Play MKV files on Playstation 3

What you will need:

- An MKV file

- MKV2VOB - Found here ---> hxxp://download.videohelp.com/download/mkv2vob224.exe

- A PS3 (duh!)

What MKV2VOB does is remux an MKV file with x264 video and AC3 audio into a VOB file which is playable on your Playstation 3. Before you ask...no, this will not result in the loss of quality because the audio or video are not touched. The streams are split and mixed into the VOB file.



So you've got your MKV file now and you are ready to start remixing it:

- First, you have to open MKV2VOB and select the file which you would like to work on and then select where you would like to save the finished file. When you have done this, click "Save".

- You will then have a dialog box pop up that asks if you want to enable automatic MPEG2 transcoding. It is recommended that you click "Yes".

- Another box will then pop up when you start the whole process. Do not close this box. Wait for it to complete what it is doing.

- When that box has closed, another box will open. Again, do not close or mess with this box. Wait for it to complete what it is doing.

- When that box has finished doing what it is doing, yet another box will open. Leave this alone and do not close it.

- When that box has closed the task is complete and you should be presented with a "Remuxing Complete" box.

You're probably thinking "Oh no, but my Playstation 3 can't store/play files with a size this large"..well, for some reason..it can!

Also, PS3's can run data files from external HDD BUT they have to be FAT32 and when your converting
make sure the output file is no larger then 4gb as the fat 32 will not accept anything larger then 4gb.

I hope this guide is somewhat helpful for those who are not sure about how to play MKV files on their PS3.
