I had a couple of movies that I used MKV2VOB to convert and they did not work. I believe they were ripped from an HD-DVD. The root file was a 1080P .iso file that came from a PS3AXXHD website. I extracted the .m2ts file out of the BDMV/STREAM folder. I ran that through the MKV2VOB and I got corrupted data when the PS3 tried playing the movies. I ran the movies through RipBot264 and it took dang near 24 hours, but they converted to MKV files. I then ran them through TSMuxer and changed it to a .m2ts file. Every time I do that process every movie plays on the PS3. DTS audio, odd resolution, it doesn't matter, they have all played.
I do all of the work on my internal HDD's on my PC and once I confirm that they play, I have a 2TB NAS device that I copy them over to. I then leave them there until I want to watch them. I have had 2 movies out of 140 movies that are giving me trouble.
I KNOW they played but I checked all of the 140 movies the other day and I have 2 that when they try to play say "corrupted data."
Does anyone know why this would occur on a movie that used to work? I run TVersity. I installed the latest version of it and tried it all again. I've reset everything that I know of. The movies play fine on Media Player or PowerDVD, but the PS3 won't play those two movies.
So... these two videos of yours... are you saying they aren't working after mkv2vob or tsMuxer?
If it's the former, then you obviously have to run it through tsMuxer. If it's the latter, then it was likely encoded wrong. I have a feeling that's the case anyway, since you say it was an HD-DVD rip.
Sometimes the file will be made to work on the PC and not necessarily geared towards the PS3, which is why it won't play on your PS3. You'll have to re-encode the video... which'll take another 24 hours.
My brother is running a new Media Server, Twonky Media Server. I have been running TVersity. My brother told me that Twonky would stream the Transformer movie without any problem. Sure enough, I registered my copy of Twonky and it will stream Transformers no problem. I tried it on Beowulf and to no avail, it does not work. Still get the corrupted data message.
If I remember right, it was a 2 file rip, totaling about 16 gigs for Disc1 & Disc2. Oh well, I'll just re-download a 720P copy of it and try it out. 99% of the time MKV2VOB always works. Wonderful program really. If I run media info on the file and it's an AC3 audio, then I just run TSMuxer and try the video. Most of the time it works. If it's DTS audio, I used to run the DOS batch file that converts it, but it's just as easy to load up MKV2VOB and let it run. It's not bad, if I put it on the MPEG2 fast setting.
