I did not write most of this, just found it and am repeating it for everyone to use. I have personally used the first 2 methods and both gave me 100% quality and clarity of the original file. ![]() ![]() *Note* pictures are a little outdated, but are mostly right. Use your head and the real program to make the right selections with the directions. Its all very simple. Also you can hover over things in the program for an explanation. Tools: mkv2vob imgBurn <- Only for second method Method 1: Convert .MKV files for PlayStation 3 using mkv2vob Configuring mkv2vob Guide image Spoiler Before starting the conversion process, it is important to go through a few configuration options of the mkv2vob. Under the configuration tab you will find a few options to adjust.
Starting the conversion Guide image Spoiler With the configuration set, the actual usage of mkv2vob is very easy and straight forward.
Our example file here has a non-compatible video stream for PS3 usage, so the video needs to be transcoded. The transcoding process can be quite lengthy, especially if you have chosen the x264 codec and you have a lengthy video file so be patient. In case no transcoding needed, the mkv2vob remuxes the .MKV file very quickly - typically in just a few minutes. After the conversion process has completed, you will have file with the chosen extension (see Configuration) that can be played in the PlayStation 3. Burn the file on a DVD or transport to PS3 using other mediums (USB stick or hard drive) and you are good to go! Method 2: Convert .MKV files to PlayStation 3 AVCHD with subtitles using mkv2vob This method is much faster if you have an HD .mkv file you want to convert for the PS3 but it requires you to burn it to a disc. I use a re-writable disc so this method works great for me. Takes all of 10 mins to mux and burn it. Preconditions
Configuring mkv2vob for AVCHD output Guide Image Spoiler Couple of options need to be set in the mkv2vob Configuration tab to enable the AVCHD output.
Using mkv2vob Guide Image Spoiler Using mkv2vob is very simple as it is only a matter of choosing the input file and defining the destination folder for the output
Burning the AVCHD disc with ImgBurn After the mkv2vob has completed processing your video files, you will have the following directory structure in your destination folder: D:\video_file_name\BDMV D:\video_file_name\CERTIFICATE The recording process for AVCHD or Blu-ray disc is not very different from regular DVD recording. In AVCHD / Blu-ray file structure there are two root level folders to record, and the file system must be set to UDF 2.50. Perform the following steps: Guide image Spoiler
Watch the recording process go, and after it is done you are ready to watch AVCHD/Blu-ray on your PlayStation 3. Just slip in the disc and the PS3 will recognize it as a video disc, and auto-start playback. Under Options menu (triangle) you can now enable/disable subtitles as desired. Enjoy your AVCHD high definition video! Method 3: Convert .MKV to USB AVCHD for PlayStation 3 using mkv2vob *Note* I have not tested this method but others say it works just fine if you follow the directions. In our previous AVCHD guides for PlayStation 3 we have use DVD recordables as the medium for transferring the content to the console. This however has some downsides, the worst one being that file size increases in the MKV to AVCHD conversion process as the AVCHD adds all kinds of meta-data to the content. In practice this means that if you have a Matroska (.MKV) file that is matched to the size of a DVD-R(W) at 4.4GB and you convert it to AVCHD then it will not fit a regular DVD-R(W) and you’ll need a dual-layer disc. This is where a USB pen drive comes very handy - the prices have gone way down and one can get a 8GB or 16GB USB memory for peanuts. A USB pen drive is an excellent medium for transferring and watching you HD video content on PS3 - it’s reusable, portable, fast, and convenient. And now with the latest mkv2vob version you have an excellent tool for the MKV to USB AVCHD conversion. You’ll be watching your video on PS3 in 5 minutes - read on! Preconditions

Copying the files to the USB drive Now the final step is to copy the resulting \AVCHD\ with subdirectories to the USB drive, which of course is only a matter of dragging and dropping the folder using Windows Explorer. You can also configure the mkv2vob output folder straight the USB drive, but this feature has one design flaw within mkv2vob - at least with the version 2.4.5, the mkv2vob outputs a folder structure of \video_file_name\AVCHD\ which the PS3 does not recognize as the AVCHD folder must be located at drive root. This is very easy fix though, as you can just browse to the USB drive in Windows and move the AVCHD folder to the root level of the drive. Now eject the USB drive from Windows, unplug it and stick it to your PS3. The console recognizes the AVCHD content and the video is playable as it would a be a video disc. Very convenient! Enjoy your High Definition video! Enjoy All ![]() Also feel free to sticky this if you please mods
