I'll keep alookout on the original (Dutch) GOTsent topic for you Audioboxer, as I'm also active on that forum

Also, on a side note; if you are a mac user and you're using Mac OS X's native filesystem (HFS) on an external drive, it should also work on your PS3 AND allow files larger than 4GB - note: as far as I know, this is still not something to solve the mp4 4GB issue

Are you sure?

I thought only the X360 supported the HFS filesystem

I used GOTsent to encode the mkv movie file to an MP4 as it states but instead it split the movie into 2 mkv files, 2.4gb each :unsure:

What happened to the MP4?

Pretty positive that will be a codec issue, you're missing something required to carry out the whole process and are therefore being left with incomplete files. GOTSent is the front end only, it's not an all-in-1-package.

To play it safe, as I said I'd install CCCP - http://www.cccp-project.net/ - It requires what is needed, with things such as Haali Media Splitter (HD codec).

For all those people on their high horses of "CODEC PACKS DAMAGE YOUR PC!!!" come down to reality. CCCP if you read up on it, was made to be lightweight, and require all that's needed to play/watch HD content on your PC. It doesn't install multiple codecs and doesn't interfere with anything.

If you don't want to use it still, I'll dig deeper into specific codecs that are required.

AC3Filter - http://ac3filter.net/ - Is also needed as well if you aren't using the nero AAC codec.

Out of interest as well, http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/, download MediaInfo, and drag and drop your mkv onto it to see what video/audio codec it is using - Just to see if it's anything unusal, not found in a standard MKV rip.

Sentry23, the guy who is making GOTsent, is currently checking out possibilities to transcode files to mpeg2 to get subs working - picture quality suffers from this and it'll surely take more time, but if you're really keen on subs - as a lot of people are over at his regular forum - it's maybe a compromise worth making.

edit; he's also figuring out if it's possible to alter the frame rate, because apparently some people using Xbox360's complain about judder/jitter in the images when viewing stuff in 50Hz

(Y) for subtitles, but definitely only if you need em.

MPEG2 will take up muuuuch more space as well as the obvious drop in quality from transcoding.

TBH - I can only care subtitlewise for my Anime to work, however, support is never going to be something which resembles the stuff that can be done on a PC, with the karaoke's, panning/tilting text etc. If it's going to come, it'll be the same as on DVDs etc. where you basically have "raw" text at the bottom. Long story short; I won't be using any new transcode functions to get subtitles working, but oh well :p if it there it's going to please at least some people

Thanks! I didn't have CCCP installed and now that I installed it, it works perfectly.

GOTsent Beta-9 Pre-release

Now includes Playable on PS3/360 detection, subs are disabled. Some form of mpeg2 conversion is in there, yet it doesn't work for 360 yet

Download here, but use with care - it's a pre-release of a beta...

Also; Sentry23 announced he's now collaborating with Ditlew - apparently someone with a name in the PSP scene (I do not own one, so I wouldn't know) - they're working on a better h264 detection/implementation, which apparently is almost finished and should make beta10 or beta9, however the former is more likely.

edit; we should really get this topic stickied

I'll update my guide for Beta 9 once it's actually out and all the new features are in/confirmed working.

transcoding is a ballache if you ask me i dont see why people are so interested in playing everything on there ps3, something like the Popcorn Hour makes more sense to me if you dont want to use a pc, it has native mkv support and can read subtitles from mkv as well.

I dont have the room for a gazillion boxes that just do one thing each - I want ONE device to handle them all :)

My friend was trying out his friends Popcorn Hour, he says the software seemed a bit buggy..

Perhaps in the future I will invest in one if custom firmware hasnt struck the PS3 by that tiem :D

Thanks for this guide! Never heard of any of these programs and was going to just wait for MKV support! Quick note btw GOTSent won't convert an AC3 Audio track in Vista x64 if you don't tick Safe Sync :) For some reason if you don't it just says conversion done with no output file.

