Playstation 3 compressor settings for h.264/mp4 and avchd and 5.1 audio
Hello this is my first post on this forum. I am a cameraman by trade, but do a lot of editing. I am pretty good on an Avid and with color correction software, but since I sold my sony f900 and picked up a couple or RED cameras - I was forced to hop on the FCP studio2 wagon. So I apologize for the newbie questions.
I have a PS3 and not a PSP. I find more and more clients have a PS3 for their media and blu-ray... etc. So my question is what are the settings for compressor to encode for the PS3 and there ever so nit picky and poorly documented parameters.
There are plenty of non-pro answers, but I have searched high and low for what they need specifically. I see lots of questions but now answers.
So how can I take my final cut footage or any video file for that matter, and put it into something that my PS3 can chew? What are the H.264 (mpeg4) settings?
Can I also (but not exclusively) encode in AVCHD from compressor?
Lastly is there a way to put on the 5.1 or surround info into these files for PS3 playback? if I want to take one of my work DVD's (reel, projects, etc) and put it on the PS3 or bring in surround encoded (5.1, 6.1, 7.1) tracks into FCP and put it with my footage?
Thanks for any and all help...

the only vaguely technical info I have found was on the PS3 forum, here is what it says:

For those of you who want to put .MP4 videos on a PS3 with a Macintosh, this is how you do it with ffmpegx.
VIDEO
- X264 Encoding
- framesize can be any
- framerate can be any
AUDIO
- any MP3 or AAC track
OPTIONS
- Use CABAC on
- Constant bitrate on
- Trellis on
- Decode with Quicktime (not always necessary but if your picture is out of sync with audio, try this)
- AVC level 3.0
This produces a good .MP4 file that the PS3 will happily play.

Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? if not can we figure it out on this thread? there are a lot of questions I find when I google this subject out there - so a lot of people would be happy to find the answer.
