just trying out mkv2vob, it looks like you can set it up to automate the same functions as tsMuxer and eac3to on a queue of files. does it make much difference which container i use? i set it to m2ts just so its the same as files i have already done with tsMuxer. also i can see that mkv2vob will recode files that otherwise would not play on the ps3, does anyone have any comments on the quality of the recode process?

The quality of MKV2VOB encoded files is pretty poor. It will often recode them to MPEG-2 without significantly increasing the file size. This leads to obvious quality loss.
If you want to get good results your best option is to use MeGUI. It can be a little daunting at first but is the best and most flexible encoding software around.

i wouldn't have thought the file size would get much bigger encoding to MPEG-2, after all it can't add quality that isn't there and h264 is MPEG too, i guess it depends on the bitrate mkv2vob uses.
what about different containers when using mkv2vob?
do i have to recode the video to get subtitles? are they then hardcoded?

MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) is a standardisation committee that regulates and provides a standard in which to base codecs and media players on for guaranteed playback within that standard.
Now, you are correct in saying that h264 is part of the MPEG standard. In more correct terms h264 is MPEG-4 part 10. However, by saying that h264 and MPEG-2 video are part of the MPEG standard so they must be similar in quality is quite obtusely removed from the truth of the matter.
Do you remember VCD's? Well, they used the very first MPEG video standard (MPEG-1) and as we all know the quality was terrible.
To finalise, MPEG-2 was great (and still is) for use with regular DVD's but h264/AVC is far more advanced in the algorithms it utilises to create high quality video with extremely efficient compression. I personally feel that to create the same quality video with MPEG-2 in comparison to h264, you would need to use about 4 times the bitrate thus creating a file 4 times in size.
PS: I am not much of a fan of mkv2vob, mainly due to the fact that I prefer a more hands on approach to my media authoring. However, if you like to use it, then yes m2ts would be the best container choice.

Thanks for the tip on MediaInfoRaw! :) I will start to play with this soon and see if I can make some specific assumptions on what to look for to directly indicate what the PS3 will or will not play (video).
As for mkv2vob encode quality...my personal oppinion is just that...it's personal. :) I think overall (generally speaking) picture quality is very subjective from one person to another. Yes, objectively we can sit down and compare specs and all that, and yes, if that is the case, then there are other tools that will do a better job than mkv2vob.
I've done some recodes with mkv2vob to mpg2 and it's ok for me. It is not something I plan on doing, or any recode because it's just too time consumming for me. Don't forget the CPU watt you are using and your time, keeping the computer on...etc. They all have cost associated to it...it may be meaningless to some, but it may be important to others.
My PS3 is hooked to a Samsung 61" DLP 720P and at the distance about 10+', I'm happy with what mkv2vob does on recode to mpeg. That's my eyes and accouting all other variables involved and the end results are acceptable to me at the moment.
I've talked to people with 32" LCD sitting at 8' away and they tell me 1080P is a must...uh, I don't think you can tell the difference personally at 8' on a 32" screen the difference between 720P and 1080P. And I have people that insists HD is barely noticable compared to DVD, and some even insist that after upscaling a DVD, they can't tell the difference.
Anyway, my recommendation for anyone is to try it with a few of the different options and you make your own decision on what is the best choice for you, considering time, cost, effort, end result...etc. :)

sorry, i wasn't trying to say the quality of mpeg-2 is comparable to h264, i just meant that recoding from h264 to mpeg-2 at the same bit rate wouldn't greatly change the file size, obviously the quality of mpeg-2 would be lower using the same bitrate.
how does the PS3 handle subtitles? if i mux an mkv that has subtitle tracks using tsMuxer will i be able to turn them on and off on the PS3, or do they need to be hardcoded onto the video (mkv2vob seems to do something like this)?

The PS3 cannot handle subtitles in a VOB file unless they are hardcoded. You are right, MKV2VOB does exactly this but recodes to MPEG2, as I mentioned.
In MeGUI you can hardcode the subs and re-encode to h.264 so you won't see a substantial quality loss.
If you would like to know how to do it in MeGUI read this link. [url=http://forum.videohelp.com/topic338487.html][/url]

what about other containers? or AVCHD? i've been using m2ts for everything so far.

