I know I already started a thread related to this, but maybe because of a bad choosen toopic I did not get much response... So I give it another (final) try...

Recoding mpeg2 to h264 seems pretty straight forward when using tools like nero recode - but:

Target of this thread is it to develop a howto for encoding/authoring a dvd to a file playable on blue ray (ps3) that preserves subtitles, multiple audio in ac3/dts (without recoding) and chapters.

All this should be possible without commercial software wherever possible and as few as possible steps and as automated as it can get...

If guides for mkv2avc are valuable go on - but mkv2avc this is not toppic for this thread...

Ok... I hopefully do not break a rule but I'd like to use this thread to keep track of my ideas and post my results... Feel free to join and posts hints and ideas...

Most people seem to be interesteds in mkv's... Well I'm not - but I found some ideas and hints there...

Vob seems to be the container that's most promising. It seems to be able to transport chapters, subtitles, h264 and multiple ac3 streams in a way the ps3 will play...
So I will go for that first...

Plan1:
recode using nero recode
demux using evodemux
remux using ffmpeg to vob

Alternative tools: tsremux ?

This will hopefully result in an vob stream with working video and multiple ac3 audios

Plan2:
same as Plan1 and
demux original vob to get subtitles and chapters evodemux (?)
remux using ffmpeg (?)

Find my holy grail ?
