Streaming HD movies to PS3
I recently found out that I could stream HD video files to my PS3. If you have a file that is .m2ts, you can add it to your Tversity library and the PS3 will recognize it and play with no problems. However, often when you download a x264 movie it comes in the format .mkv which the PS3 does not support. Luckily there is a quick way to convert .mkv to .m2ts on PC:
- Download tsMuxer made by SmartWare (freeware)
- add your .mkv file to the Input Files area
- choose M2TS muxing in the Output area
- under General track options, set Change level to 4.0 if it defaults to a level higher then that
- click the Start muxing button and it will create you a new .m2ts file that you can stream to your PS3
The program is surprisingly fast, it usually takes me 1-2 minutes to convert a 5GB video file.
Tversity streaming to PS3 fix

Despite Tversity streaming flawlessly to my PS3 from Windows XP x86, I have never been able to get it working quite right from Windows XP x64. Every time I have tried to set it up, it would always have some degree of choppiness and not allow me to fast forward more than a few seconds before it would hang. When looking through the Tversity forums tonight I finally stumbled on a solution that has appeared to fix things entirely.
The key seems to be changing the MTU value on the PS3 from automatic to 1496 (instructions). That’s it, all I did was change that on my PS3 and use the default Tversity settings and everything streams with no stuttering at all.
