PS3muxer - Remux MKV to M2TS for play on Sony PlayStation3

[ExSport]

If you have PS3, it definitely supports it, whatever receiver you have.
It depends on PMS version you are using and also sometimes on PS3 audio settings.

I tested it on 5 different receivers (with PS3) and it works without problems(HDMI or TOSLINK(optic) tested). Most problems are if you have set audio volume not in center(normal) on PS3. Every touch on this hacked stream will break it=static noise or silence.
And also I don't understand why it is bad method for many people? In almost all cases it is enough to install PMS and play it via PS3 XMB(audio via receiver) and it works without any tricks with media file.
I agree with one, that DTS packed in LPCM 2.0 stream is not working when you don't have external receiver :)

I agree with one, that DTS packed in LPCM 2.0 stream is not working when you don't have external receiver :)

1) I like watching movies on TV (TV speakers or headphones because big speakers disturbs my family);
2) My amplifier (not receiver) is not understand DTS (only AC3, MPEG and PCM);
3) I have two media players which can play DTS but i like PS3;
4) I can't hear difference between DTS and 640k AC3 after reencoding;
5) Reencoding DTS to AC3 - 3 minutes;
6) I don't want to boot PC with PS3MediaServer software for watching movies on PS3;
7) I don't want to tune PS3MediaServer.

I store m2ts movies on WD MyBook NAS (builtin TWonkyMedia) and can watch they at any time on PS3 or other home media players. It's very simple and no noise from PC.
Router with pshare and udpxy give me IPTV.
I don't like PC and wires.

I don't force you to use my program. PS3Muxer is pleasant to other people.

Tested the auto-detection feature of 1.30 with several mkvs and it always worked :)

A little request:
since main use of your app is to convert mkvs on pc and play them on the ps3 using usb key/hdd (always formatted in fat32), I think it's better to set fat32 split as default (just to avoid the need to set it manually every time I run your tool)

P.S.
What is "h.264 level 4.1" for?
I never checked it and all my converted mkvs always worked fine

Same with AC3 bitrate... since your tool doesn't re-encode audio/video why I can choose it?

Hi clark15b
I didn't wanted to fight with you like it seems maybe now.
I understood it like you are trying to play movie with DTS on youir PS3 and external receiver so I only informed that it is possible without any pre-conversion.
I am sure your utility is helpful for others but I uderstood it like this utility or steps are needed before file can be played on PS3.
Nothing less nothing more:devil:

Hi clark15b,

I wanted to tell you your PS3 Muxer is fantastic. After having to learn a myriad of applications and scripts over the years to convert mkv's, PS3 Muxer pulls them all together in a tailored package. In particular the audio conversion which removes multiple layers of demuxing conversion remapping and muxing with multiple tools and scripts not to mention the batch scripting. This is an absolute must for any PS3 owner. I have used on all video and audio variants with no issues. Please keep up the excellent work.

A suggestion for 1.31:

- please make PS3 Muxer remember last options used or last folder selected when reopened :)

I also suggest to set "fat32 split" as default, since the main task of this tool is to convert mkvs for ps3 and all files have to be less than 4gb :)

clark are you there? :)

Clark, thanks for this useful program. Your tool makes converting from mkv to m2ts a lot simpler.
:thanks:

As MKV2VOB seems to make my files stutter and drop frames (and development has stopped), it would be nice if someone would make an alternative that would wrap the DTS stream in 2ch LPCM. PS3 Media Server does this on the fly, and I can copy the files to the PS3, but I want to be able to convert them and place them on my server...

Any chance of implementing DTS -> LPCM support in PS3muxer?

I still don't know how to pack DTS into LPCM stream :(
Any ideas?

Thank you for this program, it works great with the ps3!

I was wondering if you could create the functionality for xbox 360 users, using a MP4 container and converting to stereo AAC. i realize there are many programs that do this but most of them are not cross-platform like yours. and im in need of an xbox muxer for mac, been looking everywhere for such a thing and i have yet to come across it. tried using command line tools and the audio rarely syncs, and im not sure how to downmix 5 channel to stereo (the xbox only supports h264, and 2 channel aac in the mp4 container) :(

unless you know of a program that is cross-platform, im sure there are others that would like an xbox muxer for mac as well.

Once again, thanks for the program, it works great with the ps3, but sometimes all i have access to is the xbox or else i would just use the ps3 haha.

Clark, I downloaded ps3muxer from ps3muxer.org as well as 2 other ressources and each time Avira Antivir alerts a virus!

I installed it in a virtualization and the origin seems to be a file named rm.exe, which also was reported to be infected. Removing rm.exe did not affect ps3muxer in any noticable way, a remuxed mkv ran perfectly (I did not dare to move it out of the virtualization, though).

If rm.exe is not needed, could you please remove it from the installer (even in case of a false positive I would feel better wo. virus warnings). Thanks!

It might be a port of or a program to do what the 'rm' command does in Unix/Linux which is to delete files, which could possibly explain why it comes up as a virus. Of course this is just a guess, but still. He might use it to delete any temporary files created while using the program (which would explain why the program still seems to work fine after you delete it).

no virus warning here, using Microsoft Security Essentials :)
