Fansub playback on PS3
Ok, I have a PS3 on which i would like to Playback anime Xvid/h264 fansubs.
Thing is, the PS3 does not support the MKV Container or the Xvid Codec. I've figured out that the quickest solution would be to convert the fansubs to wmv or VC-1. The problem arises that encoders like VideoLAN and Windows Media Encoder produce some sloppy transcodes. There is a lot of quality loss that occurs transcoding from Xvid and h264 into VC-1/WMV. Is there anyway to losslessly transcode Xvid and MKV files into WMV/VC-1 without a loss in quality? |

XviD and DivX are very similar. So the PS3 should play XviD (in AVI) fine, with the exception of most Dattebayo (DB) releases.
If the MKV you want to play is simply XviD+MP3 with hardcoded subs inside a MKV container, you could convert it back to AVI, in theory. Otherwise use a tool like PS3Video9, which will cause some loss of quality. |

4 was missing several rpm's needed to get media playing correctly. You would think that they would have pre loaded at least one media player in the distro, considering it was made for a media proccessing machine after all. |

Just a correction, Yellow Dog Linux was actually made for running on Apple's "Power" processors (RISC processors as opposed to the x86 processors that we're all using now). As you could probably imagine it didn't receive terribly huge usage as Mac users were a slim minority, and even fewer of them were willing to ditch Mac OS for Linux. I'm not sure if Cell processors are RISC-based but since they were deveped by IBM, the same makers of the Power processors, it wouldn't surprise me. Thus Yellow Dog Linux is relatively easily ported over to Cell-based systems, such as the PS3.
I'd imagine they'll be tweaking it toward the PS3 as the number of Power-based Mac users declines, but as of now it isn't an OS made strictly for a multimedia machine
