Hmm dunno... mpeg isn't really an HD format is it ? :o

It's just a container, audio/video is exactly the same as it was in the mkv file.

You do actually use mkv2vob right?

In the configuration you can output file extension to mpg/mt2s/vob/mp4/avi.

Use VOB or MPG - MKV2VOB does say MPG offers the best playback compatibility though.

Yes I thought that as soon as I said it - lol... I'm an idiot :)

Tell me this....... I've had some issues with sound being too low when I re-container them :( any ideas?

Have you got boost AAC/DTS audio checked?

will it remux also or convert the files

MKV2VOB if left on automatic under transcoder, will only transcode if NEEDED - File won't play on PS3/most 1080p content/if you use subs.

It will always remux if it can.

My muxing is constantly failing, this is beginning to drive me crazy.

I'm using the settings listed in the opening post, and I've installed CCCP.

I have the same problem. The fact that mk2vob doesn't have descriptive errors when the file fails doesn't help things either. I reverted back to manually converting mkv files to mp4 using 4 different apps because so far it's the only thing that works for me. What other apps fail at (like Gotsent as well), I manage to convert just fine albeit the long way about it

Aha, I am not alone. I'm still trying to figure it out, but the lack of descriptive errors (as you mentioned) is indeed a bitch.

I has a question.

Is it possible to run both Windows Media Player 11's sharing thing, AND TVersity, on the same (Vista) PC? I tried it a while back and it didn't seem to work at all, the PS3 only seemed to pick up the WMP11 library.

See, it would be easier, because at the moment I have to use mkv2vob on my own PC, then copy the files to my laptop to make it stream through TVersity, which is annoying.

You can indeed, I have both running - I have no reason too really, but the PS3 is connected to both TVersity and WMP11, as is the 360.

Would really depend on what sort of signal you are getting from the shared wireless connection, and what band is being used. If its a normal G band router and the signal is around 50% or lower then I would think you would still receive lag. If, however the band is G+, Mimo, or even N (if the card in the PC can accept these signals) with a decent 75%+ signal, and then you wire to the PS3, you may have some joy.

Strange...it just flat out refuses to see TVersity on this PC. I even tried disabling my firewall....nothing. :(
Slightly off topic, but is there any decent, free avi to mp4 converters available? I have a few avi's that wont play on the PS3.

Thanks, I'll give it a go.

As for TVersity, have you made sure that the mediaserver.exe is allowed, and not just the TVersity entry?

      Those persons has complete control over the internet right now. They do see everything what we do regardless.

      Everyone and every country who doesn't support Israel's aggression, terrorism and hypocrisy is their immediate enemy. You can definitely see how many innocent people they are killing almost everyday. In fact they're the actual Neo-Nazi who holds Hitler's ideology.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By RejZoR · Posted

      It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • Paint.NET can finally be downloaded from the "right" place

      By dismuter · Posted

      You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.
