It works! Mkv2Vob in Linux

After a long time of trying to find a solution on how to play .mkv(x.264) on my PS3 when I'm running GNU/Linux on my main computer, Ive finally stumbled upon the solution. As many already know, for Windows there's already an application called mkv2vob and earlier it didn't seem to want to work well on GNU/Linux when run under wine. So the temporary solution has been to either dual-boot with Windows or run a virtual Windows through VirtualBox/VMserver or do the conversion by hand in CLI.

Now however its possible to run mkv2vob through wine following these few easy steps:

  1. Install the latest version of Wine
  2. Open terminal: wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
  3. sh winetricks vb6run wsh56
  4. wget http://www.3r1c.eu/mkv2vob/mkv2vob.exe
  5. wine mkv2vob.exe INSTALLDIR="C:\\mkv2vob"
  6. Your all set, enjoy!
