Great to see this kind of thing. The hard part, however, is how to get your movie to your TV.
The PS3 supports many of these codecs now, including 60hz, 50hz (European encodes at 25fps) and 24fps. Sony needs to get off their butts and advertise this more thoroughly. If Samsung gets props, the PS3 would too.
More to the point, though, the PS3 only supports FAT32 on external drives. Meaning 4GB limit (there is a workaround for playing > 4GB, which is almost everything in HD, but c'mon, lame). The best way to get video to the PS3 is via UPNP streaming, though that requires Ethernet.
So while these codecs are great, getting said codec to the device is the hardest part.

True enough, so that's what makes a NMT, like a Popcorn Hour A-110, so useful.

Samsung TV's already have an ethernet connection in them.
I thought MTS and M2TS were the same thing, you could just change the extension and it would play?
New Samsung TV's to support bluray quality video, with 2 channel audio out of its internal speakers. YAY, NOT! Its nice to see more things support MKV. I want that container to go mainstream. Come on windows 7. Support it out of the box.

There's a 8 byte difference per packet between TS and M2TS, so it's more than just changing the extension.
The PS3 also needs support for mkv. That's their one missing container.
