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

[metoo999]

Great work on the update. Just re-tried Battlestar 2x06, which on 2.2.3 had previously repaired the AC3 and resulted in black screen on PS3. 2.2.4 still repaired the AC3, but works now.

[Sephiroth0000]

3r1c,

Great updates on the program and it seems now to be running problem free. I have never really made a request with regards to this program (except for an error log) but anyway to the point....I have noticed that oblivously some files do not need TRANSCODING at all providing they have the AC3 audio and the H264 video but oblivously any other video (VC1, MPEG4-AVC) will require transcoding.... Now this can be very time consuming if you are doing 1080P backups (yes MKV2VOB does 1080P beautifully).... is there anyway at all to make it so VC1 or MPEG 4-AVC would not need transcoding just like H264 or am I dreaming away here lol?.... I mean I have done 1080P backups that need no transcoding in like 1 hour through MKV2VOB and im only running a dual core.

Anyone else out there that would like this feature or is it just me?

[stesmi]

You're mixing up the terminology a little I think.

MPEG-4 AVC is the MPEG name of the standard. Also known as MPEG-4 Part 10.
H.264 is the ITU-T name of the same standard. Was known as H.26L during development.

So MPEG-4 Part 10 == MPEG-4 AVC (Advanced Video Codec) == H.264 == H.26L.

x264 however is a PROGRAM that creates h264/AVC streams. There are lots of other programs that can make those streams. Added that so there's no mixup.

The reason for this is that h264/AVC has been standardized by both MPEG and ITU-T.

Also the PS3 won't work with all h264 files as the PS3 doesn't support higher than High@4.1 whereas the standard (and many encoders) can do up to High@5.1.

I would be lying if I said that did not kinda go over my head lol. Basically I am backing up all the HD DVDs I have and putting them to the PS3 I have (60Gb modded to 200Gb) and just wanted to know if it were possible that mkvs that had VC1, AVC or whatever instead of 264 could not need to be transcoded aswell.....thats all lol. But thankyou for your input though mate I only got lost near the end lol.

[stesmi]

If you only got lost on the last line you're set :) As long as you know that h264 and AVC are the same. Just like H20 and Water are the same thing. Different name, same stuff. VC-1 is a different codec.

I read that someone said it IS possible to play VC-1 in a VOB container on the PS3 but that was ONE person only and I haven't gotten it verified nor have I tried it myself.

Basically when you encode you don't choose between AVC or h264 since it's the same thing 100% regardless of what it's called.

[stesmi]

Also, what I meant with "won't work with all files" - it's exactly what it says, when someone encodes something he chooses options and some of those options aren't supported by the PS3. The reason for that is simple - The h264/AVC decoder in the PS3 is built to play BluRay and can do everything BluRay does and probably not anything outside of that. BluRay options are fewer than the full h264/AVC specification though so when someone makes h264/AVC they might choose (on purpose or by accident) an option that the PS3 won't like and then the video needs transcoding.

So could it ever be possible or forseeable for VC1 not needing transcoding in MKV2VOB?

Basically all im doing is ripping the HD DVD, running it through EAC3TO, making a video only mkv (the codec used in the MKV is reflective the codec used in the actual film) and AC3 5.1 audio file and then muxing them together into MKVMerge and then running the file through MKV2VOB

EDIT: Thanks Stemsi for answering all these questions mate...I know im probably doing your brain in now lol.

[stesmi]

If testing shows that the PS3 does indeed play VC-1 without transcoding then I'm sure that'll be added to mkv2vob but don't hold your breath.

Regarding the questions : no problems with asking or re-asking, I answer what I know and it's very very common that people don't know that AVC and h264 are the same and many even think that x264 is a codec on it's own, or to quote someone : "h264, AVC and x264 are very similar but not identical". x264 is a PROGRAM, h264 and AVC are different names of the same standard and therefor identical. And I'm sorry if I come across as "pushy" or something with my answers, that's not at all my intention :).