The PS3 handles subtitles fine. With HD video you are only really left with two choices...
1) If your video is MPEG-4 Part 2 ASP (DivX/Xvid) and your audio is compliant to the DivX certification (AC3, MP3 etc.) then you can mux to the DivX media format with AVIaddXSubs. Link: http://www.calcitapp.com/AVIAddXSubs.php
2) If your video is within the AVCHD/Blu-ray standard (1280 x 720, 1920 x 1080 etc.) then you can use tsMuxeR to output in Blu-ray format. You can import text based subs like .srt and tsMuxeR will convert them to PGS (Presentation Graphics Stream) .sup files as found on Blu-ray discs.

@Euan17, regardless if the movie needs subs or not, I process my movies as Ryu77 described in option 2. It works really well, if you are going to use MeGUI to harcode subs you might as well take the extra step, resize your video to a proper Blu-Ray size and import your subs so they are switchable (turn them on/off). At least now you can put a delay on the subs, whereas if you harcode them they have to be spot on perfect, or else you just ruined your movie.

Ryu or Odin or both...What do you think is the best process to make a box set like family guy or DBZ compatible with the PS3? and how could you resize it to fit the screen better?
I use dvd decrypter to extract the episodes from DVD. From there I convert them to mp4 or avi with winavi video convertor. If you have better suggestions for software please let me know too. I also have no clue on how to get anything I play on the PS3 to fit the screen...I just gave up with mkv files. Most of mine cut off the bottom and top. Thanks for any help.

Why don't you rip them to DivX? DivX is supported natively by the PS3.

Ive tried divx before but the quality was terrible. I want dvd quality atleast. What software do you recommend for divx conversion?

If you think the quality of DivX is "terrible" - you were watching a bad encode.
Go to stage6.com, install the DivX web player, and then watch the video on that page.. double click it to go full screen and tell me that's terrible. :)
As for what to use for DivX conversion - you can either start with a trial version of the DivX Converter (just got to divx.com and download the DivX for Windows bundle - the converter is part of the bundle, as is the web player) or the open source Dr. DivX which will give you more encoding options.

Ok I will try that out. Do you know how to make them fit to tv rather than being in a box?

i read through some pages trying to find if anybody else had a similar problem (which they did) but i couldn't find the answer to it...the problem is that i convert the mkv and output ts muxing....i get video but NO audio
im using tsmuxer 1.8.4
a downloaded mkv file,
info from tsmuxer:

OK, here comes another video encoding newbie ... Hello everyone :)..
First of all, my exceptionally great thanx towards Ryu, *the* man .. Man, your doing a great service here, helping all of us...I really appreciate it man, keep it up !! :D
OK, so Ryu, please help me out too here too, I'm in a sticky spot here myself, and I need some of your expert advice ...
My Problem:
I am trying to convert this MKV file to the Bluray format, using tsMuxeR 1.84(b) ...
I am having the black screen issue like others, although my scenario is a bit more twisted...
Problem Description: After tsMuxeR is done making the Bluray disc structure, I have the two folders BDMV and CERTIFICATE (as expected)...
Now, the main movie file is this one: BDMV\STREAM\00001.m2ts
If I open the above file in MPC, right after tsMuxeR 1.84(b) finishes muxing, the video shows up in MPC... i.e. no black screen ... although there is no audio/subtitle at this stage.. But the video does show up !!
Now if I continue on, and make a proper AVCHD disc out of these two folders, using UDF 2.50 via ImgBurn, the resulting disc gives a black screen when I play it in PowerDVD 8...
That is, in PowerDVD 8, I get no video (black screen), but I do get audio ...
During the tsMuxeR process, I went from 5.1 to 4.1 level ..
Can you please help me with this ... The strange thing is, had the video been incorrect, then shoudnt I also have got a black screen when I played it in MPC .. ?
If the video *did* play fine in MPC, then does this mean that the video itself is OK, and that there is some other problem ?
I have not yet tested the resulting AVCHD disc on my PS3 yet, nor have I checked it with any other Bluray playing software (are there any free ones ?? ) ...
Here are the details for the MKV file I am trying to convert:

Before you go any further make sure you have FFDshow installed and configured to decode at least the main 4 A/V streams, h264, VC1, AC3, and DTS... maybe just go with what it suggests. Second, if you haven't already install CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack), install it as well. Do a search in Afterdawn and you'll find it.
I'd keep using Media Player Classic to watch your m2ts files, it's a small but efficient (and free) player.

