Hey guys,
So I've bashed my head against every surface I could find for the past 2 weeks with this problem.
I'll try to be as detailed as possible.
I currently have a .MKV 720p HD video file (around 6.5GB), which I want to stream through to my PS3, I'm using Mediatomb and I'm aware of the limitations of the PS3 when it comes to playing MKV files.
So I've gone ahead and saved it as a .mov file with QTP, then exported it using passthrough into a MPEG4.
The new MPEG4 file plays fine with QT & VLC on my computer, but once I add it to Mediatomb, it tells me "The data is corrupt".
I've also tried using an external drive to play the file directly from the PS3, but that failed miserably (FAT32 4GB file limitation)
I had a stint trying to separate the original file into .h264 vid & AAC Audio then re-compiling with MP4creator, specifying frame rate etc, to see if there is a difference, but i keep getting an error while trying to create the file.
Burning it to a DVD with Roxio Toast is my last alternative, but I want to avoid this as much as possible since I'd be looking at dual layer DVDs or taking a massive hit on the quality of the video, both not very good solutions.
I've googled for days, without any answers or alternatives.
Any help or latteral thinking is much appreciated
