Recoding/Remuxing a HD mp4 Video File

[360]

Hello people, been a lurker on here for some time but even through searching I'm having a difficult time trying to recode a video ever since getting that bloody "Corrupted Data" error on my PS3, be it whether I try to play it from my thumb drive or copy it over. It is a high-definition video with the following specs:

SOURCE: 1080p BluRay MaxHD
VIDEO: 2192 Kbps
AUDIO: AAC 448Kbps [5.1]
RESOLUTION: 1280x528
FRAMERATE: 23.976 NTSC
FORMAT: MP4
SIZE: 2.40 GB

Now just being lazy, I attempted to just recode the file to an AVI using FormatFactory.. however, albeit recognized by the system, this resulted in a slightly choppy playback on the PS3. I read on further that I could demux the MP4 file and convert the AAC audio file to AC3 and then remux to a new MP4 file.. but I had absolutely no luck with this. Is this necessary anyway?

All I want is to be able to play this file on the PS3 in the quality I received it in, no choppiness. Could someone please assist?

I'm running Windows 7 with a generous amount of memory. Cheers

Xvid4psp -- copy the video reencode the audio into a new MP4 file.

Cool thanks man, I'll give it a go!

Unfortunately the program just crashes when I try to load the MP4..

You can try AviDemux.

Hi 360,

To PS3 use RIPBOT264. Its make a perfect MP4 PS3 compatible. I have thousand videos on PS3 using RIPBOT to encode.

MP4+AAC will work like a charm.

Could be a really simple fix. The information you've given isn't enough to diagnose the problem.

The PS3 supports multi-channel .aac audio in the .mp4 container as long as it is LC-AAC, not HC-AAC. Most .aac tracks are LC so that's probably not the problem. Most likely you have an incompatible video stream. Run the original file through mediainfo and let us know whether it's Xvid, AVC, VC-1, etc.

If the original file was created with Quicktime, then that's another possibility, too.

While this is true, it may be completely unnecessary and would require a complete recode. With more info, we might be able to come up with a solution that only takes a couple of minutes.

I agree.

Previously used the multiAVCHD for it. He can create full PS3 compatible file without reencoding.

Try it.
