No. Not unless it is converted to a different format; whether it be on the fly or completely.

Just to clarify, by "on the fly" he means having a program transcode it while streaming it to your PS3, and by "completely" he means having a program create another file that's compatible with your PS3.

In very, very basic terms.

Not necessarily true.

If the video and/or audio stream within the .mkv is not compliant with the PS3, mkv2vob will automatically re-encode it.

Moreover - though I'm not sure - mkv2vob doesn't support all the subtitle types that .mkvs do. So if, say, you happen to have an episode of some obscure Japanese anime that has .ssa subtitles, mkv2vob won't be able to transfer those subtitles over.

The Tmuxer program converts it to m2ts which works on the PS3.

PS3...it only does everything(that Sony allows it to)

tsMuxer doesn't convert anything. It REMUXES files to the .m2ts CONTAINER. There's a distinct difference between converting and remuxing.

Remuxing would be like transferring the contents of one box into another.

Converting would be like turning the contents of one box into something else and then transferring them into another box.

Also, some of the video/audio streams in .mkv files are incompatible with tsMuxer.
