(AC) Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I was wondering if anyone knows how to play mkv files on the ps vita, If not then do you know of any good free converter that doesn't decrease the quality of the video being converted.

Elchzard Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 PS Vita doesn't support mkv files. The absolute easiest converter I know of is Freemake. Just looking now, it seems to claim that there's no loss of quality, but I don't know if that's true - I'll check now and get back to you. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

† An IP BreAKDoWN Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 You can mux a mkv into a mp4 pretty easily. I'd use Yamb. It takes about 5 seconds to do per file, and can be batched. Above all there isn't any quality loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroPenguins Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Hmm but can it play 720p files or 1080p? If I recall the original PSP didn't allow you to play some files if the resolution is too big for the screen. Surprisingly my tablet is able to handle 1080p easily, but that's to be expected I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zx0 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 PS vita cannot handle 1080p. The resolution is only 960 x 544 pixels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIRLYWIRLYPOOL Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I hardsub anime i download into mp4 using MeGUI, MKV ToolNix & Yamb...i make them mp4, so i can watch them on my PS3, because my laptops resolution only goes to 720P...so i can enjoy full HD, surround sound audio, and styled subs (.ass)...i DONT know if my method would work for a PS Vita (Dont own one, so cant tell you for sure), but if you want i can upload a video i hardsubbed that is compatible with the PS3 to FileFactory, then you can check if it is PS Vita compatible...if it is, i can explain to you the method i go about doing it...but ill tell you right now, you have to encode the video, so it does take time...but its REALLY simple...i can send you a preset for encoding in MeGUI...

(AC) Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Sounds good if you upload the vid ill check if it works on the vita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† L4ugh Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 It may help to find out what the vita supports. If it only support High 3.2, and you're feeding it Hi10p 4.1. Then I doubt the container used will matter. You also might want to check on the number of reference frames. I believe some hardware is limited in this area as well.

I looked up the PS Vita AVC Lv, and it is 3.1....my method uses 4.1, but can be changed to 3.1 in a single click...ill encode, and mux a video into Mpeg-4 using AVC Lv 3.1, and upload it....my apologies for not uploading a video earlier, i havent had the time to do upload it P.SAlso, I read that the PS Vita can only handle 720P at max...but its such a small screen, that the quality loss from 1080P shouldnt be noticeable Edited July 29, 2012 by WIRLYWIRLPOOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
