Black screen on blueray on ps3

[aika]

When i burn a blueray movie and i use txmuxer to make the Mkv file to blueray disc, then burn it with imgburn then i cant get any picture on it in a ps3, only sound. In my Samsung bluerayplayer there is no problem.
I hope someone has a solution

Post the details from the mkv. Use mediainfo,view->text. It might not be blu-ray/avchd compliant so you must reconvert with for example bdtoavchd, bdrebuilder,etc.

Yep, the resolution is not Blu-Ray compliant; it's been cropped.

Another way to fix it would be to run the MKV through uncropMKV, then author with tsMuxer as before. (That means a re-encode, no way around it, and quality loss, however small.)

[aika]

Ok, i am going to try that. How much quality loss are we talking about ?

Nobody can answer that question. Depends on what you use to encode, what the settings are, and how picky you are. Under the best circumstances you won't notice. It's not possible to quantify the amount except to say under the best circumstances it should be "very little to unnoticeable".

Thank you, i am going to try the uncropMKV and will return with the result.

I cant get the uncropmkv program to Work but i re encoded it with bd to avchd and it worked fine, but took a very long time to re encode. The thing i notice was that there is now Black bars in top and bottum and not fuld screen movie. Can that be changed or is it just the way it is ?

The Blu-Ray spec allows a resolution of 1920x1080 but not 1920x798 as in the mkv. The black bars were added to the top and bottom to correct the resolution, while maintaining the original aspect ratio for the movie.

Your other choices are to crop off some of the picture on the left and right and re-size what is left to 1920x1080, or just re-size to 1920x1080, although everything will look stretched.