However I must admit I struggled getting MKV2VOB to work, for some reason it outputted the Audio fine to the VOB file but there was no video :o But GOTSent works anyway so its all good in the end ;)

I just became even more satisfied with my PS3.

I'm playing my MKV files with just streaming! :D

All I did was install a codec pack, change a few settings and install tversity and stream over my network.

I'm so damn happy with this now.

Oh the guide is here btw:

Scroll down to method B.

Sounds like a codec issue to me, what codec pack/codecs do you have installed?

I didn't cover this in my guide, but im happy you have it working :)

Quickest method to view, but you do lose video/audio quality with the transcoding. Plus you need a very decent PC to handle on the fly transcoding (Y)

Just a quick word on Tversity with the K-Lite codec pack. Even though subtitles are check in ffdshow to load sas/ass/srt also embedded. Once you start the file on the ps3 go back to your computer right click on the tray icon and click on the subtitles.

Kill off the transcoding job. Go back to the PS3 and restart the same file. Subtitles should properly appear now on the transcoding computer.

GOTSent 0.23 Beta 9

Download here

  • Lots of fixes (mainly audio and detection)
  • Playable on PS3/360 detectie (Thanks to Ditlew)
  • mpeg2 fallback encoding (PS3/360) note; might take long
  • Subs are off temporarily due to detection issues
  • command line encoding: Gotsent-version-.exe [filename\foldername] (converts all files in directory, to temp dir)
  • Aspect ratio will be corrected for mp4 files where pixel resolution doesn't match display resolution

Apparently there's more but Sentry23 didn't finish his changelog cause he needed some whiskey (his words)

just so you guys know , the latest build of mkv2vob has added fast forward and rewind support :)

V1.5.2 28/Jan/2008

Fixed bug with long filenames with DTS give "Error creating AC3 from WAV!"

DTS now recompresses to higher 640bit quality instead of 384bit.

V1.5.1 27/Jan/2008

Fixed muxing bug, 1.5 was completely non-functional sorry.

V1.5 27/Jan/2008

Added Fast forward/rewind support

this is now by far the better option :)

Woah :|

How did he manage it?

I'll update the whole guide soon :yes:

:D

no idea but i just checked it and its works :) glad he managed it :)

Yup :)

I'm in the process of reconverting all my movies now!

(It seems ff/rw has been made possible by using tsMuxer, which is a new application added to MKV2VOB)

Everyone should get 1.52 immediately. I have also noticed a 720p movie I had that I couldn't get working no matter what (MKV2VOB and GOTSent both failed) now works (Y)

    • I'm fine with a little reasonable promotion of Edge, but the degree which they do it right now I consider extremely unreasonable. 
    • Microsoft AI boss no longer believes that AI will replace human workers by David Uzondu Mustafa Suleyman, the head of Microsoft AI, recently took back his statements concerning white-collar jobs that he gave to the Financial Times in an interview made back in February, where he claimed that AI would replace office workers within 12 to 18 months. On Monday's episode of The Verge's Decoder, Suleyman recast the technology as more like a helpmate than a tool designed to take over your job. He explained that smaller office duties will "increasingly become digitized, automated" as people generate more digital materials. During the discussion, Suleyman emphasized a "very important distinction" between "tasks" and "jobs" to clarify his previous claims. He argued that his earlier comments only referred to individual actions that people perform at their desks. Suleyman used to work for DeepMind, the research lab he co-founded in 2010 alongside Demis Hassabis and Shane Legg, before he left in 2022 to establish Inflection AI and build an empathetic digital assistant. Microsoft hired him in March 2024 to lead its newly formed "Microsoft AI" division, placing him in charge of consumer products like Copilot, Bing, and Edge. His February comments also detailed plans for Microsoft to achieve self-sufficiency with a $140 billion infrastructure budget to train frontier models, predicting that creating a customized AI will soon feel like creating a podcast or a new blog: The 41-year-old is not the only AI executive who's softened his "AI will replace you" stance. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, last month used X to push back against employment panic by arguing that his startup builds tools to assist humans rather than build replacements. He had previously garnered backlash by suggesting that many modern office roles that AI might replace did not qualify as "real work" in the first place, at least when you compare desk jobs to physical, historical labor like farming.

