The resulting videos can be streamed across your home network to be played on the PS3, they can be played from an external HDD formated as Fat32 or they can be converted to a Blu-Ray Disk to be played in the player.

If tsmuxer stops working it is because the mkv file was created poorly and needs fixed. download mkvmerge and use it on the file to repair it. there is an advanced option that allows you to disable compression which produces better file compatibility. hope this helps some of you.

Is this program going to give me an exact rip of the quality of the video i extract such as full bluray 1080p? also is tsmuxer going to rip about the same quality as this or better?

[StuffworksReviews]

@eluded1 as long a it is not set to transcode, it will be a full exact copy. It produces the same as tsmuxer because it uses tsmuxer.

So which is the software that we need to install on ps3 to play the movies after conversion ?

[StuffworksReviews]

@Smickbv the streaming software called PS3 Media Server works best.

my problem is that the audio is not sync. to the video.. can you help me ?

[StuffworksReviews]

@Luc1993as Try playing the video on your computer and see if it plays ok, if the audio is out of sync it is usually because you are using a bad source file. You also want to make sure you are using the PS3 Media Server to stream the video.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!, This will not work most if not all HD movies are over 3.9 Gigs witch cannot be placed on in a Fat32 external HDD or standard DVD and by shrinking the video you WILL lose video and audio quality.
