Hi, I am setting up converting my dvd collection to my NAS for viewing on my ps3 and am considering TS format via DVD-RB Pro + CCE SP only.

Does the ps3 upscale TS format?
If not should I consider converting the DVDs to MP4 or m2ts?

Ive seen a program called 'DVD to PS3 converter' looks cheap, has anyone used this?

Many questions, before I start a long process of converting!

Thanks

1.) The PS3 upscales almost everything. .vob, .mpg, .avi, .mp4, what have you. That is, of course, if you have the Upscaler turned on.

2.) Also, there are plenty of free programs that will convert from DVD's .vob format to .avi or .mp4 or .m2ts.

Me, I prefer to simply rip the DVD to a hard drive and watching it that way. If you want to save up on space, though, I'd use MeGUI + AviSynth to do your encoding, if only because it allows you complete freedom in encode settings. There are others that are much easier to use, but I find that they don't produce the level of quality that I want.

...but that's just me.

Depending on your preferences, you might be even better off with a .MPG file.

You will loose:
Everything that is not the movie itself
All subtitles/closed captions
All but one audio stream (I usualy keep the 5.1 english stream).

However, you do not loose any video or audio quality, and the process is quick and easy.

And by quick and easy, he means it takes seconds to "convert" the main movie, with audio, and another few seconds to copy it over to the external hard drive/NAS.

So yeah, VERY quick and easy.
