I had a bunch of MKV files. These were ANIME episodes (24 in all). The video was H.264 but was set to Level 5.1 whereas Level 4.1 is the highest setting that the Sony PS3 will play (same for the XboX 360). These MKV files had 2 sets of audio (both 2.0 AAC-LC with one in English and one in Japanese) as well as English subtitles.
GOTSent was able to demux the MKV and create a MP4 file with just the English audio (which is what I wanted) and it changed the H.264 header to read Level 4.1 for PS3 compatibility. It did this very easily with very little input from me thus making an otherwise manual process very quick and easy. In fact after I did the first file and tested it on my PS3 (to ensure that everything worked as it should) I then did the rest of the files in batch mode (folder mode instead of file mode) and damn it did it all with almost no input from me ... amazing!
Please note that in this case I was "lucky" in that the neither the video nor the audio had to be re-encoded so really it was just a demux from MKV and a mux to MP4 but like I said it made the process easy and very quick without much input. So in short this program saved me a bundle of time!
Now if re-encoding had to be done ... well I haven't done that with GOTSent and I'm not sure I "trust" it for all that. If I have to do any re-encoding I use XVID4PSP which is simply an amazing program for H.264 encoding (and it supports MP4 and M2TS both of which are PS3 friendly).
Anyway a big thank you to the person or persons behind GOTSent!
