dts audio in .vob/.ts files

post #1 of 19
Thread Starter 
Can the PS3 not decode DTS or AAC audio when its one of the audio streams in a vob file? Or a .ts file? I have to either make it mp3 or AC3/A52/DD5.1

My receiver supports both, but whenever I play those files it just says it doesn't have an audio stream.

Are you bitstreaming or PCM'ing?

I believe it support 5.1 AAC in a vob since that is what mkv2vob uses but it might be a non-standard vob.

My receiver is connected to my PS3 via HDMI, and I believe I have it set to send Linear PCM. On Movies(DVD/Blu-Ray) with DTS it decodes it just fine.

mkv2vob does everything to AC3. However, I don't always use that, I sometimes extract the video and audio using mkvextract and change the profile of the video to 4.1 and then use the DTS audio track with tsMuxer to make a transport stream with DTS.

I couldn't get this to work, AC3 works fine but the two titles I tried with DTS tracks had no sound.

Supposedly you can have 264 video with dts audio if you create a AVC-HD DVD. But you can't play that file directly from a usb device or hard disk, at least noone so far has figured out a file container format that could support it on PS3.

I don't know about VOB but it does not support AC3 (Dolby Digital) in TS files.

It DOES however support AC3 in PS files - and the conversion is very easy with VLC (change container - no loss of quality).

can you burn a h264 dts file onto a dvd media disc as data disc and play back dts on ps3?

Could you post link, how to use VLC for instructions?

Is there any ways a THORA file can be converted to play with ps3?

Once you start playing with streaming to file, it's pretty self explanatory. And if VLC can play it, it can almost without limit "stream" it out to something PS/3 CAN play.

PS3 can play back h264, at least certain "profiles", maybe not all of them, though they have updated that codec over the last couple of updates. I don't know about DTS audio though, I have never seen a h264 file with DTS audio (AC3 or AAC or maybe MP3, sure).

This is from memory, I don't have VLC installed right here but, in the File menu there is a "wizard". You open the "wizard" and choose convert. Then when it asks for video and audio codecs, you select "no change" or something like that, then for the last step "container" you change it to MPEG2_PS. It should run thru it pretty quickly.. about 10-15 minutes for a 2hr movie I guess.

Yeah look here

http://www.videolan.org/doc/streamin....html#id305152

File menu -> Wizard (or Ctrl-W)
Choose "Transcode/Save to file". Click Next (at the bottom).
Choose "Select a stream/file", click the button and choose the file you want to convert. Click Next.
Under Transcode - UNcheck both video and audio (you are not transcoding either). Click Next.
Under Encapsulation format, choose "MPEG PS". Click Next.
Type or choose the filename to save to, and click "Finish".

checkout avchd on wikipedia....

"Some standalone Blu-Ray players may require creating proper directory structure, other players as well as Playstation 3 gaming console are able to play raw AVCHD video files off a regular DVD disk."

anecdotal reports (as I said) are that doing this with a file containing dts audio WILL be playable (and listenable) on a PS3. Nero 8 Ultra is the app most referenced for burning such a disc.

What have you got to lose? A blank DVD costs merely pennies. Do some reading and give it a whirl! And let us know how it goes!

Will transcoded files will be ps3 playable? on hard drive, USB, DVD R or streamed via tversity? Can VLC stream too, to ps3?

It is not going to work. END OF STORY. I have been on this research rodeo for over a couple months and the PS3 firmware does not have it enabled. If the PS3 doesn't recognize it, then it will never play through streaming.

Types of files that can be played

The following types of files can be played under (Video).

Memory Stick Video Format
- MPEG-4 SP (AAC LC)
- H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Main Profile (AAC LC)
MP4 file format
- H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile (AAC LC)
MPEG-1 (MPEG Audio Layer 2)
MPEG-2 PS (MPEG2 Audio Layer 2, AAC LC, AC3(Dolby Digital), LPCM)
MPEG-2 TS (MPEG2 Audio Layer 2)
AVI
- Motion JPEG (Linear PCM)
- Motion JPEG (μ-Law)
AVCHD (.m2ts / .mts)
DivX
WMV
- VC-1(WMA Standard V2)

So...
MPEG TS only supports MPEG2 audio.
MPEG PS supports MPEG2, AAC LC, AC3, and LPCM.

Yes, from HDD or streaming.

If your streamer can transcode formats on the fly to something the PS3 does understand, then great, otherwise no it won't work when streaming either.
