and would like some help for configuring the ps3 server
first i would say don't buy this shit because it s sell as an 720p hdtv media player but it can't play 720p it s just a big joke
it can only play 720p (1280x720) in mpeg2 with maximum 30fps and 8mbits
seriously this can't be good good quality that bitrate is used for dvdfor hd 720p it must be higher than 12mbits to have someting good
but anyway it's the only way
for h264 its limited to level 3.0 1.5mbps (720x576) 25fps (720x400 30fps) fhat s olso a big joke can't play a 2mbits/s file
for divx 3mbits 720x576 30fps but i tested 1 file with divx5 in 1200x672 25fps 4megabits it plays with no lag
most of my mkv file's wont play (especialiy them with 25fps and aac)
so the best way is to transcode all to mpeg2
so i would like that ps3 server
limit the resolution to 1280*720
limit the bandwith to 8megabit (this is done and works)
dowgrade 1080i/p to 720p
downgrade 50/60fps to 25/30
force retranscoding to mpeg2 (done, by force transcoding folow extention: mkv,ts,mp4 )
i uncheked default setting in Mencoder setting (because it didin't play when file come with aac sound and 25fps in mkv)
and i added this lines :
(container == avi || container == matroska) && vcodec == mpeg4 && acodec == mp3 :: -mc 0.1 (what is this line ?)
framerate == 23.976 :: -speed 1.042709376 -ofps 25
vcodec == mpeg2 && srtfile == null :: -ovc copy -nosync
segond problem is that even if transcoded for mkv is forced, i can't play file what have more than 720p 8mega
player say's can play with that bitrate / can't play with that high resolution but why ? if it s transcoded to mpeg2 with limited bitrate to 8
the player chek the original file ? so can we do something to say to the player that the file is max 720p in mpeg2 with 8mega ?
i cheked deinterlace filter but with my interlaced mpeg2 files the results look bad
olso i need to add ~~ -200ms audio delay
i goning to update this because i probably forgot a lot of thinks
thanks for them ho can help
otherthink
i did not try yet but
720*400 vob look better than a transcoded 1280*720 mkv to mpeg2 1280*720 8mega
so my quastion is it not beter to play someting like 960* with 14meg bitrate ? or it can't be beter because of lossing pixels
i use keyint=1:vqscale=1:vqmin=1 on an athlon 620 (4x 3.1ghz) my athlon4200 was to slow for it
for 720 and deinterlace filter cheked (does this olso affect video what are alredy progressive ?)
