PS3 PLayback MKV

[theENIGMATRON]

So come on am Stuck!!!

I downloaded Pulpe Fiction at 1080p

It tops in @ 9GB

So i ran it through MKVtoVOB

Split it too using mkv2vob by selecting fat32

every time it finishes i have no audio................ any ideas

[theENIGMATRON]

Sorted
I Changed the Decoder to Xvid
and enabled the conversion of the DLC Audio

Worked flawless. And the inbuilt splitter works well too,
1080p file converted in just under 10 minutes

Woooooow

[DJ-Daz]

why do you want to split the file?

[theENIGMATRON]

9GB will not fit onto a Fat32 Partition.
And the PS3 does not read NTFS

[DJ-Daz]

Ps3 media server.
Just save it to a local hdd, fire up PS3ms and you're done, you never need to split files again.

[theENIGMATRON]

If the PS3 stuggles to play a 4GB file @ 1080p
I doubt it very much a media server will work


Anyway i tried this ages ago, Loss in quality, Lag and stutter on images.
Audio jumps out of sync
there is just too much Data to stream a 1080p Film over Network for the ps3.

Plus even if you got the ratio right for it to play smooth enough... you cannot fast forward without it crashing.
Been there done that, got the Tshirt and the stressed out time watching a film!!

In simple terms is crap against the actually media being on the machine.

Anyway it worked fine, got it Split up into 3 parts then the PS3 played it perfect,
5.1 Audio too

took no more than 15 minutes to convert and split it all in 1 go and copy it to the drive!

Are you using a wireless network?
If so yes you'll have problems, but it's the bitrate not the dimensions of the movie.
If you are using a wired lan, then you have a problem somewhere, I have 700gig of HD movies, some 720 and a lot of 1080, and I have NO PROBLEM at all.

[theENIGMATRON]

I aint even getting into it.

yes its wired.
No there is no problem with my Network.

Yes the software is crap, I understand there is many different transcoding options for smoother play etc etc etc

But last time i used it, it was crap, it could not handle me fastwording anything fast,
Not unlike the real media directly in the machine.

There for rendered crap!!

Tversity?

[DJ-Daz]

Tversity?

That'll do it too, but on my laptop it runs once, then never runs again... there is a problem with the background service.

[theENIGMATRON]

Yer no Media Server will do.

You start a movie in HD and want to quickly fast forward to the middle.
You have to

A. Be very patent and wait for it to load properly or it will crash and then the problems start
B. Jump to where you want to wait 20 minutes and find out its still not going to play catch up


Say as you please. but any Media service does not act as good as the actual data being on the machine.
You have to rely on another 2 things.
Network and PC Performance.

If one fails you have problems.

You have the media on the machine you can do as you please, as fast as you like and have 0 issues.


Had too many headaches with that crap

[DJ-Daz]

You can still use a media server to copy the files to the ps3 internal HDD without splitting the files.

Or use timeline and jump to the scene in question.

[theENIGMATRON]

Or use timeline and jump to the scene in question.

As i said the time line takes years to load if you wanting to jump in 30 minutes .
then if you dont wait Boom it crashes.

Nar dont worry about this, its as good as dead to me.

I have a 1TB Drive that i keep my Movie collection on, Thats where they all Stay,
From Action to Drama, To Tom and Jerry to Milf go wild!!!

Like to keep everything on there, duno why as i hate to watch something twice.
