    How can i watch MKV on my PS3???

    Guys

    i have a 7gb MKV file which i am desperate to watch on my
    ps3, but i just cant get my head round it?

    i've tried the mkv2vob app, but it fails on on the dts to ac3 bit and crashes!

    tried the ps3 media server but the pc fails to find my ps3
    (my pc is wireless)

    can someone please help me out!

    thanks in advance!
    New Season...New hope! YNWA.

    Turn off your firewall, or hardwire your ps3. I found that wireless network cannot stream the info quick enough.... as soon as I hardwired problem sorted!

    Make sure you have a DTS receiver otherwise it might not work properly, or tick always re encode on mkv2vob

            you mean tsMuxeR

            if so iv used it 100s of times

            the thing is you need to think for yourself do a bit of reading

            if one click mkv2vob dont work for YOU
            then ~~~~ knows how yer gonner get on with this



            load the mkv file into tsMuxeR
            change level to 4.1
            tick m2ts
            start muxing

            put m2ts file on a usb stick or disc and play in ps3

            if you get no audio you need to use mkvextract to split the mkv video and audio then convert the audio with ffmpeggui to AC3
            then use mkvmerge to put the mkv and AC3 files back together
            then run the new mkv file through tsMuxeR to make the m2ts file

            all the software is here Tools - Video software and downloads - VideoHelp.com
            its all freeware

            The PS3 does not support the MKV / Matroska container, but it will support much of the audio and video that can be stored in the MKV container

            thats why you have to use tsMuxeR or mkv2vob (ect)

              Seriously people PS3 Media server is all you need!

              You may have to type in the IP address of your ps3 in your firewall to make it work, or put it into learning mode and switch your ps3 on with media server...

                I downloaded mkv unto my laptop & it looks cool, so can anyone tell me the benefits of having MKV on the ps3, as far as i can tell the ps3 plays almost everything i copy to it. Whenever i send a file to it no conversion isn't necessary. so can someone enlighten me. Thanks for posts in advance.

                  I use TVersity for streaming all sort of media over wifi with no problems very easy to setup and will steam anything mkv,vob,mp4,audio and pictures to anything ps3,xbox360,laptops ...etc transcoding if it needs too. works well and the price is right...FREE for the non pro version

                  also with the mkv2vob problem it may not be the software it may be the movie, I use mkv2vob often and have only run into a problem once it was about 2 weeks ago when I had a film that would play on the pc and stream without problems but crashed mkv2vob!!! I would try another mkv grab a sample from somewhere.

                    I used to use tversity but switched to ps3 media server-it is a lot better and plays almost anything.
