I'm still working with this. I tried it and everything with the borders turned out well but the quality went to sh!t. Can anyone explain what I did wrong?
Also is anyone having ff/rw issues with tsmuxer and the m2ts container. If I convert using MKV2VOB all is well but with tsmuxer once I get past 1.5 it doesnt move. I've seen it addressed before but I can't find it again. I saw somewhere that you used different settings for m2ts and bluray. Please list what I'm supposed to do with each to get the ff/rw working properly.
Thanks guys for making this thread. I have learned a lot from the use of this thread. Right now I'm working with actual BluRay ISOs to reauthor and make an AVCHD disc.

When you add borders do you also use one of the MeGUI Blu-Ray profiles. I found once I started using those the FF/RW functions work much better

I'm having problems with ff/rw in the m2ts container. My AVCHD discs work fine.

Disable the "Continually Insert SPS/PPS" option next to the AVC change level option.

You could append them and set the chapter points at the episode end/beginning point. Other than that I'm not sure

Nope, but I'm confident it will work.

I have run into some problems with the mkv-AVCHD conversions, although most have been perfect. I use the Ryu/Odin method of re-encoding 1080p mkv files uisng meGui/AVSynth/tsMuxer. A couple of the disks I make get the "This video cannot be played" message on the PS3. When I mux those same x264 and DTS audio files in tsMuxer to M2TS files and stream them via TVersity (or copy the files to PS3) to play, the video plays, but no audio.
Any idea what I might have done wrong? Could it be that I need to convert those DTS audio files to AC3 first? If so, what's the best tool? But why did DTS work fine in other cases?
Thanks.

i think this is too vague

It will support all the audio formats that Blu-ray discs have support for. Blu-ray is based on AVCHD architecture. When the PS3 displays that it is an AVCHD, it is really using the same on board decoder responsible for Blu-ray processing.
The compatible audio formats for AVCHD (Blu-ray) on the PS3 are Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS HD High Resolution Audio, DTS HD Master Audio & Linear PCM.

Can't see why you couldn't use any of the commercial DVD authoring programs that have Bluray support - e.g. Nero, ULead, Premiere Pro, Scenarist...

Not sure on the recode what is wrong...but for the M2TS issue, DTS is not supported when playing M2TS files directly - only AC3. DTS is supported, along with all of the other Bluray audio formats, when you play them as AVCHDs (either as optical disc or AVCHD folder on external HDD)

Slightly off topic but interesting none the less...
For a while now it has been bugging me that content streamed to the PS3 is a little darker than content played via Bluray. I haven't really thought too much of it, but when you watch content that is particularly dark (e.g. Beowulf), I start to notice it.
Tonight I thought I'd test this out a bit more, and I found some interesting things...
First of all my setup:
- PS3, HDMI
- Mac Pro with Windows Media Player for UPnP Streaming
- Pioneer 50in PDP-5000EX Plasma (1920x1080 native resolution, HDMI 1.3)
And the test content:
- H.264/AVC movie, originally an HD-DVD, same source remuxed as follows
- M2TS for UPnP streaming
- AVCHD on external HDD for "Bluray" playback
My findings:
- PS3 set to output 1080p - Bluray output is noticeably brighter than both XMB and Streamed Content playback, noticeably better detail in dark scenes than Streamed Content.
- PS3 set to output 1080i - XMB and Streamed Content just as bright as Bluray output, no noticeable differences in video playback between Bluray and Streamed Content.
In essence, if I set my PS3 output to 1080i, I get better, brighter playback for streamed content than 1080p. But for Bluray output, there is no noticeable difference between 1080i and 1080p.
Has anybody else experienced this? It points to differences in the playback modes on the PS3 when outputting 1080p, perhaps the cells can't handle 1080p output as well, assuming streamed content is decoded in software and there is hardware-based decoding onboard for Bluray output?

OK, thanks. That makes sense. Once I went through the trouble of converting DTS to AC3 (using TranzGUI and Belight), the M2TS files play fine on the PS3 with sound. I see also that the Subtitles don't work with M2TS files either, even though they are muxed into the file.
If anyone else has any insights on why the same .264 would result in a playable M2TS file, but not AVCHD, I'd greatly appreciate it. It's happened to 3 of my 1080p MKV encodes so far.

guys
what about cropping a video where the width isn't standard
say, 1963x1080
would the script code be:
Crop(21.5,0,21.5,0)

You can't crop half a pixel so the script would need to be...
Crop(22,0,22,0)
LanczosResize(1920,1080)

Would someone mind offering me some help?
Using tsmuxer, I muxed an mkv with h.264 video and ac3 audio into m2ts files. I changed the level to 4.1 and everything. I split it into 2 files so it would copy to my usb stick(a 3.9gb & 720mb file).
Anyways, my ps3 will read and play the smaller 2nd file but it won't read or play the larger one. I get the unsupported data, data corrupted messages. Any idea what's wrong?
I get the same problems when using mkv2vob too, and I've tried other mkvs with the same results.

Did you format both USB sticks as FAT32? Just curious - what if you split the file by half? Or put the smaller file in the first stick? Could you have a bad stick?
