I grabbed it and added it to the download section. As Ricky stated, for the moment it's Japanese only so unless you can read Japanese you may wish to wait for the English version to be released. If anyone does give it a try, feel free to share your results here! :tup3:

Nice =)

Now i test it. I hope the transcode-speed is fast.

how i must enter after installation? my japan. is very very bad...

can someone translate the GUI into english??

As i read this for the second time a lamp goes on !!!

So we need full access or the full power of the PS3 via OtherOS to realize a project like "PS3 Cluster Hacking" thingy.

So this programm runs on WinXP Machine but could access the whole power of PS3 via OtherOS... ding, ding, ding, ding, ding BooOOooOOooOoOOmMMMM.

I think to hack a Win App will be more easyer than to hack the PS3 itself.

Could you follow what i mean? ;)

cfw I was thinking this when I saw it but I didn't post anything.

I mean if you think about it if you can get a program like this to run over ethernet there's a way. :wow:

There's a way to hack anything, just have to find that hole. :tup:

if i press okay after encode settings i get an error =/ but i cant read it XD

Its still the same situation that with linux, you always has had access to the cell-be and spus, the only thing you cant access its the acceleration of the gpu, and with this app its the same, its only optimized to work more efficiently having more RAM at its disposal etc..

The problem with linux on Ps3 its not lack of power, its lack of custom programs that use the Cell-BE.

Ok but than we now have a option to work on. Even if the program just calls or better use the cell-be we now have a way opened.

Or maybe not.Its hard for me to say it because im not a coder but what i know is that every really good coder will not support the thing we want to have to be done.

But with this program we maybe have a option to moddify and use it for our idee's.

yeah, if this is based on the YDL... have the same kind of acess to the ps3.
could be easyer to do soft in windows maybe... :confused:

otherOS is not ps3OS, so no internal kernel. it's my 2cents.
see ya

i think is a great utility for ps3.. slowly we have more of them!! :)

I like your idea, it could work really well.

thank for the guide, speed testing now.

Hello Everyone,

Well I installed the program on the PC, entered the license key, and now I am stuck at the black codecsys splash screen. I have tried all the buttons across the bottom, but can't find the combination. Any help?

Well after thorough testing, the speed is indeed realtime. I am truly amazed. Now for the bad :( Despite my best efforts, I can't seem to adjust the resolution it's encoding to something smaller than my source...

This is really interesting. Though unless they sell it at a competitive price point I think cuda still offers the most cost effective solution. We'll see. Also quick question. Is the software for windows in Japaneses too or just the ps3 utility?

i tried and but i have some little problem with that japanese language.

Edit: Ahh ok, see there is an engl. tut. :D

this is perfect for me, i was looking for a way to compress the recordings that playTV makes, they are huge, with this i think i could compress them alot while keeping the quality :D

Is it possible to encode video into any format other than H.264 ? If so which codecs are avalible?

http://codecsys.fixstars.com/ja/support/ce10/manuals/index.html

Good luck if you can read Japanese.

My Japanese is a little rusty can someone please let me know what I need to do at this screen?

If you want english GUI, change the Culture registry key from ja-JP to en-US under CodecSYS CE-10 and the GUI changes to english. Help stays japanese.

Well i got it working in english using the above reg hack. Over all its Pretty dissapointing , i had hoped to rencode all my movies using the program but it wont accept any of my video files as the are neither uncompressed avi nor MPEG. It really is annoying that it wont rencode divix files. Just have to stick to super video encoder unless anyone knows how to add extra codecs for video input.

By the way the key is located at:

"computer\hkey_current_user\software\fixstars\codecsys ce-10\culture"

Try to adjust the frame rate. I had the same problem, but I needed to set the frame rate from 29.9 to 25 (PAL source). After this, it works, also with divx.

But I have problem, with the audio track. I have ac3 in my divx-es and cannot convert to AAC.

i recompresed only 7min27sec with codec and make 8fps per second i think trial have some locks, anyway it took me 2h to instal Japan version and worked fine.

Any idea does have any limitation on trial ?

Hi all!

Started the accellerator on PS3. Started the software on PC and now i have the black splash screen on my monitor. It say: connecting to playstation 3...!

Im waiting about 30 min and still nothing! Any suggestion for solving this problem?

Sorry for my english!

Try to open firewall and use direct connection pc to PS3..

Hi!

My firewall is off, and i use direct connection!

Great stuff, no HIGH DEF TV Streams can be viewed on Playstation without having a HIGH Def Sat reciever for example! Sweet!

Footylad

Thanks for all the details! I have been eagerly waiting on this to come out because I have some mkv files that I want to transcode for play on my PS3, and if I did it with my personal computer it would take about 3 days (no exaggeration!) Has there been any word as to when the English version will be released?

Would probably be better if we somehow figured out how to mod the open source x264 encoder to use cell threads. Just my two cents :)

If I can get this working it will be a god send to anyone with old mkv files with too many reference frames, frustrating me to hell at the moment. Seems to be every other file i get at the moment arrgghh!!

Simply Amazing. :p After working out the bugs, it performs better than expected. I was able to encode a .m2v taken from a dvd that was 1hr45mins in about 35 minutes.

Remuxed the AC3 track, and all is good. If more formats can be supported, and different audio options the future looks bright!

Hello Guys,

i have a problem when i encode my avi file than i have just 2 fps is there any limition ?

and the other question is, i must have Gigabit Ethernet or i can use Megabit ?

I can only answer the last one.

You can use "megabit" but the conversion will be slower due to your small network "pipe" (line) between your pc and your ps3. In order for the conversion to go as quick as possible, you need to be on a Gigabit network. Gigabit will shuffle the data quicker between both machines and will make your conversion go as fast as it can.

Hello urbanracer34,

Thanks for the answer.

But somebody know why i have the limitation of 2 FPS ?

Those of you that are looking to convert mkv files, you will first need to put them through mkv2vob to change to .mpg container.
But the video will have to be 1080/720 and not cropped as i have failed to load any that have been.
It is also very fast at encoding.

Well i have tried changing the frame rate but no matter what i do the program always says " the specified input file is invalid " . Hope the full version works better.

Hello Guys,

I have an answer from the fixstars support i had a problem with the fps so i emailed the support:

for all that have FPS problems:

Alrighty, gonna give this a go. Yes, a nice x264 like version of this would be neat as well. I just hope this will be just as good quality wise.

I know this is a little bit late but I have been busy and not paying attention to posts as much, and I missed this one. Here is a proper translation of the trial download page:



I hope this helps.

Here is another additional translation for the hardware and installation pages:

Corrections are welcome, just lemme know.

For those who are using this, it appears there is a schedule for updates since the initial release located here: http://codecsys.fixstars.com/ja/support/ce10/releases.html

Attached below is a rough translation.. still no indication of an English release:

If by any chance anyone is wondering what "ENKODAKOAAPPUDETO" is, it just means "Encoder Core Update".

Hi!
