I'm looking to start playing MKV content on my PS3. GOTsent seems great, but I'm having issues with 5.1 audio and subtitles.

The MKV I'm currently working with is h.264, 1080p, AC3 5.1, filters not hardsubbed.

- apparently the only way to get AC3 to play on the PS3 unless you choose Mux to VOB and 5.1 in AC3Filter settings. Is that correct?
- what's the story with getting subtitles to play on PS3? My understanding is that a) subtitles must be hard-subbed, and b) the only way to hard-sub is to re-encode. Is that correct?

If so - then I would choose:
Target: PS3 5.1
Embed subs
Mux to Vob
Fast Mux
AC3 Filter Options - switch to 5.1
Check re-encode...
...but what format should I re-encode to?

Everything I've tried has resulted in no subtitles - I always check on the PC first in mplayer and see no subs, but do see them in the original.

The irony is that the first test DID have subs, even on the PS3, but every encode I've done since does not.

I uninstalled all codec packs, etc, and installed the latest CCCP and AC3Filter, so I should be set with the latest.
