Streaming to PS3 - Choppy and studder finally fixed for me

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Sorry to delete the template. After searching and searching I might have 
lucked out. My home network is set at 100M full and the movies were always 
choppy and pixelated or just would completely freeze. I read alot of posts 
that said Gigabit was the way to go and I actually am supposed to pick up 
a gig switch tomorrow I found on craigslist.
My answer to this whole deal was DVD2ONE 2.3.0, I do not work for or even 
own a copy. I downloaded the trial ver and did the PS3 to usb harddrive 
conversion. The trial is limited to 2 hour movies only. What it does is 
take your ripped movie VIDEO_TS contents and convert it into a single VOB 
which ps3mediaserver works fine with. The dvd2one instructions talk about 
placing the files on a fat32 external drive, I pointed mine to a NTFS 
internal drive and it played just fine. Even the voices were in sync!
Hope this helps others that have this issue!!!!

what do you mean you pointed it to a NTFS internal drive? So you streamed it? 
Why
does FAT32 or the file system matter if you stream it? It does'nt if I remember
correctly. It only matters if you're attaching a USB/external HD to the PS3.

It doesn't matter if you stream it. I was just saying that dvd2one says to make 
these
work put them on a fat32 drive

Someone maybe wrote that gigabit network will help but if your PC is slow, 
nothing 
will help you;-) Oh sorry, next version will help you:-) If your video is 
jerky(slow 
PC, high bitrates on WIFI), you can use new #COPY# folder to save transcoded 
video 
directly to PS3 and play it from there so you will avoid slow CPU or WIFI 
connection. But be ware, 1080p transcoded files can take 22GB for 1hour video;-)
Anyway whay to use second application as mkv2vob/dvd2one which needs to be used 
before playing on PS3 when you can use PMS only with its on-the-fly 
processing?As 
posted above if PC/WIFI is slow, new #COPY# folder will solve it...

I don't have a slow PC. Its a dual xeon 3.4ghz with 4 gig of memory and the 
graphics
card is a PCIe Quadro FX3400. Not wifi but wired 100M full. 
How long does mkv2vob take to process a 4gig video and how big is when its done?
dvd2one took 90 seconds and was 2.6GB in size with no quality loss.

I talked in global. Not about dvd2one which converts DVD only:-) I have no 
issues 
with playing DVD video images or VIDEO_TS folders at all. I mean on WINDOWS 
system.
You can play DVD in "two modes". Natively without subtitles support or with use 
of 
MEncoder and subtitles support. DVD2ONE only split vobs to only one. You can do 
the 
same in PMS when you edit EXPERT settings. It is already mentioned in FORUM 
what 
command to use when you don't want to transcode DVD titles(MPEG2 files).
