I dont know why but if i use klite codec with tversity n open any mkv video, it will crash

Not sure about that. If I were u i will uninstall all the other codec because Tversity comes with a very complete codec for most of the movies file. I did install Stormcodec after i install Tversity but so far no problem.

I didnt install the Tversity codec. I only use KM player. It's great for me, and I love it. No problem at all.

@lightning69,

So, most of the time, you convert all the bluray movies that you download, using txmuxer, and convert it to ts format. Am I right?
I think it's better to follow you.

I'm not yet tried converting hd movies file (4G >). For now only 1G files. I'm sure if I used mkv2vob, the process will be longer.
So, better to use txmuxer.

However, I noticed that after I convert to ts. the playback in pc is not nice. the quality suck. But, play the same file in ps3, the quality is good.
I used mkv2vob, because I notice these different in quality.

I know both software is the same, only use mkv2vob when movie comes with DTS sound.

Anyway, I like watching the movie in PS3 using the Tversity. The quality is excellent. Very different watching in PC.
*
I download all my HD movies in mkv format encoded in h.264

Just use tsMuxer or MKV2VOB to repackage the mkv to either mp4, ts, or m2ts format which can all be play on the PS3. Remember that you are not converting the video itself because that takes a long time. What the tsMuxer program do is take the video and audio stream in the mkv file and change it to ts or m2ts file without re-encoding the video so it take a few minutes only.

You say that your PC playback ts file and the quality sucks? It cannot be because tsmuxer and and mkv2vob did not re-encode the video stream so the video quality remain the same. It could be the player you use are not properly set up.

Just finish converting Wanted. The sound is in DTS format, so I need to use mkv2vob to convert it. For a 4.6GB file, it takes from morning to evening to convert it.  sweat.gif

At first, I tried to convert it using tsmuxer. But, when I played it on PS3, the picture is fine but no sound coming out. Then only, I realized, I need to use mkv2vob for sound with DTS.

I know, lightning69 already mention this.

Still, got 2 major problem.
First is the subtitles. Converting using tsmuxer to .ts format is fast, but subtitle will not be displayed. Still looking for a way to do this.

Second problem - I downloaded Batman Dark Knight 1080p. Convert it using tsmuxer. During playback, the sound is great, but no picture. Just black from the beginning to the end.

I'm thinking these happens because, the maximum resolution of my LCD TV is 1360x768, and the resolution of the movie is 1920x1080.
At first, I set the maximum res in Tversity to 1360x768, no picture. Set it to 1920x1080, also no picture.
Now I dont know what to do.

So, please anyone can give me some ideas.

@lightning69

The original file (Wanted movie) is 4.6GB, but after conversion using mkv2vob, the output file become 3.7GB. Big difference in size. Is this normal?
Will the PQ and SQ be reduced?

Thanks  smile.gif

When you use tsMuxer to transmux your file from mkv to ts, make sure you change the x.264 video to level4.1 and your sound is ac3 dolby digital. If your resulting ts file play with sound but no picture, then its likely the video format is not compatible with ps3. Most mkv file i download is compatible with only a few that is not. If you come across those mkv files that has video stream that is not compatible with ps3, then you need to convert it using mkv2vob. Next time I will avoid those mkv files from certain authors to avoid lengthy time in converting them.

For smaller file size after conversion from mkv2vob, its normal because you are converting the dts track to ac3 which is much smaller file size. So far i did not notice any drop in video quality...and dolby digital sound fine to me...

Ok. Thanks!. I already make moves like yours - downloading from certain authors. So, the only way, right now, to be able to watch the movie is to convert it using mkv2vob, right?
The file is 11GB.  cry.gif  laugh.gif

Yeah, I did not notice any loss in quality as well.
Thanks for the explanation.

For movie that comes with subtitles, is there any way I can make it displayed during playback using PS3. I tried download movie with subtitle, and convert it using tsmuxer and mkv2vob

For tsmuxer, no success. Even if I add the subtitle file with the movie during conversion to .ts.
For mkv2vob, also no success. I already tried different configuration.

At the moment PS3 do not support subtitles and multiple audio for ts, vob or mp4.

There are 2 ways you can watch your movies with subtitles. One is to use tsmuxer to make a bluray disc and burn on dvd disc which can be play with your ps3 which you can then toggle the subtitles on or off.

The other ways is to re-encode the video stream with mkv2vob and remember to check the encode subtitles.

I'M having problem when i use TVersity....it lags sometimes...and i use mkv2vob software for conversion.and i can detect noise on my panasonic 32" full hd. is it because i'm using cap ayam hdmi cable..i'm thinking of changing my hdmi cable with monster hdmi cable..is it worth it???

All HDMI cable give the same results. Its digital.


Added on January 22, 2009, 8:12 pmFor those of you who wants to play mkv files with subtitles and DTS audio on your HD TV...your dream have just come true.

Check out the Western Digital WD TV HD Media Player

user posted image

This thing can play almost all the digital media like movies, photos, music from any usb drive. Best of all it supports NTFS which means that you don't need to split those larger mkv files to 4gb size. PS3 only supports fat32 limits the filesize to 4GB.

Thanx bro... finally with some tweaking it plays... well most of the files... some still not working but it's a big improvement. My only gripe left is that via wireless it does lag... but that is natural. Once i get it to run wired it should improve tons. Already seeing a lot of improvement in terms of vid quality as compared to my XMBC set up. I compared frame to frame... colours r so much nicer ... XMBC running on component but at 480i tho... XMBC on 720p is just hideous!

Try PS3mediaserver...its much better and more simple to set-up. I have switch from Tversity to PS3mediaserver.
