“Whenever surfing in the Internet, I always come across the problem like this ‘My TV plays MKV formats via USB, but it won’t do the whole DTS audio, I’ve got all these great movies and I can’t hear them, so I need to convert the audio to AC3;” said Jack Ma, “In order to help solve the problem, our R&D engineers exerted ourselves to optimize our software by introducing advanced technology, fortunately, after a long-time efforts and exploration, our engineers made a great improvement in the IT industry”.

Okay, here comes the basic function of Moyea MKV Converter for Mac. It enables users to convert MKV files or streams to other common video/audio formats such as MP3, AC3, AAC, WAV, OGG, WMV, AVI, MPEG, MP4, MOV, WMA, M4A, VOB, SWF, FLV, and etc, for playback on popular devices like iPod, PSP, iPhone, Apple TV, Popcorn, Xbox 360, and so on. What’s new in this program? To begin with, it is capable of converting batches MKV files up to 2 times faster in comparison with the previous version and counterparts’ software. Moreover, it adds “Deinterlacing” function and Simple Gauss Blur effect to “Editor” interface, which can definitely remove the interlacing noises or videos, so as to further ensure the HD video. Above all, when choosing AC3 or AAC audio, people can easily get 5.1 channel surround sound, a standard sound format found on most DVDs and CDs.

By the way, there are only three steps to complete the task of converting MKV with DTS sound to AC3 with 5.1 channels. Step One: Load MKV files with DTS sound into this program. Step Two: Specify output format from the drop-down menu of Format, and click “Settings” button to set video Codec as H.264, audio Codec AC3, and audio Channels 5.1. Step Three: choose destination folder and hit “Click” button to start the conversion. Once the conversion is completed, you will get the AC3 audio.

So why not go to http://www.pavtube.com/mkv-converter-mac/ to check?

just worked for me.

iSquint / VirtualHub only support 1 audio track and no chapters… thus these apps have only rudimentary support of the file formats they claim to support. Hardly a 1st or even 2nd class solution.

VLC transcoding resulted in corrupt file (as .mpg or .mp4).

Handbrake, didn’t detect the chapters correctly; shows only 1 chapter, despite the file having discrete chapters. Worse, doesn’t do pass through (http://forum.handbrake.fr/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=9179)

Quicktime + Perian; won’t open the file, says unrecognized for some reason (i don’t have other mkv files to test).

Trying with the as of yet unmentioned RoadMovie, crashed RoadMovie.

Also looked at a few other paid apps, but all had the same shortcomings of VirtualHub (rudimentary file format support).

Am amazed good tools for creating full mp4 files, with subs and multiple tracks, doesn’t exist. Also am amazed me that someone would write a tool, but then not completely support the file format they claim to be a solution for. From what I’ve seen, most couldn’t “bother” to use existing Mac UI instead of rolling their own (worse) version, such I can’t be bothered to buy their app.

1. Get VLC.
2. Open up the streaming and transcoding wizard (its under the file menu).
3. Click transode/save to file press next.
4. Then select your stream, press next.
5. On the Transcode page make sure none of the options are on, turn them off if they are. You don’t want to transcode your just remuxing. Press next.
6. Chose MPEG PS, press next.
7. Chose your save destination, press next.
8. Check if the details a correct and press finish, then wait while it does it business.

This works on PC and Macs, all you have to do is then transfer it to your PS3.
