I just use MKV2VOB.
So confused.
Windows XP
TVersity.
The files on the left left work fine, but the files on the right do not.
The one on the right below has garbled audio. Video is fine.
The one on the right below has video that plays at something like a quarter normal speed. Audio plays at normal speed.

I've tried so many different streaming programs and Twonky has been the best so far.

Don't use that to see what's in the video file. Use this:Slavik81 said:

It's most likely that one of the files uses QPel or some custom matrix.

Is there anyway to get subtitles to play with .mkvs on TVersity? Trying to activate it through the PS3 doesn't work and I can't seem to see any options in the settings.
*bump*
So apparently there's a new PS3 media server in town.. has anyone given it a go yet?
http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/
Check out the features:
Current features
* Ready to launch and play. No codec packs to install. No folder configuration and pre-parsing or this kind of annoying thing. All your folders are directly browsed by the PS3, there's an automatic refresh also.
* Real-time video transcoding via MEncoder, tsMuxer, FFmpeg or Avisynth.
* Lossless 5.1 PCM transcoding with DTS movies
* DVD ISOs images / VIDEO_TS Folder transcoder
* OGG/FLAC/MPC Audio transcoding
* Thumbnail generation for Videos
* You can choose with a virtual folder system your audio/subtitle language on the PS3!
* All formats PS3 natively supports: MP3/WMA, JPG/PNG/GIF/TIFF, and all kind of videos (AVI, MP4, TS, M2TS, MPEG) the ps3 is willing to play
* ZIP/RAR files as browsable folders
* Preliminary support for pictures based feeds, such as Flickr and Picasaweb
* Preliminary Internet TV / Web Radio support with VLC, MEncoder or MPlayer
Looks interesting, but it's written in Java. I'm not a fan of TVersity, so I'm looking to switch.
Edit
Oh here's the pseudo-official support site for this software.

I checked this program out a while back, and unfortunately for me I have to use both this and Tversity to be able to play every file I would want to play back.
Some .mkvs work through Tversity for me (thanks to this guide- http://www.ps3forums.com/showthread.php?t=75081) and some don't, which on the other hand work on the PS3 media server.

seconded.
and it runs in conjunction with tversity, with no problems.
I play MKV files from my memory stick after converting it to Blu Ray Structure (with subtitles) using tsMuxer (15 minutes and it's ready to play)
And Xvid files I play after converting and putting subtitles in it with AVIaddXsubs, 10 minutes and it is ready to play.
Media Sharing I use only to transfer the DIVX file or MP3 files to the PS3, for MKV and pictures I prefer to copy to a memory stick (and this is the only way to play the MKV file)

I use that same thing. There's also a program called GOTSent which will put it into a format that can play on both your 360 and PS3 (if you have both)

You rule man. I have been searching for good media server to use with my ps3 for couple of days now but didn't see this one. Downloaded it, installed MEncoder and Java Runtime Enviroment (I usually have problem with this so I didn't have it installed yet) and boom, in less than 5 minutes I was watching streamed stuff on my ps3. It was even able to stream things from my external drive with absolutely no problems.
User the PS3 server app but was inconsistant. Ended up back with TVersisty. That program has really evolved since the last time I used it.
My only issue si that the "file folder" media lilbrary works for my PS3 but the 360's only use the "default" setup (with the internet channels and where you have to go 3 levels down to get to your files)

Blue-ray structure? Tell me more...ty_hot said:
When I updated to the latest version of TVersity from an older 1.0 beta, it broke a lot of the MKVs and now they just say "The data is corrupted." Before this, every single MKV file worked, except the HD ones were slow at transcoding.
I've tried completely removing TVersity and all codecs and I haven't been able to get it to work like it used to.

Not strictly on-topic but thought this may be of some use to UK Gaffers...(did make a thread for it but don't think many saw it - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=347712)
Been using this for a while - http://www.tvcatchup.com/
Still in beta and can be a bit wonky at times but works pretty well within the PS3 web browser, 18 channels of the usual Freeview stuff.
Think there are some ISP's this won't work with but it does a check when you register.
Also works in most PC browsers no idea about Mac - someone wanna check?.

Not sure if we should merge things or whatever, but there's another thread in the OT about this new media server. I don't see any reason for having TVersity anymore.

Yeah sorry, I probably should have put it here originally. Wasn't sure it would get noticed though, so I started the other thread.
If a mod wants to merge it ... go for it.

yeah, it won't detect mine either - someone said in another thread you have to fire up the ps3 first then launch the program, but that didn't work either. i tried forwarding port 5001 to firstly my MBP and then the ps3, but neither of those worked.
someone else mentioned forcing the program to use a certain ip for the media server but i could'nt work out where to override this? i'm sure it's something completely obvious
and seconded on that aviAddXSub program, worked perfectly and in less than a minute total.

It's in portuguese but you may understand only using the pictures
"Passo 1" to "Passo 3" is to create the files to be copied (put them in a separate folder), then:
If you use a pendrive:
a - Download AVCHD-ME.exe
b - In the pendrive, create a folder "PRIVATE"
c - Inside of PRIVATE, create an "AVCHD" folder.
d - Inside AVCHD, copy the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders you get before (those in the separate folder)
e - Copy "AVCHD Me.exe" inside of AVCHD folder and run it. Them delete it.
Now you are ready to play the file
If you want to play from a memorystick you need to do the same thing you did for a pen drive, but without the "PRIVATE" folder.
that's it. Hope you understand my poor english
PMS is a great program. The only problem I have encountered was when it would read certain flac files but not others. Turns out I had a setting in EAC which added id3 tags to flac rips which causes them to be unreadable by certain devices or software.
Now if only it would display embedded artwork.
Also, is there a way to prevent it from appending 'mencoder*' or whatever at the end of filenames?
