Most MKVs are just H.264 video and Dolby Digital(AC3) audio.

If so, use MKV2VOB, it just changes the container format, PS3 plays it fine without any transcoding :)

For those wanting to setup their PC as a media server, I find TVersity very easy to use and rarely fails on me.

Ive tried TVersity and it didnt work well.  It would crash while watching something.  Ive had to stick with Mediaplayer as my sharing app, with the reg hack to allow network shares to be streamed.
People have had good experience with tversity, Im not one of them :(

Yeah, its not perfect, but generally, very reliable for me.

What version did you try?  There have been lots of updates recently.

Quote from: soopahflyJust found out that the new Divx 7 standard supports MKV.
Possibly if the PS3 upgrades to support Divx 7 from its current 6, then we may be in business.

It wouldnt suprise me, the system has changed an awfull lot since release, updates come thick and fast.  DivX support has been one of my favourites.  Taking a file on flash pen and playing it on your tv has never been easier.

It has been a while since I last tried it but MP11 has worked so Ive been pretty happy with it so far.
