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?

Hi Ryu,

I have read this thread for the past 2 days or so, looking for a poster with the same problem as my own. While I see some that are similar, none are exactly my problem so this is why I have posted.

I have a .mkv file that plays incorrectly on my PS3. Here is a MediaInfoRaw readout:

Width : 960 pixels
Height : 544 pixels

Writing library : x264 - core 57 svn-699C
Encoding settings : cabac=1 / ref=5 / deblock=1:-2:-1 / analyse=0x3:0x113 / me=umh / fpel_cmp=sad / subme=7 / me-prepass=0 / brdo=1 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=16 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=1 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=2 / deadzone=21,11 / chroma_qp_offset=0 / threads=3 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / mbaff=0 / bframes=3 / b_pyramid=1 / b_adapt=1 / b_bias=0 / direct=3 / wpredb=1 / bime=1 / keyint=250 / keyint_min=25 / scenecut=40(pre) / rc=2pass / bitrate=1983 / ratetol=1.0 / rceq='blurCplx^(1-qComp)' / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=10 / qpmax=51 / qpstep=4 / cplxblur=20.0 / qblur=0.5 / ip_ratio=1.40 / pb_ratio=1.30
Language : English


Now then, I can MKV2VOB this file fine and it WILL play on the PS3 but it keeps the aspect ratio that is stated above and therefore is squished on the screen. However, it will play in the .mkv container on my PC in a ratio of 1280x544. Why is it that it will play is a correct aspect ratio on my PC but not on the PS3? Is there a way to fix the video from playing squished on my PS3?

Hey all,

Having the same problem that people are having with remuxed .mkv files with level 5.1 h.264 encodes playing audio but not showing video after remuxing.

I follwed Ryu's suggestion of:

mkvextractGUI > demux .dts and h.264 streams
h264info (alpha 23) > convert to profile L4.1
used meGUI + AC3filter > convert .dts to .ac3
tsMuxeR > mux the raw h.264 + .ac3 file into .m2ts file

PS3 won't recognize .m2ts, so after some Googling, renamed to .m2t and it's readable - but I'm still getting no video. audio works fine.

help? thanks!

so I'm comparing the files that aren't working (the ones that i've used mkv2vob to convert) and they're all L5.1.

Ryu you thought the reason that some videos weren't showing video but had audio was because of the level, right?

obviously it's something else. argh.. this is frustrating.

I have ran into the same problem a few times, a recode with the latest version of x264.exe and MeGUI/AviSynth will solve your issue 99.9% of the time.

is there a guide somewhere that you can point me to?

I'm new to .mkv files as of this weekend. :)

Thanks!

this thread is great, I have been able to take mkv's and make mt2s files to play on the ps3. I also have created movie intros using blender(fox logo changed to my theater name). I was wondering if there was a way to combine the intro with the M2Ts files I created so that I have a seemless home theater display when starting a movie.

I tried it with tsMuxer and I got an error message saying the file extensions had to be the same. I made the extentions the same but I get another error when trying to append the file with tsMuxer.

has anyone tried to do this before? any help would be appricated.

Is there any way to convert non-720p (like 1280x544) .mkv videos to a format that PS3 understands with the original aspect ratio intact?
mkv2vob changes the aspect ratio so the video is stretched and so does tsmuxer.
mkv2vob also seems to invert front left and front right audio channels.
At least the two videos I "remuxed" had this problem.

I saw in the earlier posts maybe someone can tell me how but i think you are supposed to be able to copy over a avchd movie so that you have the whole movie on your ps3 hard drive and don't have to split it up into smaller than 4gb files and play them seperately. Every time I make a avchd file it plays fine from the my external drive but it will not let me copy it over to the ps3 hard drive is there a way to fix this?

Hi everybody,

Recently I found the way to make AVCHD out of .mkv files, in order to play HD movies on my PS3.
So, as you described many times in prior posts, I use mkvextract to obtain the .h264, .ac3 files out of a .mkv, then I run h264info to change the level to 4.1 and finally I use tsmuxer to create a Blu-ray structure (note: I also insert a .srt file, with subtitles for my language - not English :p ).

My question is if anyone knows how to proceed with output files bigger than 4.7 GB. I know tsmuxer has the ability to split files, but I have seen the following result:

Have a let's say 6 GB .h264 and it's equivalent .ac3 file and .srt file, load them in tsmuxer, choose to split at 4 gb -> the output is a blu-ray structure, with the folders BMDV and CERTIFICATE, and in BMDV/STREAM/ i have 2 files - let's say xxxx.m2ts and yyyy.m2ts.

My question (boy, I thought i won't stop writing) is:
Is there any way to write this on 2x 4.7gb DVDs ?

Thank you for your time,
Stef
