Thank you for the reply. I was successful this time using the m2ts file and the audio file in Tsmuxer and downconverting to AC3 using the utility within Tsmuxer.
Yes, as long as your system can handle it. The formaty must be LPCM. If your system can handle LPCM, why down convert to AC3? You are losing a tonne of audio quality.
Just wondering how you guys are adding subtitle with the blu ray when streaming to the ps3. I am using Java PS3 Server Media. When I rip the disc with MakeMKV I select the movie file, one audio track and one subtitle (first English sub). After ripping the file on my drive. I open up tsMuxer GUI and add the mkv file. Once I open up the MKV file the only tracks are see are one for video and one for audio. After creating the ts file I am using TsMuxer (Transcode) on PSMS to play. Am i doing something wrong or do I need to rip the movie a different way. Thanks

Subs aren't possible through streaming, unless you hardcode them directly into the video stream... which means reencoding. I suggest you use AVCHD format instead with an external hard drive.

Okay so theres no way to view subs when streaming to the ps3 via java ps3 media server? I believe I know why I am not able to view subtitle when using the ps3 media server correct me if Im wrong. I rip the movie with makemkv to one file. Before ripping I make sure that I selected video, audio and one subtitle. After ripping the movie, I open up MediaInfo and load that mkv file. I believe this is the subtitle I choose earlier "1 text stream: PGS".
Here is the issue I am at right now, I need to breakdown this big mkv file ( 21 gb) into 8 gb files. Reason is my computer is too slow to stream that single mkv file when using MEncoder. When i use TsMuxer GUi to split that file into 8gb files. After split the files I open up Mediainfo to check the 8gb files. I noticed that the text stream: PGS is gone. This is why when i play back that file with Meconder subtitle is not there. It seems like TsMuxer is stripping the subtitle. is there another software I could use to split the large mkv file and still keep the subtitle? thanks

tsMuxeR wouldn't strip the PGS subtitle stream unless you instruct it to. The issue might be with Mencoder possibly not supporting .sup (Blu-ray) subtitles... you might need to convert to .srt subs first. I'm not even sure MKV supports .sup subtitles, MakeMKV might be borking the subtitle file up, PGS streams are grahpic (Program Graphic Stream), a series of images... not .srt (text based), I mention this because the MediaInfo description you gave indicates this app think the graphic subs are text subs... just a thought.
So I think the problem is somewhere with Mecoder or MakeMKV, definelty not tsMuxeR.
Either way, subtitles cannot be stream whether they are properly muxed into a single file or not. In order to utilize subs they need to be in either lu-ray, or AVCHD format. I suggest AVCHD format on an external hard drive. Plug that into your PS3 and it will play perfectly, even an untouch blu-ray (main movie only) will play without issues... just instruct tsMuxeR to split at the 4GB mark and it will set everythng up properly, this is how I view my movies.
thanks odnin24 for the reply. I guess I going to quit trying to get this to work. the weird thing was that I had a mkv file that I download from the net (10gb) and when I ran it with Mencoder I was able to see the subtitle. I could disable or enable it. I then decided to load the file in TsMuxer and convert the file over to .m2ts file and now the sub are gone. I know that i could stream sub if the files are vob (from a dvd) using Mencoder. But like you say maybe its not possible with blu ray. thanks again for the help

Subtitles streams that are contained in MKV from the net usually are .srt, this is why Mencoder recognized them. Once you run that MKV through tsMuxeR it automatically converts the .srt file into .sup.
Before you run your MKV through Mencoder, which I assume doesn't like .sup file, you will need to first convert the .sup subtitle stream to .srt. Then remux to MKV, then run it though Mencoder.
