Sorry I can help you out on this one.  I personally don't like subtitles as i think its such a distraction so I never really go to explore how to get sub to display. I will try to find out something for you.

I, myself need the subtitles also. Esspecially, when watching House 720p, because they talk medical jargon and fast. Really hard to catch what they are saying. laugh.gif
I'm exploring too. When I got it, I'll post here.

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... sweat.gif
The quality is good.
I think it's better to watch using PS3 than my PC.

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.

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.

Also tested the PS3 Media Server. Works great.
At first, got problem - data is corrupted. But already figured it out. My Sunbelt Personal Firewall seems having problem with PMS.
Disabling or exiting the firewall didn't solve the problem. Only by uninstalling it, then I can play all video files,even mkv with subtitles smoothly.
Overall, works great. thumbup.gif

Now, trying to figure out how to decrease the subtitle font size.

I don't think it's appropriate to talk about PMS here, at this is Tversity thread.
Unless the thread's title change to "Media Server for PS3". Then we can discuss whatever type of media server for PS3.
Just an idea notworthy.gif