Nope you don't come across as pushy brother. I had questions and they were answered so cheers man :)

[naj]

Isn't VC-1 just a different implementation (encoding wise) of H264? I mean, from the specifications, any H264 decoder must be able to decode VC-1 aswell, so, aren't they the same, but encoded with different tools?

Anyway, I know PS3 is able to decode 1080p VC-1 nativelly, at least with the latest firmware. I've tested it myself. The file had .wmv extension. Just don't know why it didn't recognised the audio part on PS3, it was playable in my PC and recognised as DD 2 channel.

[naj]

Actually, nevermind some of what I have written before, here is a comparison between H264 and VC-1:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_H.264_and_VC-1

[3r1c]

VC1 and H264 are completely different.
I have never seen VC1 in a mkv file, so its not supported my mkv2vob.

[DJ_Phatic]

Does mkv2vob do something to the colorspace? I have noticed when playing back on the PC that the original mkv's are fine i.e. black is black, not grey. Whereas output from mkv2vob of the same video the blacks are grey, this is both transcoded and non-transcoded.

[3r1c]

No it does not change the colors.
The fact that it looks different on non-transcoded definately proves its your playback software that is the problem.
The mkv2vob output is meant to be played on the ps3 only, i do not test with software players.

[_leech_]

Any update on the MPEG2 transcoding issue I mentioned a few pages back?

H.264 / AVC is the same, VC-1 is a Microsoft codec, hence the WMV format. They're definately not the same.

And of course the PS3 can decode VC-1 natively. VC-1, AVC/H.264 and MPEG-2 are the video standards that a BluRay may use (same as HD-DVD).

[x400]

loving this still


but ive got this 1 mkv file regardless of what container i put it in... it just wont play on my ps3... it'll be a blank screen when i tell it to play.. the thumbnail pic will show the file playing but it wont :/

at first i had thought it was because i burnt the file onto a udf2.5/2.6 disc so i tried copying it straight to the ps3 through a webserver but it wont play

i tried streaming the video file and it wont play either...????

it'll play on my computer but thats it....

the original file is a mkv x264 with dts audio and subtitles are needed... mkv2vob transcoded the file (had the subs hardcoded onto it) switched the dts file.. everything was done properly :/

[mmace]

any chance you could release the source for this so someone could alter it to add borders to force the resolutions to 720 or 1080 making the video file Blu-ray legal?

it's still the only thing missing in my book, if a file has to be converted then it may as well be converted to 1920x1080 or 1280x720!

[params7]

I have a question. The MKV's I convert already have inbuilt Subs in them. However, outputted from mkv2vob on my ps3, I can not view the subs.


What should I do to be able to have subs as an option in movies?


thanks.

[metoo999]

How much quality is lost when you transcode a 1080p file? Does it just lower the profile to 4.1?

Too bad about VC-1 WMVs. I just tried a 1080p 5.1 sound file and it played beautifully, but no sound. Apparently the PS3 doesn't support WMV Pro or 5.1 sound on those files. Oh well. It would be nice not to have to transcode/remux everything.

To have the OPTION to enable subs in movies I don't think there's a way but if you want them encoded onto the video you can use the "Always Encode Subtitles" option and it'll encode it from the mkv.

How much quality is lost when you transcode a 1080p file? Does it just lower the profile to 4.1?

Basically yes, that's what it does and not much quality (maybe not even noticable) should be lost. It just changes the flags in the frames. The difference between Profile 4.1 and Profile 5.1 (High@4.1 vs High@5.1) is the bitrate allowed in a frame and average in a bitstream. Most streams fall within that category regardless of being encoded with 4.1 or 5.1 selected.

It's not ONLY 4.1 vs 5.1 that's the issue though as there are a few other options that are allowed in H.264 and not allowed in the BluRay supported H.264, for example B-Frames can only be 3 or less where as H.264 has way higher limits, etc.

