hi,

i've been trying for a few days to figure out, why the bandwith limit is exceeded everytime I stream a file to my ps3.

I am streaming over wifi with a maximal bandwith of about 25 mbps. Unfortunately, my files (720p-mkv's) keep stuttering at high-action-scenes. i tried these things:
- set almost any quality parameters (even keyint=25:vqmax=8:vqmin=3)
- set bandwidth limit to 20 mbps (still peaks of 30-50 mbps)
- change encoder (mencoder to ffmpeg)
- increase buffer to 400 MB

processor i5-3570 @ 3.40-3.80 GHz
os Win7 64bit
RAM 8 GB

even with bandwidth limit set to 10 mbps it keeps peaking.

Anyone a clue, what else I could do?

It's possible that the files are being muxed instead of transcoded. Try disabling the "remux videos with tsmuxer" option

Thanks. That did the trick!

Great, thanks for replying. Which files were the ones giving problems? I wouldn't have thought that normal 720p mkv files (ones from popular torrents for example) would have bitrates high enough for that
