The one big problem I have always had with mk2vob though is that whenever I convert something with subtitles (that aren't hard-encoded onto the video), the subtitles always come out in a default font different from how the originally displayed.
It's still perfectly readable most of the time, but the process reverses anything the original subtitler may have done to make the words more readable against certain backgrounds in the video. Is there any way to make sure the subtitles stay in their original format? |

A player is free to show the subtitles in whatever font it wants. The way mkv2vob does it might look different from another player, but there is no "right" or "wrong" way of doing it. If you mean SSA/ASS subtitles, those arent supported by the muxing apps and need to be converted to SRT which again has no formatting. |

I have just tried converting an mkv with 5.1 DTS audio, however when played on PS3 it says that the audio is only 2 channel. This is using 2.4.4. Additionally, i have set the file to be split into 4gb files for FAT32, 2 of the files play but the other 2 do not. The PS3 reports one as being unsupported, and another as not having enough memory!

"The problem was caused buy the MKV container. if the ripper had left it as a M2TS file, it would have just played. MKVTOVOB/M2TS has what was a well Known bug when handling DTS audio only MKV. Due to the library its using, it can fail. what you need to do is convert the DTS stream to another audio codec first. instead convert the DTS to AAC 5.1 or DD5.1 then use a remuxer to combine it with the H264 video stream as MP4/M2TS.

Also, if you want to take a file (maybe already converted) and just split it without going through the whole conversion thing, what would you do?
I'm still not sure whether I want my movies in two different halves. Even if the files are too big for FAT32 I've still got TVersity to stream them, so I'd like to have both options without going through the conversion process twice. |

Okay, I tried converting a movie tonight and video-wise it went smoothly. My main problem seems to be sound.
This didn't use to happen with smaller mkvs (with pretty much identical properties otherwise), but now whenever I'm done converting I get a video with no sound at all when I play it on my computer. When I stream it on the PS3 through DLNA, I just get static for sound. This isn't just happening on the movies that originally had DTS (which on the PS3 came out as 2Ch PCM), but on all of the movies I've tried. Since the latest updates I haven't done anything with the sound settings in mk2vob. They are all default except I have the preferred language changed to Japanese. "Use PCM instead of AC3" is unchecked. "Use 448kbps AC3" is also unchecked. "Don't use DTS in PCM" is unchecked as well. I can get this to work if I just get around this sound issue. |

I'll set that on tonight and continue when I wake up tomorrow.
Also I just found out that the subtitles are in "ASS" format. The original audio for the movies I have is either Japanese DTS 5.1 or Japanese AC3 5.1 (I think), both in 640kbps. |

V2.4.5 18/Feb/2009
Added DTS can now be transcoded to AC3 in AVCHD mode (if you want to reduce filesize). Fixed "unsupported" or "out of memory" error on ps3 with some split files. Fixed old ac3 encoder which causes stuttering still used when downsampling/fixing ac3. Fixed DVD-5 split sometimes a few bytes too large. |

so does this mean it can now play dts audio from a file say on an ext. usb hdd now or not? if so that is pretty huge and there is getting to be less and less of a reason to use my popcorn hour for movies though I still prefer it. I do still however prefer 720p tv eps from a 2.5" ext. usb hdd formatted to fat32 on the ps3. Maybe If I didn't have to store my avchd vid cam clips on the ps3, I would transfer movies onto there (I dont like streaming from pc) or if the ps3 could hold larger then 320gb hdd. but i think that is still the largest 2.5" sata drives they make. |

Hello!
1. Why AVCHD without transcoding are only for AVCHD with height above 584? (Technical problem?). It's a huge problem because 90% of 720p mkv's are 544, sometimes 528 or 536. Is it a chance that mkv under 584 will be convert without transcoding in the near future? 2. "For USB mode The output wiil be FAT32 Compliant, but You still require a drive with enough free for the whole movie" - I have 8GB USB drive... if I convert to AVCHD USB for example 6 GB movie (I cant choose file splitting), then outputfile will be in 2 parts 4gb and 2GB? and I can play it on my PS3?? But i must have this two parts on my 8GB usb drive?? Is that correct?? PS: Sorry for my English Last edited by incognitos; 23rd February 2009 at 21:57. |
