    Hei.I want to play my mkv films with ps3,but I want with SUB.I tried TSmuxer,and output to M2TS,but the results no sub(embeded sub)when I playing it with pc (kmp).So how I can use TsMuxeR to find sub with PS3???I have external HDD with ntfs file system.
    I do not want use MKV2VOB because is very slow,and is take over 24 hour for 4 gb mkv file.

    thank you

    I have an MKV file that plays perfectly on my computer, but because it is HD, I need to convert it to a .ts file to play through my PS3 via TVersity.

    When I look at the properties of the original MKV file, the video resolution is 952x720, however, the aspect ratio is listed as 16:9. However, after using tsMuxer, the resulting file is still 952x720, but the aspect ratio is changed to 1.32x1, squishing the image vertically. Now, I realize I can stretch it out on my television, but that seems to be an inelegant solution.

    Is there a way to mux the file or use a different program that will allow me to keep the original aspect ratio from the MKV?

    Thanks for any suggestions!

    hey buddy, i had numerous weeks and even a month or 2 trying to figure this out, then i used ps3 media server to transcode-copy the mkv file over to my PS3 and the result was perfect. The aspect ratio stayed the same and i could then watch the movies no probs.

    the problem is 952x720 isn't HD. You can try mkv2vob (which uses tsmuxer), but it usually has the same aspect ratio issue with files that aren't 1280 or 1920 wide.

    You can try PS3 Media Server as someone suggested, but honestly I'd try to download a proper ratio version instead.

    Okay, here is my issue:
    I have a MKV file of ALIEN at 720p - looks great, but when I used the SPLIT AND CUT function with TSMUXER to test a clip on the PS3, I had video but no audio.

    (1) I know this means I will probably have to remux the MKV audio, but how would I do this so I can retain the surround sound with the video AND retain the 720p video image?

    (2) if I used the MKV2VOB program, the MKV file would be converted to a VOB file (for I assume IMGBURN to burn onto a dvd); would this mean the video would be down-converted to 480p or would the original 720p resolution be retained in the conversion?

    I am in the process of working on a fan edit of ALIEN using the 720p file as a source, but can't start yet until I can convert it into a file I know plays on my PS3 (being that I am completely virgin on all of this stuff). ANY help would be appreciated!

    Here's the link to what the edit will entail (eventually):

    what format did you remux to? And did the file have DTS audio? if so that's the problem. The PS3 can't play DTS in a file - unless it's patched with mkv2vob or streamed with PS3 Media Server (check the box that says "Keep DTS audio in stream") in the Transcoder Settings tab.

    with mkv2vob, leave Output File Extension on automatic and it will create a file with an .mpg extension (the file will actually be in an MPEG-TS container at that point). You can then stream this .mpg with PS3 Media Server.

    If the file doesn't have to be transcoded (it will say "No" under the Transcoding column in mkv2vob), then the video was untouched. Not sure if the PS3 can play .mpg files burned to DVD.

    If you tried to play it on a regular DVD player, it wouldn't work.

    So.. to solve your problem, you should split and cut your file, remux the file to TS and try to stream it with PS3 Media Server.

    The AVCHD folder needs to be in the root of the USB HDD.

    E:\AVCHD\

    connect the USB HDD to your computer, and open it up to view the files and folders.

    The first thing you should see is the AVCHD folder. that folder shouldn't be in any other folder - it's in the root of the drive, not nested in any other folder.

    Just like when you click your C: drive and you see the Windows folder - you should click on your USB HDD and see an AVCHD folder right there, not in any other folder.

    While in the XMB's video menu, press X on USB icon, then press X again on AVCHD.

    Use the latest version of tsMuxeR and mux to AVCHD. Then do the AVCHD-Me program, then transfer to USB... then follow the instructions in my previous post.

    Thanks odin24.now it is perfect and all is ok,just one think Why one can not change the charset of sub. The charset in tsMuxeR is just Default and no any more,that means can not use all sub. langaueges like arabic...I am using version 1.10.6

    Not sure about that. You are going to need to ask over at Doom9, there is a dedicated tsMuxeR support thread there.
