you can also use ffmpeg for encoding and muxing in 1step, works fine
for me here.
i encode my videos for ps3 to mp4/h264/aac. it is very important to
set the h.264 to
4.1 thats the limit for the ps3 decoder.
another good solution for you could be handbrake:
http://handbrake.fr/?article=download
there is a gui and a cli version also for ubuntu and it has a build in
ps3 preset. i use it often
here on osx.
good luck
