SKYHD or 1088i on PS3 ??

[zeroprobe]

Has anybody gotten this to work. I have a capture which is 1920x1088i 25fps H264. All I get on the PS3 is corrupted file yet when I burn a clip of it as AVCHD or BD9 the PS3 plays it perfectly.

Obviously BD9 is not big enough to hold the whole capture and would like to transfer the big file onto the PS3. This has to be a bug in the XMB.

You can transfer the whole movie converted to m2ts via web server (like Apache2...for Windows maybe you'd prefer Red Kawa)

thats the problem. When I transfer the m2ts which works on disc don't work.

the problem are the 8 additional lines.
the ps3 plays 1088i only from disc.

does anyone know a way to cut the additional lines without reencoding?

Yes, I have had this same problem.

I tried changing the header from 1088 to 1080 which resulted in very slow playback

Have you noticed green lines at the very top of the picture?

if i play it on the pc i have a white line on the bottom.

"1080p" videos are always actually 1088, since H264 and in general MPEGs use 16x16 macroblock.

I'd also like to know how you edited the header.

Try this. Get lasted h264info (at the moment I'm writing this is 0018) and fill with write PPS on:

WxH: 1920x1080

SkyHD files should play fine if you run then through TSMuxer with "Add picture timing info" and "Continually insert SPS/PPS" checked.

I can confirm I got a 1088i file playing last night (via streaming), haven't watched it all the way
through yet, but from fast forwarding through it seems to be in sync and playing fine.
I used the default settings and didn't change anything, except to add the video stream
and choose the outgoing file. As you can see its a 1088i file.

I'm running this on a Macbook via crossover, so it should mux quicker
on a native windows machine.

great stuff thanks. I shall try.

This works but audio is out of sync when run through tsmuxer :(

[B4tm4n]

Use ptscalc to find the delay and enter it in to tsmuxer.

Yup already got there with mediainfo :) I've mentioned it in the TSmuxer thread. If the other programs can find the delay then it would be good if TSmuxer included this as well.

EDIT: I get the odd stutter sometimes :( and flicker. Anyone else having this issue?

I put it down to the PS3s XMB can only output at 60hz in HD resolution when my content is suppose to be played back at 50hz. The PS3 will only playback 50hz when in AVCHD mode :(
