VC-1 encoded m2ts wont play on ps3

[burro08]

Hi Guys

I have a pile of blu-rays and now that sony have added sequential play back i can now put them on my ext hard drive and dont need to swap discs.

I have found that the VC-1 blu-rays dont play ie condemned and never back down.

I have enabled wma in settings and made each part less than 2gb.

Is there something im missing????


Thanks


PS To mods sorry if in wrong place

No, you aren't missing anything. It's simply not supported in a m2ts container unless physically on a blu-ray disc. Silly isn't it?

No not really. It apparently works in a wmv container, of course.

Your other option is to convert the video from VC-1 to H264.:eek:

My brain isnt working today, how can i put it in a wma container? and converting it take too long lol

You can't just remux into a wma container. The wmv container doesn't support the HD blu-ray audio formats.

I was just make a smart ass comment how vc1 is microsoft so thus it naturally works in a wmv container.

All you can do is pray and hope that sony will add support for it some day. Maybe post on this thread in the playstation forums.

The best/easiest for this task imho is ripbot. Just select m2ts for the output and copy stream for the audio (it also lets you make a blu-ray disc on a DVD5 or DVD9, for this you need to fix the output size and encode in 2 pass)

Keeping the default settings (with crf 22 - constant quality) will ensure almost no quality loss. If you really want to go for top notch quality you can try crf 20 or even 18, but it isn't worth the longer encoding times imho; crf 22 is good enough. The default level 4 setting also ensures blu-ray player and hardware decoding compatibility.
