<p>The PS3 is very picky on what it plays and what not. I had the same problem as you (again with an OpenShot video)</p>

<p>Solutions </p>

<p>1)Use <a href="http://www.ps3mediaserver.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ps3mediaserver.org/</a> that automatically transcodes to formats for PS3</p>

<p>2)Convert your existing video to PS3 format with <a href="https://handbrake.fr/" rel="nofollow">https://handbrake.fr/</a></p>

<p>i have edited a video with Open Shot. However when exporting and trying to watch via PS3 the results end up unsatisfying.</p>

<p>I managed to figure out that the video is displayed fine as MP4 with libx264 Codec but i cannot get audio right. Neither aac nor ac3 codec produce satisfying results. Although sound is played it sounds really annoying, to me like the bass is completely broken. I use the highest quality, 2 Channels and a sampling rate of 48000. </p>

<p>Can anybody help me to get a satisfying result?</p>

<p>BTW VLC Player has no problems with neither of the setups i used for PS3.</p>

The PS3 doesn't alter your video (to be precise: it can't alter your video). What's more likely the problem is an incorrect configuration of your TV/monitor which results in faulty downsampling.

Okay thanks for the comment. I'll take a look. But initially i had the problem that either video or audio wasn't playing at all and using forward/backward didn't work. So i thought i had a problem with the codecs used. Btw Windows Media Player couldn't play it as well.
