Just wondering if anyone can let me know how I can convert my mkv files to m2ts and still keep 5.1 sound when streaming to ps3.
Some of my files have DTS audio, I know the ps3 cannot stream DTS so is there a way to convert the audio?
I have tried tsmuxer, but when i stream the m2ts file there is no 5.1 sound just stero sound.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can use MKV2VOB to do this. Very very easy to use.

uncheck "Always Transcode DTS" and you will have your Surround Sound.

It took a few hours to convert and the file was bigger than original. Is that normal?
Am I getting the same quality file as the original?
Is VOB better than M2TS or are the both the same?
Thanks for all the help guys, it's much appreciated.

In the configuration tab make sure you apply these settings
Video Transcoding - Automatic
File Splitting - None
Transcoding Codec - Slow (if you choose high bitrate it will take a bit longer and make the file bigger)
Output File Extension - what ever you want but I use m2ts

Any other question please do not hesitate to ask. Sorry for the late response as I work long hours.

Is there any reason you prefer m2ts? does it play better on the PS3?
mkvtovob converts to a VOB file, does changing the extenison make any difference?
I tried the High Bitrate option and the file came out more than double the original size and it took over 20 hours to convert, if storage was not an issue is it worth doing?

Quote:You cant tell with the naked eye but I cant tell. I would suggest to do an experiment to see if its worth the extra time and higher bitrate. I did and couldn't tell the difference so it wasn't the extra time for me.

Ok tried the High Bit Rate option on a few files and then compared them to the other ones, I could not tell the difference.
So considering the High Bitrate option more than doubles the file size it is not really worth it.
All the files that I have converted using mkvtovob have streamed fine to my PS3 using PS3 Media Server.
It is now a lot easier to ffw and rwd as well as skip to any part in the movie.
Thanks again geestar I now have a lot of converting to do!
