i have a come across a couple of files where tsMuxer is not recognising the AC3 audio track(!?) are there any other applications i can use to (de)mux mkvs?

What you did is fine, tsMuxeR has the ability to change the AVC level as well. Unfortunately your video needs to be recoded, it's not Blu-ray/m2ts compatible

Hi, now I have most of my movies and TV shows converted for the PS3 I'm moving on to my sports caps. All of these are 1280x720p so will be AVCHD compatible and i've muxed a few m2ts samples (using the cutting feature of tsMuxer) to confirm that the videos play on PS3 without needing recoded. The only issue I have is that some of these videos are split (e.g. hockey games with separate files for periods 1, 2 and 3) and I would like them to play as one continuous video on the PS3. tsMuxer seems to have the option to add multiple videos to AVCHD but I have read on these forums that it does not play back properly on PS3 is there and a tool I can use to join these videos without recoding? or has anyone successfully added multiple video tracks to AVCHD?
I know I could just add the videos as multiple m2ts files but that would have discontinuous playback and would not have chapters to skip through the video.

Append the files together using tsMuxeR. Load your first file, append the secondone, append the third one... then mux to Blu-ray. This will work as long as each file was encoded the same, since it is one sporting event you are working with I'm assuming you will be safe.

By doing this you will have one big m2ts file instead of three small ones within the BDMV/STREAM folder... and continuous playback.

I found that (in my case) this didn't quite work, when playing through the video playback is fine from the part of the video covered by the first file to the video of the 2nd file and I assume it would be fine for subsequent files that were appended, however when skipping through chapters the video for the appended files does not play only the audio. I found that using mkvMerge to combine the files first then muxing the combined file to AVCHD in tsMuxer allows proper chapter skipping.

i remembered that mkv2vob "repairs" AC3 tracks so i put my mkv through that and remuxed the output to AVCHD using tsMuxer, that seems to have done the job. ;)

I'm about to tackle my videos that have subtitles and i've noticed some of them have ASS subtitle which are not recognised by tsMuxer for muxing to AVCHD, is there any way to extract these subs from the MKV and convert them so they can be read by tsMuxer or do I have to find an SRT and work out the delay?

seems that mkv2vob actually converted the AC3 track down from 5.1 to stereo :(
anyone know how i can fix my AC3 track so tsMuxer can read it without losing the 5.1?

Ryu77 MeGui HD Encoder Profile Questions?

Ryu77, I have been using your MeGui HD encoder profile to encode videos for my PS3 and it is simply excellent! The only problem I have is that the fast forward does not work. I realize this is probably a PS3 limitation and I am pushing it. What should I change in the profile to make this work on the PS3? You don't happen to have a tweaked PS3 encoding profile kicking around do you? ;)

Thanks,

qVAMPIREp

I'm using tsMuxer to create an m2ts after converting the DTS audio to AC3 using EAC3. The movies play but they will not fast forward or rewind. It just seems to stall the PS3. I've waited for 5 mins with no movement in the movie. When I hit play again it restarts where it left off. Other movies that I've remuxed from mkv files all play and rewind just fine. It's only the ones that I've encoded with your settings that seem to have a problem. This includes bluray backups that I made.

Hello,

I'am folowing this thread for a some time now and I found some realy interesting comments here.

Now I'am also in the "playing mkv files on PS3 bussiness". I'am using a NAS to store my files on, and use MediaTomb mediacenter to stream it to the PS3. Works fine, till now, I converted 2 mkv files (one 720p and one 1080p), but I only hear sound and the screen is black, by both of them. In the past I also converted mkv with tsmuxer and it worked fine.

I don't now what I'am doing wrong, hope that somewone can help me.

Thnxs,

ChillyB

Hi ChillyB,

You need to recode the video to 4.1. It was encoded with a profile that the PS3 can't play. I highly recommend that you use MeGui and Ryu77's excellent encoding profile. All of the details of how to do this are in this thread.
