I updated it on the website (that just got migrated). I redid it on my side, just changing the S to the ? using the Verdana Bold font.

FFMPEG can convert to MPEG2. Then you're on your own for the DVD stuff. DVDSanta can be used for the whole conversion process.

I use ubuntu 7.1 because of it's versatility and reliability. However, I have recently run into what I believe to be an insurmountable problem. That being making a dvd out of mkv files, I have spent the last week trying to find a way, all to no avail. Even all the experts at ubuntu launchpad don't know how. My main point is, what is the point of a system that can't be used by the everyday user such as myself. I have wasted countless hours trying to find out. I now have a computer full of files I can't use, these files will be erased as soon as I have finished this email, and my only recourse is to studiously avoid anything that has 'mkv' attached to it. The final straw came when I was reading a forum this evening and found a quote from you and your organisation 'admitting' that the format is useless, i.e. I have to crowd my wife and children around my computer monitor to watch a film. I have also emailed Azureus and informed them that I will no longer be downloading anything from them, there is no point. That being said, I wish you well in your endevours to get the dvd manufacturers to adopt the system. Don't hold your breath, unless they get a slice of the action they won't want to know about it. Yous sincerely, Ian Brownlie. _________________________________________________________________ Are you paid what you're worth?

My doubts are about playstation 3 I would like to know if there will be a support for sony playstation 3 for matroska video files ? my other question is that ps3 support divx in high resolution if I could pass matroska to avi it would play in ps3 with high resolution and maybe 6.1sound. I'm not able to open mkv in virtual dub mod, and I can't pass it. I use ffdshow and haali media spliter to play mkv but no success in direct stream copy. Any sugestion, please ?

It depends on the kind of codec you have in your MKV files. If it's MPEG4 ASP (DiVX) then you can extract the video to mux it to AVI. If the audio is MP3 or AC3 you can extract it and mux it to AVI. The resulting muxed AVI file should play in your PS3. For all other codecs, you'll need some reenconding. I suggest using FFMPEG as it can encode to AVI in DivX/MP3+AC3 without reencoding the audio or video stream (if it's compatible). It requires learning the command line parameters but in the end it's worth it... Steve
