I have managed to convert a mkv file using tsmuxer, . when i played it in my ps3 it has a nice green bottom to it, like a letter box.
is there any way in converting without the annoying green bottom

I'm guessing you remuxed it to a Blu-Ray folder? That green box means that your video doesn't have a perfect 16x9 aspect ratio.
The only way to get around that is to re-encode your video with borders on top/bottom to fill in those remaining lines.
...well, that or mux it to .m2ts, but I'm guessing that you use AVCHD because of the subtitle/chapter support?

Yeah, that resolution - 1280 x 534 - is what's giving you the green line.
You can fix that by re-encoding it with an Avisynth script that adds borders to make it an even 1280 x 720 (so... add a 93-line border on top and bottom). However, if you've got an older computer, it'll take a LONG time (my Pentium 4 took about 36 hours to re-encode a 5GB video).
My suggestion would be to simply mux it to .m2ts. You get the audio and video, and you don't have to worry about the green bar anymore. The only problem with that is that the .m2ts container doesn't currently have support for subtitles or chapters.

That means that some of the tracks in the .mkv weren't recognized by tsMuxer. When you click OK, what do you see? If you see your video and audio streams, then you're fine. If you don't... well, then that means that for whatever reason, tsMuxer can't recognize those streams.
Oh, wait, I see.
You most likely won't see the audio file, as it's a DTS stream. The PS3 can't play DTS audio from a container source, so you'll have to extract it from the .mkv with MKVExtract and convert it to 5.1 AC3 audio with eac3to (or whatever program you like to use).
Once that's done, just mux it into an .m2ts file with tsMuxer, and it should work okay.

S'no problem.
Download mkvtoolnix and MKVExtractGUI. Install mkvtoolnix and extract MKVExtractGUI from its zip/rar folder. Then take the "MKVExtractGUI.exe" file and place it in the same folder as mkvtoolnix.
So if mkvtoolnix is located in "C:/Program Files/mkvtoolnix/"...
Then put MKVExtractGUI.exe in "C:/Program Files/mkvtoolnix/".
Then open up MKVExtractGUI.exe and load your .mkv into it. You should see all the streams. (On mine, though, I constantly had to reload the .mkv.) Choose your audio stream and demux it.
Once that's done, get eac3to. You can get it here: http://www.videohelp.com/tools/eac3to
Unzip it, and inside the extracted folder, you'll see "yr_eac3to_more_gui.exe". Click that to start up the GUI.
Once in the program, you should be able to find your way fairly easily.
Anyway, once the conversion process is done, open up tsMuxer again. Load your .mkv, but only select the video. Load up your new 5.1 AC3 file, as well, and mux it to M2TS. Everything should work out within a couple minutes, then.
EDIT:
...okay, so apparently tsMuxer has a Demux option, too. So you can just use tsMuxer to demux and remux, instead of installing mkvtoolnix/MKVExtract for the demuxing step.

Yeah, just about. Just mess around with the settings a bit (bitrate, mostly), and once you've got something you like, go ahead and convert. Then remux as already suggested.

Hm... well, I usually use ImgBurn, but any burning program should be good.
