now this video has 2 audio tracks : the russian language track uses ac3
and the english language track uses DTS. It also has subtitles
all I want is the enlgish track with no subtitles
can anyone guess why i am getting no sound? i tried removing the russian track and subtitles from the list
open up mkv2vob and click "Static? No Sound? Click here" in the top right corner and it'll explain how to change some quick audio settings on the PS3 to avoid the static.
if all you want is English and no subs, just demux the streams with mkvextract, remux with mkvmerge with only the English track, then run it through mkv2vob. should work fine.
hey thanks! the mkv2vob thing worked. by the way is it at all possible to move plus 4 gig files from the 3?

Yes. The file has to be m2ts, and it needs to be streamed/copied via your home network. I have had single files in the neighborhood of 30GB. They cannot be transferred back though.

yeah the transferring back is the bummer, cant be done, but PS3 media server does a great job of transcoding or copying them over for you!

Do not transcode when dealing with m2ts. Only if you need to stream and the m2ts has the VC-1 codec.

ah ok. thanks guys. Now I have a problem with another video
I used mkv2vob (i did what it told me when you click the help button since the audio is dts)(tsmuxer didnt even recognize the subtitle track)
and split the file but the second part says its unsupported data on the ps3 and the first part doesnt have subtitles
i will probably have to use mkvextract but could you run me through the necessary steps? * it extracted the subs but then subtitle workshop told me its a bad file
it lists 15 other attachments aside from the video, audio and subtitle tracks im not sure what they are i just need to see it hear it and read its subs i dont need chapters selection or whatever they are
the video is MPEG-4 AVC
the audio is DTS
and the subtitle track is ass.
this time i do need the subtitles on it thanks again people

I tryed, but I couldn't get the subtitles activated...
Is there a way? (It would save me a lot of DVDs!!!)
Tks in advance!
You can actually use a flash drive to play a BD structured movie, I use this method ofter to verify subs and what-not. You need a program called AVCHD-ME.
http://www.mediafire.com/?ywt2wysnzb1
First of all, your video stream must be BD compliant, 1920x1080 or 1280x720, or this will not work.
1. Mux video, audio, subs using tsMuxeR to Blu-ray, use the split feature if your output will be larger than 4GB (neccesary for FAT32).
2. Make a folder called AVCHD. Place the BDMV and Certificate folders in the AVCHD folder.
3. Copy the AVCHD-ME program into the AVCHD folder with the other two BD folders, run the application, it should only take 1 second and it will five you a confirmation "Rename Successful".
4. Delete the AVCHD-ME application.
5. Transfer the AVCHD folder to the root of your FAT32 external drive.
6. Stick it in the PS3, navigate to the Video section in the XMB, press X on the USB icon, press X again on the AVCHD folder.
7. Now the movie will play as if it were a disc, you also must turn the subs on, they will not start automatically.
Using this method you can also have DTS audio and play an extremely large movie (full BD rip, remuxed), using the split feature in tsMuxeR (split to 4GB chucks). I do this with my partitioned 320GB external drive, I have a 50GB section that was formatted to FAT32, this works just like a USB stick.
Hope this helps.
hey odin if i do that will i be able to copy the video to the ps3 and keep the subs?

This app has been updated since that previous post of mine, find it here. The main thing now is you do not need to run it from the actual Blu-ray (AVCHD) folder, it can be run from any directory. It now also checks for PS3 4GB compatibilty, and if the CLPI files are valid... very important for smooth playback.
You should also check this app out too, it's meant for managing several AVCHD compatible folders on one HDD.
Back to your question, no you cannot actually copy the video to the PS3 and retain subs, it needs to play from an external USB device, as a AVCHD structure.
Also, see line 7 of the post you quoted of mine, where you need to turn subs on. There is a way to have them auto-enabled now, you'll need BDEdit, and you can follow these instructions.
Here are some visuals to help as well.
Open BDEdit, and browse for your BD/AVCHD structure. Highlight Line #1 as shown, and press the + button.
Keep the new Line #2 highlighted.
Now set the parameters as shown below, then save.
Once this is done, the main subtitle stream will automatically appear. This works well for forced subs, or foreign movies. You should also do this process before you use the AVCHDMe, or AVCHD Manager apps, otherwise BDEdit will not recognize the AVCHD structure.

ah alrighty then. thanks so much for your help i am learning a lot here. this particular video is just driving me nuts tho...
first tsmuxer wouldnt recognize the subs, then through mkvextract i found out the dts file was actually the .ass file and the .ass file was actually the dts file and i just found out all those other attachments mkvextract showed are different fonts and i dont even know what to do with those...

The only types of subs tsMuxeR accept are SRT and SUP. ASS needs to be converted to SRT for tsMuxeR. Not sure what you mean about the DTS and ASS files being switched.

well when i extracted the streams the dts file was only like a hundred kb and the .ass file was over a gig. i realized i couldnt open the .ass file with subtitle workshop because it was in fact the dts file

How can i stream subtitles to my ps3? I always convert my HD movies to m2ts, then stream them to my ps3 via tversity. I've done some searching around, and i've been told that the m2ts container won't allow subs. Is this true? Odin, i think i've seen you say that this is one of the advantages with going the AVCHD-Me/Manager route(subs), but i don't have an external hdd yet. And since the movies are often 12-15GB's, dvd's aren't really an option either. Does anybody know of another solution for streaming subs to the ps3?
Also, i have another question involving subs. My current setup is a home theater, which consists of a front projector shot onto a fixed 2.35:1 screen. Some movies have the subs in the picture, and some have the subs below the picture. If the subs are below the picture, is there a way to move them up into the picture?

