Linux CLI: transcoding HQ to PS3
Hi,
It's been 4 years since my last confession, err login to this forum and a lot has changed since then... All of my old rips (xvid+ac3) are streamed nicely to my ps3 using mediatomb. To insert subtitles, I use the piggybacking method mencoder offers me. Now I have a new requirement: I want to start ripping to .mkv or .mp4 since it can save me some storage space, but my ps3 won't play .mkv ans .mp4 supposedly doesn't support more than 2 channels of sound. On top of that, My new HD recorder can handle far better quality than DVD-quality, so using my transcoding script, I would be serving DVD-quality stuff to my ps3 and Full HD-tv... In short: I have searched a lot on this subject, but I cannot get to see the complete picture: ffmpeg, mencoder or vlc to transcode? x264 or h264? mp4 or mkv or m2ts? I need to transcode (single pass, real time) to any of these formats: # Memory Stick Video Format # - MPEG-4 SP (AAC LC) # - H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile (AAC LC) # - MPEG-2 TS (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, AAC LC) # MP4 file format # - H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile (AAC LC) I would like of course the highest possible quality and 5.1 sound - if my searches were not completely worthless, this would mean I have to transcode to m2ts, but I have no clue how to do that and I don't think I'm the first to try this (although google, doom9, videohelp, avsforums etc seem to not help me...) Any hints? Links? Scripts? THX! |

So I tried to install pms-svn since the latest stable release of pms is dated march 2009. The build failed and frankly I'm not too fond of the java-dependencies. If this is the only way to get it working, I'll live it of course, but I'd rather handle this with a transcoding script.
So, thank you very much for your suggestion, but do you know if there is a manual for the linux/CLI version of tsMuxeR? If I can find the options, I might be able to put together a script. THX! |

Well, for PS3, can't you just remux from MKV to M2TS as long as the video and audio streams are compatible? I do something similar to play MKVs on my 360.
Or use a script like this http://sticky123.blogspot.com/2008/0...-on-linux.html Note: I neither run Linux nor have a PS3. |