    • Meta will now use data from outside businesses to personalize AI responses by David Uzondu In an update that's rolling out globally (except in a handful of countries), Meta will use your data from outside businesses to personalize your AI responses and your primary feeds. Meta already utilizes your shopping activity to target ads, but the company now plans to expand this tracking to personalize other "parts of your experience" like feed algorithms and AI assistant chats. The company is replacing the two settings ("Your activity off Meta technologies" and "Activity from other businesses") that currently let you disconnect off-platform activity with a single, renamed setting called Activity from other businesses. If you don't want Meta to manipulate your feed and AI responses using your outside history, you can just turn the Activity from other businesses setting off in your account settings. This toggle resides within your Accounts Center, applying your choice to every connected profile. Turning this off will not stop companies from sending your data to Meta. The company will still collect your web interactions, but it only uses them to train products, while still accessing external accounts you connect. When The Verge spoke to Meta spokesperson Emil Vazquez, the representative said that this update will exclude several locations at launch, including the European region, the UK, Brazil, Thailand, South Africa, Turkey, South Korea, Ecuador, Nigeria, and Kenya. The new update comes at a time when the social media giant is recovering from a major PR disaster involving generative AI. Last week, there was a huge security issue on Instagram where attackers figured out a way to trick Meta AI into handing over account ownership (even if the victim had 2FA enabled). Some of the affected accounts include the dormant Obama White House profile, cosmetics brand Sephora, the Chief Master Sergeant of the Space Force, and security researcher Jane Manchun Wong. Internally, the company also had to scale back plans on its Model Capability Initiative (MCI), an employee-monitoring program designed to train corporate AI models by recording worker keystrokes and screen activity, after employees raised privacy concerns and complained about severe battery life drain.
    • JetBrains is working to cut false positives in RustRover 2026.2 by David Uzondu Recently, JetBrains released the fifth EAP build of its dedicated IDE, RustRover 2026.2, bringing improvements like a Run gutter icon for criterion_main! macro benchmarking and a feature that alerts you when there are unused traits in your current scope. Now, the company is out with a blog post addressing one of the "most common" complaints from users: false positives. In RustRover, a false positive occurs when the editor incorrectly highlights something as an error even though the project compiles and runs successfully. This mismatch flags a gap between the IDE's internal intelligence and the actual compiler. When the editor flashes red warnings over perfectly valid code, developers lose trust in the tool, which stalls momentum. Traditionally, RustRover runs cargo check to detect compiler errors and warnings, but it also relies on its own code analysis engine to power real-time features. To provide quick feedback, this engine parses your source code into a syntax tree while inferring types and resolving names as you type. Because this engine must work on broken, half-written code and react instantly, its logic sometimes diverges from the compiler's, producing false positives that do not exist in the compiler's eyes. JetBrains said that it has a "dedicated task force" focused specifically on identifying and fixing false positives by analyzing user reports and examining large-scale open-source projects. To speed up this process, the team built an internal system modeled after Crater, the famous Rust project that compiles and runs tests for every single crate published on crates.io. This automated pipeline compares the diagnostics from RustRover's analysis with actual compiler output to catch discrepancies before they reach users, ensuring smoother workflows. RustRover, for those who're unaware, is a dedicated IDE designed specifically for Rust developers. It's been around for a couple of years now, providing features like built-in debugging via LLDB, seamless cargo integration, advanced macro expansion, and HTML support. JetBrains distributes the app under two licensing models: a paid commercial subscription and a free option for non-commercial use.
