3r1c, I don't suppose you know how to convert hd-dvd to blu-ray so it will play on the PS3 do you?
I got as far as stripping the video/audio from the .evo and remuxing it back through tsremux to .m2ts/blu-ray structure but the result was very choppy. I'm sure there's an easy way to do it. Thanks! |

I gave your ffmpeg commandline a shot on my linux box, but no success. :-(
Has anyone else succeeded in doing this manually? All I get is "incompatible data" on my PAL ps3. I tried renaming the vob to mpg but the only difference is, that the ps3 tries to play it once and then afterwards says it's incompatible data. 3rc1 - What are the exact steps your software take? Are they based on some other tutorial? So again - basically all I have to do is: - extract the h264 and ac3 streams - change the level of the video to 4.1 - ffmpeg it into a vob Or am I missing something in between?

how are you changing the level to 4.1 without h264info which only runs on windows? The hex method will not work in all my tests only changing with h264info will play on the ps3. |

Another thing: I tried streaming the file of your app to my PS3 through fuppes. No luck there. I had to put it on a dvd-rw media, to make it work. So I guess there are two problems here. Well, one step at a time.... |

to 3r1c:
Thanks for your great prog, tried it today on PlanetEarth 1080p. What I found is that original resolution of MKV has 1920x1080 but "converted" VOB(it begins from H264 extraction) file has 1920x1088. Maybe bug in Media Info, maybe the problem why on Ps3 there is a blank screen. Tried to fix it with H264info to set it back to 1920x1080 but without success:-( What resolution(1080p source) was your extracted H264 file or final VOB? Thanks ExSport EDIT: I forgot one bug:-) When you use regional settings which use decimal sign "," instead of "." then application will terminate with an error. But it is maybe problem of used utilities, didn't tried them alone... Last edited by ExSport; 17th November 2007 at 12:43. |

I play from the beginning of the file and I have the 2.0 firmware. I download the mkv2vob.rar at this moment (not old version), extract, open mkv2vob.exe, select a .mkv (spiderman sample), I select the output name .vob, save, wait to finish. I burn the sample to a DVD-RW and then play from there or copy to the HD of PS3 and is desincronized. In my computer also is desincronized. I need special codec pack? Regards. |

First I must thank you for a great app! I have been waiting for an app like this for a very long time now.
I have the exactly the same issue as akirax. On the files I made myself the video plays fast the first 10 seconds and then becomes choppy and the a/v is out of sync. On your files, however, it works perfect. I have only tried on 2 files so far but I will investigate it some more during the day and see if I can find whats causing it. I also got the 'no titles' problem where I cant see the .vob files on my USB memory. But I did just set it to display all and then it worked fine. Im on a PAL PS3 with 2.0 firmware. Regards, |

Strange.. If I click display on my PS3 during the playback it cant calculate the bitrate on my files. It says - kbps on both the audio and the video. On your file (the heroes sample) it can calculate without problems.

ok, I converted two tv shows lastnight from .mkv to .vob
I burnt them onto a dvd and watched both on my PS3 I'm 99% happy. The only problem is that it sometimes goes slightly out of sync. It seems to be around the middle but usually goes back in sync again |

Yay. I got it to work now :-)
What I did was 1. Extract the .mkv to .h264 and .ac3 with MKVExtractGui 2. Change level to 4.1 with h264info_alpha0011. IMPORTANT: If I used the alpha 12 version It didnt work! 3. Mux it together with your ffmpeg line: ffmpeg -r 23.976 -f h264 -i video.h264 -f ac3 -i audio.ac3 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f vob output.vob Thats it. I only tried on a 50MB 720p.mkv though, will try on something bigger now. |

I have not tried it on a PS3 but I'm surprised that it plays these files. I looked at the 720p sample on your site and it didn't play on any Windows player I tried (mplayer, vlc, powerdvd, etc.). I only get audio.
Has anyone been able to play these files on anything but a PS3? |

Just converting another .mkv now which is a 2hr 720p movie. It is coming up with the message 'buffer underflow, packet too large'. It looks like it's muxing it anyway so I'll let it carry on and test it when finished.
To the poster above, I haven't tested them on the PC but will do and report back |
