How to convert Topfield PVR .REC files to DVD

Converting Topfield .REC files into DVD compliant format is a somewhat tricky process. There are many ways to do it, which some are easier than others, some involve commercial solutions, and some are totally free. The approach to take in the conversion process depends on many aspects, like the amount of time you wish to spend, which operating system you work on (Linux or Windows) and how long is the actual recording. This article consists of several mini-guides to get you going. It does not contain every possible detail, but this should be enough to get you started. This guide is made with Topfield PVRc-5100 MasterPiece, but should apply to pretty much all non-HD models. This guide may also applicable to other brands of PVRs that produce a similar standard program stream.

Linux: Convert MKV to AVCHD for PlayStation 3 using Linux

Unfortunately a MKV to AVCHD conversion solution that would be as good as mkv2vob does not currently exist for the Linux operating system. But luckily you can run the very same mkv2vob on your Linux operating system, using the Wine Windows emulator. The installation process however includes one trick, as mkv2vob does not work on Wine straight out of the box. Read on to see how it’s done.

Convert .MKV to USB AVCHD for PlayStation 3 using mkv2vob

In our previous AVCHD guides for PlayStation 3 we have use DVD recordables as the medium for transferring the content to the console. This however has some downsides, the worst one being that file size increases in the MKV to AVCHD conversion process as the AVCHD adds all kinds of meta-data to the content. In practice this means that if you have a Matroska (.MKV) file that is matched to the size of a DVD-R(W) at 4.4GB and you convert it to AVCHD then it will not fit a regular DVD-R(W) and you’ll need a dual-layer disc. This is where a USB pen drive comes very handy - the prices have gone way down and one can get a 8GB or 16GB USB memory for peanuts. A USB pen drive is an excellent medium for transferring and watching you HD video content on PS3 - it’s reusable, portable, fast, and convenient. And now with the latest mkv2vob version you have an excellent tool for the MKV to USB AVCHD conversion. You’ll be watching your video on PS3 in 5 minutes - read on!

Convert .MKV files to PlayStation 3 AVCHD with subtitles using mkv2vob

The conversion of high definition .MKV (Matroska) video just got easier with the release of the latest mkv2vob versions. From the version 2.4.3 and up the mkv2vob tool supports creation of AVCHD (aka Blu-ray on DVD) discs with support for subtitles. If you have AVCHD compliant video material then it will not even need to be re-encoded and the whole process only takes a couple of minutes to do. On the other hand, if the video material is not standard compliant, the mkv2vob will notice this and do the whole encoding work for you automatically - it only takes substantially longer time, usually couple of hours.

Convert .MKV files to Blu-ray or AVCHD

This time we show you how to convert .MKV (Matroska) files into Blu-ray or AVCHD format. The AVCHD is a fairly new format introduced by Sony and Panasonic mainly for video camera recording, but the PlayStation 3 has native support for this format. Most likely some Blu-ray players also support, or will support the AVCHD format. Generally the AVCHD is nothing new - it is basically a Blu-ray file structure and content recorded on a regular DVD media. The media capacity is lower than with Blu-ray, so the quality is not as good but still AVCHD can store high definition 720p movies on a single DVD-R.

Convert MKV files to .m2ts for PlayStation 3

Besides gaming, the Sony PlayStation 3 is an excellent device for high definition video playback. Besides Blu-ray disc playback support, the PS3 can also play high definition video files, which can be downloaded from the Internet. The most common HD video file format is currently the Matroska (.MKV) file format, which the PS3 does not currently support. The .MKV files however in many cases contain AVC encoded video with AC3 audio, which are PS3 supported formats. In order to play the files a simple process of converting the .MKV files to .m2ts files must be performed, but with the free tsMuxeR software this is very simple to achieve and takes only a few minutes.