Streaming subtitles is not possible. Unless you re-encode they video, and hard-sub the subs in, this is the only way to stream subs. Hard-sub means to make the subtitles part of the video, meaning they will always be there. The difficulty with this is the subs might not turn out the way they should appear. Personnaly, I have no experience with this. Your best bet is to get yourself a external HDD, even if it is a 16GB USB stick, this will do the job, then use AVCHD instead of m2ts.
16GB USB stick for $30

Thanks for the reply, Odin. I also have a question about an encode that i have. I saw where just a few pages ago, someone also had this problem, but i didn't see a definitive answer to it. I converted this encode to m2ts, then streamed it to my ps3 via tversity. This is the same way i always do it, with no problems. But, with this one, i have a problem. I get audio, but no video. Could this be a result of the original encode not being dxva compliant(whatever that is)? Is there any way to fix it? I've been everywhere trying to get a clear answer on this, but nobody seems to know anything. I either don't get any reply at all, or someone might recommend that i use a different media server. I might be wrong, but i don't think it has anything to do with tversity, since i've streamed many other movies the same exact way...and with no problems at all. Could someone help, or at least point me in a better direction where i might be able to find someone who could help me. Thanks.

Definitive answer; Generally movies that have audio, but no video on the PS3 have too many reference frames. 4 is the max for 1080p, and I believe 10 for 720p. It is the way the video was encoded, not the media server, and the only way to fix is to re-encode again.
Use uncropMKV and you'll surely get a complaint mkv to convert to m2ts.
BTW, dxva compliancy is just a spec used to encode... similar to how I and other like to use specs closer to Blu-ray compliancy when doing their own encodes. If you see a dxva compliant file, you can guarantee it is of great quality and will most likely work with the PS3 no problem.

Hei.I want to play my mkv films with ps3,but I want with SUB.I tried TSmuxer,and output to M2TS,but the results no sub(embeded sub)when I playing it with pc (kmp).So how I can use TsMuxeR to find sub with PS3???I have external HDD with ntfs file system.
I do not want use MKV2VOB because is very slow,and is take over 24 hour for 4 gb mkv file.

I have an MKV file that plays perfectly on my computer, but because it is HD, I need to convert it to a .ts file to play through my PS3 via TVersity.
When I look at the properties of the original MKV file, the video resolution is 952x720, however, the aspect ratio is listed as 16:9. However, after using tsMuxer, the resulting file is still 952x720, but the aspect ratio is changed to 1.32x1, squishing the image vertically. Now, I realize I can stretch it out on my television, but that seems to be an inelegant solution.
Is there a way to mux the file or use a different program that will allow me to keep the original aspect ratio from the MKV?
Thanks for any suggestions!

hey buddy, i had numerous weeks and even a month or 2 trying to figure this out, then i used ps3 media server to transcode-copy the mkv file over to my PS3 and the result was perfect. The aspect ratio stayed the same and i could then watch the movies no probs.

the problem is 952x720 isn't HD. You can try mkv2vob (which uses tsmuxer), but it usually has the same aspect ratio issue with files that aren't 1280 or 1920 wide.
You can try PS3 Media Server as someone suggested, but honestly I'd try to download a proper ratio version instead.

Okay, here is my issue:
I have a MKV file of ALIEN at 720p - looks great, but when I used the SPLIT AND CUT function with TSMUXER to test a clip on the PS3, I had video but no audio.
(1) I know this means I will probably have to remux the MKV audio, but how would I do this so I can retain the surround sound with the video AND retain the 720p video image?
(2) if I used the MKV2VOB program, the MKV file would be converted to a VOB file (for I assume IMGBURN to burn onto a dvd); would this mean the video would be down-converted to 480p or would the original 720p resolution be retained in the conversion?
I am in the process of working on a fan edit of ALIEN using the 720p file as a source, but can't start yet until I can convert it into a file I know plays on my PS3 (being that I am completely virgin on all of this stuff). ANY help would be appreciated!
Here's the link to what the edit will entail (eventually):
ALIEN-REVISITED-movie-edit

what format did you remux to? And did the file have DTS audio? if so that's the problem. The PS3 can't play DTS in a file - unless it's patched with mkv2vob or streamed with PS3 Media Server (check the box that says "Keep DTS audio in stream") in the Transcoder Settings tab.

with mkv2vob, leave Output File Extension on automatic and it will create a file with an .mpg extension (the file will actually be in an MPEG-TS container at that point). You can then stream this .mpg with PS3 Media Server.
If the file doesn't have to be transcoded (it will say "No" under the Transcoding column in mkv2vob), then the video was untouched. Not sure if the PS3 can play .mpg files burned to DVD.
If you tried to play it on a regular DVD player, it wouldn't work.
So.. to solve your problem, you should split and cut your file, remux the file to TS and try to stream it with PS3 Media Server.

Hello.
Why no one help me??I need help
I hava a bluray output generated with tsmuxer. I used AVCHDME to rename the structure.
I put BDMV and CERTIFICATE in the AVCHD folder and put it in to the my external hd (usb) and when I plug the hard disk on the PS3, it not detected as AVCHD :(
when I click on the device, the PS3 show me the content in the VIDEOS folder.
What I did wrong ?
ps.. the movie and audio are compatible with the ps3.. is not that the problem

connect the USB HDD to your computer, and open it up to view the files and folders.
The first thing you should see is the AVCHD folder. that folder shouldn't be in any other folder - it's in the root of the drive, not nested in any other folder.
Just like when you click your C: drive and you see the Windows folder - you should click on your USB HDD and see an AVCHD folder right there, not in any other folder.
