Once you have Perian installed, open the MKV video in QuickTime Player. I haven’t tried this using QuickTime X on Snow Leopard, so I don’t know if this removes the need to pay for the QuickTime Pro upgrade. Even if you’re not doing video conversions, Perian is so useful that you need it anyway. Of all the software out there that will assist with this task, it seems that just two easily available programs are needed.įirst up, you must have Perian installed. Therefore, the objective is to convert from one audio format to the other whilst leaving the video stream as-is. It seems that MP4 files need to have an AAC sound track instead. This isn’t 100% possible when going from MKV to MP4 as most MKV files I’ve encountered, whilst they may have h.264 or MP4 video, they generally have an AC3 (Dolby Digital) sound track.
There are lots of ways you can get from one format to the other, my main requirement is to do container conversion where possible and leave the data stream untouched. The video in the MKV container is MP4, so the PS3 can handle it, but it doesn’t like the container format – it wants an AVI or MP4.
I’ve got a number of videos in Matroska MKV format that I want to play on my PS3.
