Hey, odin, the smaller bitrate worked perfectly. I figured it was that. Thanks. But what's with that? I've converted from many audio formats to 640 kbps AC3 before and they've always worked out fine.

Maybe you reached the threshold, maybe the source audio track was a crappy encode, from a crappy encode. Think of it as watching a movie that has a res of 528x384 on a 52 inch 1920x1080 LCD, you can imagine how shite it will look... possibly the same goes for audio.
Honestly though I'm not sure... good to hear you resolved it though.

ok I used tsMuxer and selected output as M2TS and it turned the 4.35GB into 4.71GB so needless to say I can't burn that onto a DVD. Any help plz I'm dying to see what this movie will look like.

Use tsMuxeR, split at 4GB. This will give you two files, you can either place these files right on the PS3's HDD or on a USB stick... I believe the PS3 has a continuous play feature for video... you can play your movie like this.

Alright, I got a question for the pros :)
Is there any way to remove certain parts from an MKV file ... ?
You see, I want to censor out a movie which I have. I want to remove a certain 30 second portion from it ..
So how do I extract two parts from an MKV (the parts before and after the scene to be removed), and then rejoin these two parts together ?
Thanx in advance for all the help guys :)

tsMuxeR has a pretty accurate splitter, just make sure you have the latest version, there have been several updates over the last few weeks.
Load your MKV, set the start time to 0, set the end to the start of where you need the cut to be... be sure to rename to something like "Part 1"... mux to m2ts. Load the original MKV again, another cut will be made, this time set the start time to the end of the scene that you need cut and the end time to the absolute end of the movie, be sure to rename this file to "Part 2"... mux to m2ts again.
This will leave you with two new new m2ts files, use tsMuxeR. Load "Part 1", press the Append button and load "Part2"... mux to m2ts. This will leave you with your desired movie.
When making the original cuts you can specify the cut points in milliseconds, seconds, or minutes. Determining the cut points will obviously take some trial and error.
Good luck.

Use tsMuxeR to "Demux", use MKVmerge to remux to MKV.

Hey, Ryu or odin (or anyone else), I've been ripping my DVDs to my hard drive (I realized it's a hell of a lot more convenient to watch it through that), and one thing that's popped up is subtitle support.
I know the PS3 can only play DivX subs, so I figured I'd mux the .vob to AVCHD.
Of course, the videos are 720x480 (I only get widescreen now), but when I play them, they get stretched vertically. So it's like watching a 16x9 movie that's stretched to fill a 4x3 screen (there are borders on the side of the TV).
It's not a big problem, but I would like to have subtitles and a proper widescreen output (upscaled, of course). Know of any way past that? If not, I'll just stick to throwing the .vob onto the hard drive.
Thanks.

So it's like watching a 16x9 movie that's stretched to fill a 4x3 screen (there are borders on the side of the TV). The latest tsMuxeR has the ability to modify, or correctly set the Aspect Ratio (AR), you may want to play with that. Is it possible the source isn't anamorphic WS, this could also create the distorted image.
It's not a big problem, but I would like to have subtitles and a proper widescreen output (upscaled, of course). Know of any way past that? If not, I'll just stick to throwing the .vob onto the hard drive. For subs, you may need to either download from a subtitle download site, or OCR them from the DVD yourself, and output to SRT... I'd do that. The only way you're gonna get a DVD upscaled is if you play the actual DVD, in AVCHD it will be 480i/p.
Thanks.
See my comments above, hope this helps.

Need more detail... What is the audio codec? What format are you trying to play from tsMuxeR... Blu-ray/AVCHD, m2ts? ... I'm assuming on your PS3.
More details please!

Hey, odin, I've got some more issues with those DVD-rips now.
After throwing them onto my hard drive, I played them, and they played fine... except that I couldn't rewind or access the Square button scene selection feature. What's up with that? I remember that that had been an issue, but I could've sworn it'd been fixed.
I'm gonna try remuxing to .m2ts to see if that fixes the problem.
EDIT:
I should clarify. I can rewind, but it won't play from there. I have to manually exit the video and reload it in order to get it to play. But yeah, I'll try remuxing it to .m2ts.

Honestly, I usually don't handle DVDs in this manner... or at all. Shortly after you asked your previous question I tried a DVD recode myself... it worked great but hte chapter skip was horrible... it skipped but it took about 10s to load to the next scene.
Is your PS3 hook up via HDMI? I think it might have something to do with that. I have both (HDMI/component) hooked up, I'll try the component connection to see if the seeking is any better. m2ts will probably be the same.

...yeah, that's that. I'll probably just recode 'em to .avi, then. (Just wanted to skip that thing if possible.) You know of anything besides MeGUI that allows as much codec tweaking? All of the others I've seen/used (which, admittedly, are pretty few) have been one-click and junk.
I'm thinking... 5-6GB .vob to 1-2GB Xvid .avi should do fine, no?
EDIT:
Yeah, I'm using HDMI. That's about the only thing I'll agree to use nowadays. Makes everything very simple - best output of both video and audio in one cable.

For my project using MeGUI, I specified a 2500kb/s bitrate to h264 (for AVCHD)... which showed zero difference from the 7000kb/s mpeg2 source. The final file size, everything muxed was 2.5GB... AVI might be 2.2GB, the movie was 2hrs long. You could probably get away with the same or slightly less for XviD.
I used Ryu77's Ultra profile (I know, overkill), total time from rip to PS3 was about two hours on my quad core. Any other profile should be half the time.
EDIT: I suggest using h264 in AVI... better compression efficiency.

Yeah, I would go with h264, too, except it's a bitch getting my old P4 to encode h264, and it would take especially long with a 1.5-2-hour movie. (Even a standard-def half-hour anime recode took... well, I wanna say an hour or so. Maybe more.) Xvid and those other older codecs just seem to take less time.
Once I rake up enough dough to build a quad-core, I'll definitely go with h264, but for now, I'll have to stick to Xvid. Maybe DivX.
But anyway, I'll reach for the 2,000-2,500 kbps range for Xvid. By the way, is Ryu's profile part of the MeGUI update package or do I have to manually look for it? If it's the former, then what's the name of his profile? I've never found a profile that said "Ryu77 PS3 Profile" or anything.

I don't think they're part of the whole package/update. Here's a link to his profiles.

OK, I am having another difficulty how ..
Anyone here tried to burn an AVCHD Disc through the newer ImgBurn 2.4.4.0 ??
The resulting AVCHD gets detected as a 'Data Disc' (with the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders in it) in the PS3 !!!
Anyone know how to solve this problem ?
I had a look through ImgBurn's settings, and found the following newer options:
I enabled that last option (BD Video - Allow Unicode Volume Label) myself, which was disabled by default. I have tried burning an AVCHD Disc with this option both enabled and disabled .. And still the AVCHD Disc is detected as a 'Data Disc' in the PS3 .. !!
Can anyone help me out here ?
btw, I used the newer tsMuxeR 1.9.9 to generate the BD Folders .. could the problem be here ?

If you are using tsMuxeR 1.9.9, you need to mux to AVCHD (not Blu-ray). This will give you a BDMV folder without the CERTIFICATE folder. All you need to do is burn just the BDMV folder, but you still need to remux again to AVCHD.

whats the AVC profile of the streams buddy? chuck it into 'mediainfo' program to let us know?
you could use ps3 media server to stream/transcode the files from your PC/external drive to the PS3 and it would probably automatically fix it for you without too much hassle....
