yes, I have the 'same' pb.

posted :
-----------------------------
I've tested RealMediaSplitter 1.0.0.4 and MatroskaMuxer 1.0.0.6 and MPC doesn't play the mkv.
It worked well with the RealMediaSplitter 1.0.0.3

RealMediaSplitter 1.0.0.3 doesn't work for me as well

what if you use RealMedia instead of DirectShow in MPC for RealVideo?

i would like to use mkv so that it can display dvobsub subs

the special renderer for subtitling does work for me cause using it cause 100% cpu load.

Sirber

I mean in Format selection, "RealMedia" or "DirectShow" for RealVideo and RealAudio.

Why anamorphic RV9 in mkv does not show video is problably something Gabest can answer. Perhaps you should try to ping him over in this thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56940).

Some got video no audio
Some got audio no video
some got none
some got both.

interesting.....:scared:

Could you check their fourcc or waveformat tag when mpc reports them? (and for that you have to change the rendering of real media files to be done through dshow at options/formats)

What did you use to create this file? S_TEXT/ASCII isn't supposed to be used anymore. I could only think you connected ogm's subtitle parser or used a very old build of matroskamuxer.

i just tried the latest mkvmerge tool instead of Dark-Cracker's
directshow wrapper, and it seems to create a 'good' anamorphic RV9
file.

the atest.mkv file, as created by DC's dshow wrapper:
| + Video track
| + Pixel width: 0
| + Pixel height: 856

[mkvinfo]

with mkvmerge:
| + Video track
| + Pixel width: 856
| + Pixel height: 364
| + Display height: 364
| + Display width: 856

So it seems the directshow wrapper method does not work for anamorphic
files. The mkvmerge'd file plays video, but stutters and freezes a few times.

Sirber: Are you sure you are using the latest muxer? Could you check the version number at the file properies in explorer?

karl_lillevold: mkvmerge's demuxer may not recognize those double packed frame types, try to compare the frame listing of rmeditor with what you get in the codec through the dshow filter.

Sirber

MatroskaMuxer.ax: 1.0.0.6
subtitlesource.ax: 1.0.0.1

Without actually checking, that sounds very likely, since the freezes are 100% deterministic and probably a result of such an error in mkvmerge's demuxer.

so I did check, and the mkvmerge'd file has a large number of missing frames, most likely as a result of the demuxer problem Gabest mentioned. This means most files converted from rmvb to mkv using mkvmerge will have missing frames, so this is not a recommended method until this problem is fixed in mkvmerge's demuxer.

Definitely likely that mkvmerge does not handle some streams correctly. Can someone please provide me with (preferably small) sample files which show this behaviour?

I'll ask Gabest how to handle those thingies.

I just downloaded Gabest's latest Matroska Muxer (MatroskaMuxer_20030805.zip) from project Guliverkli and anamorphic RV now works. I used DC's wrapper app to convert my atest file, it now plays just fine in anamorphic mode as an mkv file, and mkvinfo shows the correct information for the Matroska Muxer converted file, and there are no missing frames, like there were for the mkvmerge tool:
| + Video track
| + Pixel width: 704
| + Pixel height: 364
| + Display width: 856
| + Display height: 364
