Get a program called tsMuxeR.

1. Load your mkv.
2. There should display 2 streams, audio and video. Highlight the video stream.
3. If the AVC level is higher than 4.1 change it down to 4.1.
4. Select the m2ts radio button.
5. Start muxing.

Now you have a m2ts file fully compatible with the PS3, it is also streamable, not sure if media player will stream it though, I use Cyberlink Media Pro to stream.

hi yes it worked :) your a legend. i used the the cyberlink media and it sorted it. i relised after that when i looked at the media player file types that it wasnt there and clicked lol that it wont play it :D. Cheers mate

Good to hear. FYI, with the m2ts extension there is no file size restriction, no need to split.

My method was as follows :

I used MKV2VOB. You're not reencoding. Choose the MKV file, and hit ADD. It will convert it to an MPG file which can be streamed either through MediaPlayer 11, or TVersity (Both of which work amazing). It took 10-12 minutes for this process (4.5 gig file)

I believe with that method you would be limited to the 4GB size, am I not correct?

Where do you get the cyberlink media pro?

It is commercial software, you buy it.

I'd like to do the same thing except my movie needs subs, does TVercity support subtitles? Or would I still have to hardcode the subs into it?

Subs are a no-go in m2ts, you'd need to hardcode.

you can also stream it through Windows Media 11 by muxing it to .m2ts through TsMuxer and then just rename the extension .mpeg after that and you're good to go...

Is it true that Windows Media Player 11, Tversity, and Cyberlink would all provide the same file support when streaming to the PS3? As in each will have the same type of files that work and don't work.

Not neccesarily;

Cyberlink: See's m2ts but the PS3 display's as mpeg2... until on the HDD.

TVersity: Does not see m2ts---> rename as .m2t.

Media Player: Does not see m2ts---> rename as .mpeg.
