I am stuck on this issue for nearly a year now

I have converted a number of my movies to h264 with both x264 and nero recode.
Streaming the video (only) over wireless to my PS3 i have no problems.

I have converted the sounds tracks to AAC using foobar2000 + Nero AAC encoder.
Streaming music albums made this way over wireless to my PS i have no problems.

When I mux the AAC (2 or 5.1) with h264 using any number of muxing problems, i have problems streaming to the PS3 over wireless. I know there is no network problem because if a mux the video with mp3 or create an m2ts with h264 + AC3 it streams over wireless no problem.

I have tried using Nero Recode for both the Video+Audio with the same results.

Oddly, these MP4s made with x264 video and nero aac audio or nero video + aac and muxed with mp4box or mp4creator, etc all play if the file is copied to the PS3 with no problems.

It is only when streaming the MP4 (video+aac) there is a problem.

Basically, the stream continually stops and starts.

I was hoping someone might know if i need to make any special settings for the AAC when it is to be muxed with video or something.

thanks

Have you tried hinting the tracks? Might help when streaming.

I have tried everything. i.e. ABR, VBR, CBR (foobar2000 says use this for streaming).
I have tried lowering the bit rate.

I even tried using the winamp aac encoder.

It seems there is some incompatibility with the PS3 and streaming AAC when packaged with video.
audio only is fine.

Have you tried streaming the content over a wired network? You keep saying wireless so that is why I ask. Also, what are you using to stream the video? Make sure that it isn't transcoding the video on-the-fly while streaming. Nero's streaming application and TVersity can both transcode the video on-the-fly while streaming.

I've had no problems so I think the problem is your end.

And this is what I think is probably your problem too.

I've made up a short clip (21 seconds. Size is 6.5MB) from a movie trailer off the Apple website. MP4Box info:


That clip works on my setup being streamed over wireless to the PS3. If that works then the problem may lie elsewhere...

I got the same problem with your file.

I have since upgraded my wireless network to 802.11n and i can stream HD to other devices from TVersity with no problems.

Now i am sure it is the PS3 and/or firmware, because if i use a wired connection from the PS3 to the router and still use a wireless connection between the router and the PC, i have no problems streaming a HD MP4 file with AAC.

I will try Nero's new build of the encoder and see if these new AAC tracks works any better, but i doubt it.

cheers

You know that if you wirelessly connect both the PS3 and the computer and the PS3 receives the content like so:
You're bringing down the overall wireless quite a bit.

If you can, I'd try connecting in the computer via wire to the router then wirelessly connect the PS3. If that isn't possible, I guess a workaround might be using two different routers on separate wireless channels kinda like:
