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?

[zerolimit]

will it remux also or convert the files

Have you got boost AAC/DTS audio checked?

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.

[Sn00pY]

Yes I have both AAC and DTS Boost options selected - still very low :(

This program needs a new name then :p

Its no longer just vobs

MKV2PS3 ?

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.

Has anyone tried transcoding to Xvid?

Whats the quality like?

[popisdead uk]

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.

[lyunya]

so i'm using a wireless connection off my neighbor (friend). and i was wondering cause when I try to play an hd movie using tversity, it lags really heavily. is it possible to connect the ps3 to my computer and just have it stream using a wired connection?

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. :(

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?

[williamhook]

Yeah...like I said, it didn't even work with Windows Firewall disabled. :\

If you stop the WMP11 sharing does TVersity work?

Awesome piece of software. How can I go about streaming my 720p MKV files? Will I need to remux?

[matthewmarley]

mkv2vob works great, just chose mpeg and they will be able to stream using tversity.
