I’m gonna see if the ps3 will read my upconverted files now. I’m going to make a high quality 480p format and see what happens.

The files that PS3 9 did not convert for me.. xvid4psp did. So I use both now depending on what I want.

This is the one thing I am really disapointed with the PS3. I should be able to use any encoding software to re encode my DVD collection in AVC H.264 format I tied to use nero which comes with a re encode app that will re encode .VOB files instead of having to buy all these other third party apps convert them to .avi just to get a movie file to work. I tried PS3 9 and it did not work all the time either but since it is freeware it will do. I have not herd of xvid4psp so I guess I will give it a shot.

Ooops. by mp4 files I meant MPEG4 encoded video files. My bad.

But just so you know, there ARE other sources of multichannel music. You already mentioned SACD. Some DVD’s have multichannel music, both in the form of videos/concerts and also just straight-up music. (Like Weird Al’s latest album.) Then there’s DVD-Audio of course. But and even earlier source of multichannel music is CD’s encoded with DTS. Yup, they exist, but are rare.