I already had ffdshow installed in, but just to be on the safe side, I just download the latest ffdshow and installed it, and have set it to decode the 4 main streams you mentioned ...
Still, the result is the same ... the BDMV\STREAM\00001.m2ts file plays in MPC (Media Player Classic) v.6.4.8.0 .... I can see the video fine, but no audio/subtitles...
Also, like before, when I try to play the complete AVCHD disc in PowerDVD8, I get audio, but no video (black screen) ...
Help please Ryu ..

As I had noted before, with MediaInfoRaw, I was going to try and see if I can find some consistencies to mkvs so that I know ahead of times if I need to recode for the PS3. Well, I can't seem to figure it out...
Here's one that all I had to do was remux to m2ts and it worked fine on the PS3.
Encoding settings : cabac=1 / ref=5 / deblock=1:-3:-2 / analyse=0x1:0 / me=umh / subme=7 / brdo=1 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=16 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=1 / 8x8dct=0 / cqm=2 / deadzone=21,11 / chroma_qp_offset=0 / threads=4 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / mbaff=0 / bframes=3 / b_pyramid=1 / b_adapt=1 / b_bias=0 / direct=1 / wpredb=1 / bime=1 / keyint=250 / keyint_min=25 / scenecut=40(pre) / rc=2pass / bitrate=5065 / 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
Here's one that required recode.
Encoding settings : cabac=1 / ref=5 / deblock=1:-1:-1 / analyse=0x3:0x133 / me=umh / subme=6 / brdo=1 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=16 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=1 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=2 / deadzone=4,6 / 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=9967 / 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 / zones=148787,154246,b=0.15 / aq=1:0.3:15.0
Anyone know exactly what to look for?

I have a question:
I am streaming to a PS3. Extracting audio and vis via tsmuxer.
Converting dts-hdma audio to pcm (wav) via eac3to.
Everthing converts fine. The resulting PCM file says it is shorter than its actual length. I used software to read the header info.
It plays thru fine by itself. When I mux the AVC video with the PCM audio using tsmuxer, the file plays (streams) fine until about 15% into it, when the audio switches to static.
I suspect that tsmuxer is combining audio and video for the time it reads off the PCM header, then gives up and goes to static.
Here's my question, is there a fix for the PCM header info, or can tsmuxer be made to ignore the incorrect information on the PCM header?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Ryu, hope you won't feel too bad about helping out another someone.
Uh, my issue's mainly with AviSynth. In that I don't exactly know how to use it.
I was reading through the first couple of pages for tips on subs in an mkv file, and I realized that I'm gonna have to hardsub them in.
So I created the AviSynth file you mentioned:
DirectShowSource("Filepath/video.mkv", 23.976)
loadplugin("Filepath/vsfilter.dll")
TextSub("Filepath/subtitle.srt")
Then I saved it, put in file extension .avs, and I had it done.
Now I just need to know where to go from here.
The first thing I did was open the avs file with VirtualDubMod, but I don't know where to go from there.
And while I'd like to use MeGUI, there's something wrong with my .NET Framework or something and I'm a bit too lazy to fix it right now.
So should I go ahead with VirtualDub? Or should I fix my Framework and install MeGUI?
Thanks a lot.

Another ps3/HD somewhat newbie here?sorry! :)
So far I have done very well with MKV2VOB for creating VOB files from 720p MKV files. But since I now have a 1080p HDTV, I am trying to get more into 1080p files.
One MKV I have it just the right size to fit on a DVD-9 (about 8.4GB). When I try to use tsMuxer to create an AVCHD iso, it becomes too big. I realized it has a DTS track, so I downconverted that into a 5.1 AC3 mix. But it was still too big. I tried downgrading the audio even further and further, all the way down to 192kbps. Even at the lowest possible setting for the audio, the resulting tsMuxer file is just a little too big to burn on a DVD-9
So at this point, what are my options? Do I just need to use tsMuxer to make a m2ts file, and forgo burning the DVD-9 AVCHD?
Thanks!

I wouldn't go below 640 kb/s AC3. What you need to do is recode the video using MeGUI/AviSynth, most likely resize to a Blu-Ray compliant stream as well to retain DTS. Go to this thread and read-up, there you'll find all sorts of useful information.