Too bad about VC-1 WMVs. I just tried a 1080p 5.1 sound file and it played beautifully, but no sound. Apparently the PS3 doesn't support WMV Pro or 5.1 sound on those files. Oh well. It would be nice not to have to transcode/remux everything.

Yup, I agree, but the support for H.264 at all is just by pure luck - it's undocumented and just happens to work. We're happy by what we get and hope more comes.

If you are ripping the source yourself then it should already be 1920x1080 (all I ever use). If you wish for 1280x720 im very sure that MKVmerge has an option to allow you to change it (do not quote me on that though as I only do 1080P)

[plantunes]

I just would like to suggest that it would be great in a newer version of MKV2VOB to have the possibility to minimize the program into the tray...just as we can do with several other programs, such as e-mule or utorrent...

Apples and oranges though, nowhere in there does it say H.264 in a VOB or MPG container, which is what we're doing, so maybe poor wording on my behalf but since we're discussing mkv2vob I meant "in a vob container".

The "problem" is that if you want to use anything but AAC sound you have to use the undocumented "H.264 in a VOB container" which is what we're using.

What you quoted has it in an MP4 file format, as in MP4 container/MPEG-4 Part 1, .mp4, which is the official container format for H.264/AVC video and AAC/MPEG-4 AAC/MPEG-4 Part 3 is the sound format of choice there, AC3 is not supported.

And before anyone comments, yes m2ts container is also supported for AVCHD, but AVCHD is just a subset of the full AVC standard and what mkv2vob can convert can do lots more than AVCHD supports.

[naj]

Just out of curiosity, what can't AVCHD do?

[stesmi]

http://www.avchd-info.org/format/index.html

Less resolutions, lower bitrates, etc. Max 24mbit/s streams for instance.

[Sephiroth0000]

Thats if you are doing BR....I was referring to HD DVD.

[God Radio]

My question is I ripped an HD DVD and created an mkv but the problem is it has both an dts audio and an ac3 5.1 audio tracks.

How do I tell mkvtovob to select the dts file and ignore my ac3 5.1 file?

I want to stay away from re-ripping as i am used to just dragging and dropping and for some reason I am unable to get just why nero selects both audio tracks from the disc and mkvmerge selects both audio tracks?

Please can we just have a function where we can select what audio track we want to keep( when using mkvtovob) as I know that the dts audio track is good but the second track on my disc is kind of iffy as far as audio quality even if its in ac3 5.1

So I want to use the primary dts audio track from my hd dvd disc so that mkvtovob will make a ps3 compliant file.

Every time I ripp I either forget how to set the audio track thingy and either get no sound or I get several audio tracks so please can you consider this feature in mkvtovob so that we can select the dts audio and tell it to ignore any other audio track?

Thank you.

Wouldn't be easier to encode directly to Blu-Ray structure???

[deerhunter555]

First of all, I really like your program 3r1c. It works great for me.

I'd like to join the discussion about vc-1, I do not mind recoding, so why not add an option to mkv2vob to recode also WMV files to VOB/MPG.

I tested it myself with your mencoder parameters for x.264 and used mencoder to convert WMA 5.1 to AC3. Just muxed the H264+AC3, works fine.

Secondly, would you mind to change the "delete source directory after conversion" to "delete source file after conversion", so I can use this feature without deleting the whole directory but just the "correctly" converted source files?

Thnkx for all your effort in helping us enjoy HD content on our PS3

[vercetti]

i can't convert two files using your program.. The error is related to the extraction or conversion of the dts audio to 2.1....

the files info are in here. http://thoranime.5gbfree.com/dbz.htm

thank you for your great work :)

[BippyM]

Hi

I'd like to say I love this program and I have successfully remuxed a couple of films, but the last 2-3 I have tried have failed!

One fails and says muxing failed, not sure why!

Others say they are successful but I only end up with 1gb (original is 8gb).

Any ideas?

[1ellis2345]

Hi,

Great program! But i'm having the same problem as BippyM.

