the wrong thread. i just thought someone here maybe already had the same problem and solved it. anyway thanks for your answers.

btw i already tried google and found no solution :-(

Have you tried Vilvic Media Center You can transfer large files to your PS3 with that . I used to use that to transfer files as large as 20 GB before I started streaming. And talking about streaming, I use twonky and with that if you press triangle on the file from your PS3 you can chose copy and it copy it to the internal HD.

If a file has 2 Audio Lanes - Englisch -German
How do I tell him to use german?
And how do I tell him not to use subtitles?
The reson why Im asking is because I only have one empty DVD DL Disc left and I dont want to screw up this time.

@B4tm4n
Please tell me more about the tools to copy large files to PS3.
How to use them and so on.

ssHiep · 6th December 2007, 01:42

i have succesfully transfered movies from my computer through tversity to my ps3 without any porblems. the ps3 does not use a fat32 set up for the hd. btw 3r1c, killer program, love it

3r1c · 6th December 2007, 02:13

subtitles and multiple audio streams is not supported at this time, the program will use the first audio stream number.

busta.rhymes · 6th December 2007, 02:19

Well everything works fine for me now exept for Fastforwarding that will screw up the speed off playback.

busta.rhymes · 6th December 2007, 02:21

I am using TwonkyMedia just at the moment and i can copy Big files from pc to ps3 to without any problems. Yahoo now the problem with the files over 8,5gb is no problem anymore. I am so happy.

WestsTigersFan · 6th December 2007, 10:42

do u lose any quality running it through tversity as opposed to running it off a burnt dvd or flash card etc?

Glad you got it working.

Many thanks for this great little application, works on about 90% of the 720p samples I had lying around. One problem I keep finding is an error after tranzcode, it creates .wav's from the DTS/AC3 etc, but I get 'Error creating AC3 from WAV!'.
Any clues as to why this is happening (tranzcode outputs the .wav's no problem).

I'm going to try the 1080p format onto a BR disc, as I'd love to crack the 1080p barrier before the holidays.

zwirek75 · 9th December 2007, 12:05

Just writing for someone to confirm this ..
I've spent some time playing with encoding 1080p h264 files for PS3.
What I have discovered is that the files were playable for level 4.1 only if I have chosen to use at most one reference frame (a setting of x264 application). If I choose more than one ref frame the x264 complains something about DPB size (e.g. x264 [warning]: DPB size (13824000) > level limit (12582912)) for chosen profile but starts encoding a stream which is not playable on ps3.
I think this is the problem of changing from avc 5.1 to avc 4.1 just by hex editing - it does not change the internals of the stream, so the stream becomes incorrect.
For 720p the problem is less important since references to blocks are reachable within 4.1 profile DPB range.

its certain combinations of options, i have not been able to figure out which ones exactly.

more refs will be playable if you lower some other options.

jrizzy · 10th December 2007, 07:16

first off lemme say that this is a fantastic program and so far has worked flawlessly on my 720p videos.

i am wireless using my ps3 so streaming a lil bit of a stretch....i can at least see that the video does playback so i know it works. problem for me is for example: superbad 720p ripped as .vob is larger than the actual mkv file so it wont fit onto a standard dvd anymore and i cant put it on my fat32 external hd b/c its over 4gb...so i have 3 questions:

1.) what do u recommend as far as a vob splitter goes?

2.) is there a way to shrink the .vob file down just a touch to get it onto a standard DVD

2.) will the ps3 accept other hard drive formats? like ext2 or ext3?

thanks for all ur hard work!

3r1c · 10th December 2007, 08:03

If your network isnt fast enough for live streaming just use the copy function to save it to the ps3 hard drive, then watch it from there.

Sure. But if you have a stream HL and 5.1 and "degrade" it to HL 4.1 it will not be playable by PS3.
Is there (known) any way to detect such situations before starting the conversion process to detect streams which are not "convertible" by mkv2vob ?

Hi,

Ive used your program to convert a couple of mkvs successfully, so thanks for that!

I understand the issue with not being able to fast forward (do you think this will ever be fixed, or is it a Sony problem)

My question is, even just stopping the playback, going back to the xmb, then resuming playback causes the fast video / sync issue here.

Is this normal? Because it makes watching a movie really hard work, if I accidentally exit the film I'm stuffed!

Cheers,

Jon.

3r1c · 11th December 2007, 02:09

you must watch video from start to finish no interruptions or it will not work properly, and yes this is a sony problem there is nothing I can do.

pepperisback · 11th December 2007, 13:03

I have some mkv movies in 1080P. Which Program did I have to use to convert it to 720P ???
Thanks!
