How to convert a MKV HD into an MPEG2 for PS3 with lossless quality

Well, ffmpeg could do this job and keep the high quality. The final size of the final will be 1,5 times the original size. Mpeg2 is a worst compression than Mpeg4. Here my code :

ffmpeg -i "YOURFILM.mkv" -vcodec mpeg2video -sameq -acodec ac3 -ac 6 -ab 448k -f vob -copyts -threads 4 -y "YOURFILM.mpg"

So it will convert the movie into an mpeg2 compatible with PS3. The result is hudge. So I advice to use PS3Media to play it on your PS3 in streaming. It will not transcode this movie because is already compatible with PS3.

And PS3 doesn't support any movies larger than 4Go, you need to copie it over the network or streaming it.

Have fun !
