problem about mkvmerge

[h9903209]

I'm using mkvmerge to convert ogm to mkv which is convenient. But I find that if the filename has space within, it fails to do so. Is there any way to make it work? thx for help.

Is it under Windows or Linux ?
Also please note that Mosu is not a regular here. So if there is a problem, contact him by email.

If under windows, you are making sure that your typing the filename with quotes (") around the name aren't you? Otherwise its windows thats not passing the filename correct, not mkvmerge thats making the mistake.

Nic already said it, but here's a short example that's valid for all systems that mkvmerge runs on:

mkvmerge -o "out put with many spaces.mkv" "a source file with some spaces in it.ogm"

If you omit the " (or ' in Unix like shells) then mkvmerge sees all parts of the words as an argument each - and it would try to open "put", "with", "many" etc as input files.

This is the normal behaviour of a shell/command line interpreter.
