Never know got Tversity thread here...
I'm using it with PS3 all the time...
cable with PC, wifi with PS3.
sometimes hangs when its too long...
overall. convenience

So do you get your HD movies?

Alright. I tried using mkc2vob. Tried to display the subtitles.
It works. the subtitle appear. But the placement of the subtitle is to low, so some part can not see as out of display.

the only annoying thing is the time taken to convert the files. It's very long...
The quality is good.
I think it's better to watch using PS3 than my PC.

since i can use my laptop with hdmi direct to my fullhd lcd.. this maybe too troublesome for me. so u guys who dl from rapidshare have own rapidshare account? whats the price for that?

So far the only way to play subtitles that is selectable on the PS3 is to transmux the mkv files to bluray file format and burn to DVD. The PS3 can then play it like a normal bluray disc. You can even have multiple audio track.

For those mkv files transmux to m2ts or ts or vob format will not support multiple audio or subtitles when playback on the PS3. Hope sony will rectify this in future firmware updates.

The reason its taking so long to convert the files its because mkv2vob is actually re-encoding the whole video by putting the subtitle into each frame. In other words its hard subtitles which cannot be turn on or off.

I only use mkv2vob if the audio is DTS which need to be converted to Dolby Digital AC3 format.

For now i am really happy with the quality i get and i don't like subtitles anyway.

Added on October 18, 2008, 10:45 pmIts really not that troublesome when you know how to do it. Most mkv files just need to be transmux to ts file extension without re-encoding the whole video and it takes less than 5 mins.

Playing your movies direct from you laptop to your full hd LCD is one option, but how about the sound? Can you get full 5.1 or 6.1 dolby digital sound? When I play my HD ts files via Tversity on my PS3, I get full 5.1 or 6.1 Dolby Digital sound and it awesome. You gotta try it.

Yes, i have a premium account and it only cost 55Euros( Rm280) for 1 year. That is only RM23 per month. I use to buy ahem DVD9 that cost RM15 per disc and the quality is nowhere near what I am getting from rapidshare now. For your info, I am downloading 10gigs of data everyday which is the limit for rapidshare premuim user.

You need to register to gain full access and its free.

what is your username? i want to refer your username

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

u never read the direction to install tversity is it? very clearly stated there delete your existing codec

dont simply assume. of course i uninstall all codec.. all is clean install and there's another guide on net that says can be used with klite

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.

when streaming through Tversity, can you fast forward or rewind it?? was told that if u remux it and play through PS3 directly, u cant fast forward or rewind...

Yes,you can fast forward and it support search function too.

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.

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

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...
