Jan 13, 2009 PS3 Codec Pack. Discussion in '. Or do you have to download and install an OS like Linux? Download and install MKV codec for Windows Media Player. MKV codec is third party software. It means to solve the problem of how to play MKV video files. With the help of MKV codec, you can play your MKV files on many media players such as Windows Media Player, Zoom Players and so forth. However, MKV codec is almighty.

I know what the OP is trying to do, u want to watch all the HD movies you downloaded via BT on your PS3. I can tell you right now, sleep on it and here's why: *PS3's XMB does not support.mkv playback. *PS3 only recognizes FAT32 partition which means the largest file you can have is 4GB.

A standard 720p rip is 8+ GB in size. Ofcause you can get around this by splitting the movie into smaller segments. The question is, does it worth the trouble? *The RSX (aka Geforce 7800GT) is closed, yellow dog linux cannot access it. Yes, you can still install media player such as VLC to achieve.mkv playback through Linux on the PS3 but the quality will be extremely bad, as bad as 8 bit colour and sub-VHS quality pixelation, and this is ofcause due to the RSX being closed.

Rumour has it that Sony might open it in the future?? Edit: If the OP is THAT desperate to watch the HD movies you've downloaded via BT on the PS3. Here's a solution: * Convert the.mkv movie into mpeg4 or DivX * break it up into smaller files (under 4GB) * watch the movie segment by segment.

Is there a decent mkv to avi converter about? Searching on google, all I find is spyware:( Try Virtual Dub or DivX Converter. 8gb for a 720p movie thats half my download quota in one movie. Ull find an.avi movie downloaded from BT or LW with a width/height of around 608 x 256 is very watchable(not HD but dvd like) & is only round the 1-1.5gb mark. Fm14 14.3 Crack. Ive noticed the PS3 doesnt like mp3 audio format(unsupported data type) so using 'Virtual Dub' to change to uncompressed PCM works everytime. Chuck it on DVD RW through divx(takes 2 mins) & your away. Beats 8gbs & spending hours encoding into 2 pass.

Be aware though that alot of movies aren't real or have half the ending missing or no audio. Chuck it in divx player at 1% to sample & it gives you the resolution & the total length of the download. The new version of mkv2vob will split the file for you into whatever size you want (version 2.0.3). But there really isn't any need to. As stated, the PS3 supports files over 2 or 4gb no problems. I have many hi-def.mkv files that i have run through mkv2vob and the resulting output file size is dependent on the origional size of the.mkv but will normally be slightly larger than the origional.mkv file. The process is: 1.

Get your.mkv file and run it through the latest version of mkv2vob which is 2.0.3 as of today. The latest version is about 300-400% quicker than the older versions and includes alot more options and bug fixes. Make sure you set In your options page of mkv2vob the output file extension to be.mpg (not.vob) 2.

When its done, add it to your library in Windows Media Player 11 and set media sharing to on. Through the PS3, browse to your media server (the pc running WMP 11) and just copy the.mpg file you created to the PS3. Play the file!

It will be in hi-def with surround sound and it works awesome. You can also stream it from your PC but over my wireless network it was too slow and made the movie unwatchable. It might be ok over a wired LAN but i havent tried. I believe there is a slight problem with fast fwd etc but who cares. I have a heap of these converted hi-def vids on the HD of my PS3 and they are all well over 5Gb. Hope this helps. Psp Iso Games Under 500mb. Apparently v2.04 was just added yesterday.

For a long time I've been waiting to see which console would come out on top for a way to play back mkv files in all their glory and with suround sound and it looks as though the PS3 is the clear winner here thanks to mkv2vob. Which sucks as I have a 360.but now that BR is the standard this may have to be rectified. Can users here confirm that the video quality is not effected at all via this remuxing? I read on the doom9 forum something about it transcoding into mpeg2 but this may have just been if you want subtitles? Can users here confirm that the video quality is not effected at all via this remuxing?
