[mdlug] mpeg files from MythTV play w/o audio in PS3

[R. Kannan]

1) PS3 does not recognize my flash drive. That is whole different issue which I have not resolved. I am burning the files on a DVD-RW and trying to play the files on PS3.

2) I had to install mplayer/mencoder on my machine and try it. PS3 did not like the AVI files from mencoder (using the options you had suggested)

mencoder <input_file> -ovc copy -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128 -o <outfile.avi>

though PS3 claims to support AVI files. The file works fine on mplayer. I need to look at other options.

Thanks
