Easy and Fast h264 .MKV to PS3 and XBOX 360 compatible MP4 and PS3 compatible M2TS/AC3 conversion.
recoding to Xvid, mpeg2 and compatible h264 (with hardcoded subtitles) is also supported.
beta release V0.24b1
Includes WMV (vc1) and MKV -> AVCHD conversion for PS3 and stand-alone Blu-ray players.
GOTSent 0.23 is released.
Major fixes, added Xvid and H264 recoding, better subs/audio support, some updated tooling, VC1 extraction and WMA-pro to WMAv2 conversion (wmv re-muxing to AVCHD is in 0.24), upgraded splitting, removed mp4 meta naming due to odd issues with rare files.
Open the config to edit h264 encoding options, pass a file or a folder as an argument for command line encoding, and many more additions.
Please note that in the current PS3 firmware (2.40) AC3 5.1 is working correctly again in Xvid files. Besides that, the 2.40 firmware also brings block and frame noise reduction to Xvid files on PS3.
Note for 360 users: If you are recoding, it is best for Xbox 360 users to recode to Xvid. It is not as fast in recoding as mpeg2, but it is better quality, and it is playable through every media server. Mpeg2 requires the 360 Media Center Extender to be playable.
If you recode to h264, the normal selected output format (mp4 or m2ts) will be generated with a playable video file.
beta 11:
Hard subs in mpeg2 files are now supported. Make sure your subtitle files are in UTF8 format if you use special characters.
(open the subtitle file in notepad, select save as, and select 'UTF8' under the encoding option.)
If you are running VISTA, please 'run as administrator'. Since beta 10, Vista64 and Windows Server 2008 should work as well.
News:
A German support site for GOTSent is available on Evo-X Many thanks :)
And I'd like to finish with a thank you for all people providing feedback, suggestions and help, in particular to Ditlew: Thanks man, you're a great help and motivation and your h264 checker rocks :)
Currently work is being done to stabilize the release, fix some filename bugs (very long/odd names cause issues), detect vc1 encoded files (at least notify users that it is not supported yet), and hard-subbing files.
troubleshooting & common errors
If things still don't work, just send a mail to sentry23@gmail.comand we'll figure out a way to get it running as it should., or use it to improve/fix/renovate the program. It's a lot faster then waiting in the forums for me to come by ;)
Make sure you have installed the AC3Filter, Haali Media splitter and, for PS3 users, that your firmware version is at least 1.82, and for Xbox 360 users the 2007 spring update.
You can download the filters from the following links:
Nero is not required, but gives a boost to the audio quality, if you put the neroaacenc exe's in the same directory as GOTSent.

Thanks to all people who have donated so far.
Well, some things are always welcome, like for
instance a Playstation Home Beta account, a membership of the Little Big Planet beta, PSN games , an XBOX 360 for better compatibility testing, or a guided tour around the Guerrilla studios ;)
Paypal might be easier though:
PS3 games and Blu-ray discs are also very much appreciated, but contact me for shipping details. (hey, it's worth a try ;) )