I've converted quite a few films using this great program and all have worked fine. But the last couple are failing at the very end of the process. Even a film i know works fine with mkv2vob (i converted it put it on disc, then lost it lol) now fails!

Can anyone help?

[atzplzw]

I always get a Muxing Failed error with all the mkv's I tried.
How can I find out what the problem is?

I could provide filenames via private message if necessary!

[God Radio]

Wouldn't be easier to encode directly to Blu-Ray structure???

I tried my file in mkv2vob and it gives me an unsupported audio message?

Then I tried the TSmuxer app. and I had the option windows of video and audio dts and audio ac3 5.1.

My problem was solved by selecting the remove option for the DTs audio track.

Then I kept the video and ac3 audio from my original HD DVD folder.

I selected mux to mt2ts (BDAV? whats that?) and five minutes later I had a playable movie file for my PS3 and my HD DVD discs can stay inside the cases.

So problem solved but I hope that mkvtovob will sooner or later have these options also as TSmuxer solved my problem.

My fav. programs so far are mkvtovob and tsmuxer.

Anywho its getting harder and harder to justify my use of Nero 7 as it takes sixty bucks for purchase and once purchased its 24 hours per movie file.(and I am not spending more money to "upgrade"?......bah! to Nero 8).

Versus either mkvtovob or tsmuxer and a few minutes for a playable movie file for the PS3.

Yep.......geez am I stupid but I am very slowly learning the buzz words of MKVtoVOB, TSmuxer, DVDShrink, etc.

Well thanks for reading this.

Hello , first i have to thank you for this handy piece of software. now to my question(s)

- How do i cut the re-encoded file ? What software do i have to use ?
- What is the difference btw all the encoding options ( quality and size ) ?

Thank you

tin

[stesmi]

Cut: You can do that in MKV2VOB.
Differences: H.264 : best quality, smallest size. XviD: Medium/medium. MPEG-2: Lowest Quality, largest size.

Its best to select automatic as the transcoding option as mkvtovob just changes the AUDIO from DTS to AC3 5.1 and the video is not modified.

The container extension that always works for me is mt2ts

Memory stick 4GB

Transcode selection automatic.

I get a working and wonderfull ps3 ready video/audio movie file every, single time.

If you get the rare file that does need transcoding:
I pick either xvid or X264


Example:
An movie file with one video track and one audio track DTS with size at 4.36 GB.

You get one file at 4GB and a second file about 400MB to 600MB.

I load the first file onto my 4Gb mem stick and copy to PS3 hard drive then I make space on my mem stick for the second part of the movie file and I also copy to PS3 hard drive.

Press play and enjoy.


Hope this helps?

[tin01]

Thank you for all the answers. I want to cut the transcoded vob to get it on 1 DVDR ( beginning + end credits )... What app do i use ?

H.264 : best quality, smallest size - interesting. will give a try.

Freeware: TSmuxer.

Example:
MT2ts movie file 7GB

Feed the 7GB file into TSmuxer and either select cut tab and select start and end times or select the split tab and select split every:

3500 and in the size window select MB

This gives you two files at 3500 MB.

Second example

A movie file is 4.6 GB and you have a dvd r (dvd 5) 4.3 GB and a CD disc (700 MB)

Select in the TSmuxer split tab split every 4200 and in the second window select MB.

This gives you a 4200 MB MT2ts movie file for dvd-r and a second part at more or less 200 MB or so MT2ts movie file perfect for a CD disc.


Third example:

You want to fit a 4.5 GB MT2ts movie on a 4.3 GB dvd-5 disc.

Load the 4.5 GB movie and select start point (say seventy seconds from start) to cut the start credits and then select and end time that cuts six minutes or so from the movie and you get a MT2ts movie from TSmuxer that fits on a single dvd-r.

