shouldn't be very high. latest processors and GFX card can handle it. my rig is not that high end still can play 1080p mkv just fine. but for streaming haven't tried yet. i have however streamed 720 mkv with ps3 + tversity. stuck/jerks a few times for buffering the first 5-10 minutes. then ok already. the most important thing is that it doesn't crash. and sometime in the middle got jerks again. maybe for buffering :sweat:
wi-fi dongle? never tried that :shock: i just use wi-fi router for all connections in my house
I have figure out out how to play mkv files smooth on the PS3 via Tversity. MKV files cannot be play directly on the PS3 so you need Tversity to stream it to your PS3.
Some mkv files with lower video bitrate can be stream to PS3 smoothly but some are just laggy no matter what you do. The main cause of this is Tversity itself.
1. For laggy mkv files, just use tsMuxeR to convert the mkv files to m2ts which can then be played on the PS3 direct without any lag at all! I notice one disadvantages of mkv streaming is that i cannot get it to work in Dolby Digital via Tversity. But once you convert it to m2ts you can play it directly on your PS3 without lag and in dolbly Digital You can even burn the m2ts on dvd and play it on the PS3 or simply store it in the external usb drive. But you cannot stream it to your PS3 via Tversity because Tversity cannot recognise it unless someone knows a way around it. However I would prefer playing it directly on the PS3.
The conversion process using tsMuxeR is a a very simply one. The video or audio content is not actually converted at all. All tsMuxeR does is that it extracts (demuxes) the video and audio from the Matroska .MKV file and wraps them (muxes) to a .m2ts transport stream format. The video or audio remain untouched, so the quality is not impacted and the process is very fast.
Here is a guide on how to do it.
Guide to convert mkv to m2ts2. If you prefer to stream your mkv files to your PS3 via Tversity, then there is another way to get your laggy mkv files to stream smoothly without any loss of quality and with Dolby Digital Surround sound.
Just follow this guide to
convert your mkv to vob. The process is again very simple and fast.
Enjoy!