Hope this helps?

for some one whos actually done this in tsmuxer i can tell you that it wont work, it just wont. im not going to explain why take to mutch typing.

but i will tell you how to cut the file....

this is all done with a file that been through mkv2vob

1. use tsremuxer to extact the audio and video.
2. use mkvmerge to re-create an mkv from the 2 streams make sure you set the fps and the aspect ratio for your video
3. take the mkv that just got muxed and drop it in to tsmuxer and cut where ever you want

[anothadave]

would be nice to be able carry on after an "insufficent disk space" error. mkv2vob spent 45mins extracting the mkv and converting the dts audio then decided there wasnt enough disk space. so ive deleted some stuff but now its got to go through the whole 45mins again. im sure the extracted mkv could of been kept in the temp directory and carried on the process after i made some room. or possibly give an estimate of required space before it starts doing something.
great program, must be one of the best apps for the ps3 around :) done around 40 mkvs now, had trouble with about 4 but the latest update sorted out 3 of them.

Too many steps since you allready have an MT2ts file thats PS3 compatible at 720p and even if its a simple .ts folder if its at 720p and has at least one ac3 track then its just select MT2ts output and select either the time to be cut at or split at selected file size.

Thats strange since I recoded with Nero 7 in Nerovision 4 make an AVCHD( since the PS3 only likes 720p when its on the hard drive) and I got a 7.5 GB MT2ts file with AC3 5.1 audio. (and dumb me forgot to de-select the dts audio track.......geez color me real dumb.)

I loaded it into the latest version of TSmuxer and it split the file into two parts(close to just under the 4 GB limit per file) and both of these parts got loaded on my PS3 hard drive and they both do FF,REW, pause and play and I get Dolby Digital out via optical.

And on listening tests all of my speakers are working: l, r, c, sr, sl, subwoofer.


I made it into a 720p version but I forgot to remove the DTS track.

And only by removing the DTS audio track (yes I forgot to remove it in Nerovision) and keeping the video track and ac3 audio does it work.

I used the TSmuxer to split the file since it drives me nuts to keep changing discs in and out of the PS3 drive or the HD DVD drive on the lower shelf.


It worked for my discs of 300, transformers, T2, Beowulf, Cars, Swordfish, Rush Hour 3 (hey folks the HD DVD was four bucks still sealed in its case so bazing it got purchased),

What can I say since it works for me and hey the wife is Happy that the Heroes season one(HD DVD) is on the PS3 hard drive as the originals are safe and secure in the cases.

I seem to have found a problem with the sound conversion in MKV2VOB.

I converted Hitman the other day with a DTS Core 1.5mbps soundtrack. The option "boost DTS volume" was checked.

The resulting file worked fine on the PS3 - but sometimes the voices got distorted, scambled and the sound lost detail. As I had a WMV copy on my xbox which had perfect sound I did not understand this.

I tried converting the DTS core soundtrack to ac3 myself with eac3to (why doesn't mkv2vob use this - it is so fast and does it in 1 go!). The ac3 file played perfect but was a little lower in volume. So turned it up a bit on the amp.

Now i knew there was a problem in mkv2vob. I tried unkchecking the "Boost DTS volume" and that resulted in the same fine quality as with eac3to - but also i little lower.

What wonders me is - that the first "bad distorted ac3 file" and the other ac3 file - are identical size! So it must have some "gain parameter" in the file which makes it sound distorted.

@3r1c - Are you aware of this problem - and is there a way to revert a ac3 file that has been distorted by this "boost dts volume option"? :confused:

Had the same problem with Semi-Pro - also with DTS core 1.5mbps soundtrack

Just wanted to add to the discussion - I tried converting "The Italian Job" and the voice gradually gets out of sync. MKV2VOB only did remuxing, no transcoding. Boost DTS/AC3 was checked.

Thanks again for the excellent program.

Anyone,

I have a 21Gb 1080P HD file that I am copying over via wired LAN to the PS3 and it keeps on failing at 40%. I have played the file via PC and it works beautifully.....any suggestions? I am streaming it over via Windows Media Player 11 (with MP4 registry add on so it can see the MP4 file)
