Matroska Stream Editor

[Atamido]

Here is a new program to manipulate any type of stream in a Matroska file. (Cut, append, time-shift, etc) It is free for non-commercial use. Right now the current feature set is complete. I am looking for help in finding bugs in it. So, without further wait, here is the Matroska Stream Editor (http://www.jkfanclub.com:81/MatroskaStreamEditor_v1.0.zip).

Sorry to say but the download link doesn't work for me...

[zulu]

it's working fine for me

[filewalker]

Strange!

I tried it again with my Opera 7.20 browser and with Internet Explorer and the only message I always get is:
"ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved"

My web server is running off of port 81, instead of the normal port 80. If you have any sort of firewall/proxy set up, it might interfere.

Other than downloading, is anyone experiencing any issues with it?

append? woot
/me is dancing the happy dance
I'm going to try my mad VFR mkv thing.:D
"intro @24fps, opening @30fps, episode @24fps, ending @30fps, outtro @24 fps" will be so good ;)

Hi,

i felt free to build a mirror :D *klick* (http://mitglied.lycos.de/dummdidumm/matroskastreameditor_rc6.zip)

One experience that I thought I would mention:

I created a file with a 10 second gap in the middle where there wasn't anything. When I went to play it back, Directshow played it back without a gap. I checked the created file with MKVInfo, and it had been written correctly. So, if you make a file with a gap in it, apparently DirectShow will ignore the gap.

@Balm: Thanks! :)

[Atamido]

If noone has seen any bugs, then I will rename it as version 1.0 and call it good.

[Atamido]

Edit: For some reason changing the name b0rked it, just use RC6.

Okay, its been changed to version 1. There isn't any functional difference except that this exe isn't compressed with UPX. Also, for Sirber's benefit, here is a 7zip link. (724KB vs 865KB) Matroska Stream Editor v1 (http://www.jkfanclub.com:81/MatroskaStreamEditor_v1.0.zip)

edit: Someone pointed out that a newer version of 7-Zip was available. I made a self extracting archive with it that is 9KB smaller than the other one. (715KB)

[jjseth]

Thank you for this tool.
Only a question, after the multiplexing with VirtualDubMod i add the attachments with MatroskaStreamEditor. But in the mkv final file the chapter division created with VDM is missed.
Can you add in the next version a utilitie for add/edit chapters?
Sorry my poor english.

[satori]

I D/L Matroska Stream Editor.But It can't open any my mkv files,which made by mkvtoolnix 0.7.1
Do I need some more .dll?

[Atamido]

What happens when you try to?

[satori]

Log Like this...
I can't parsing any mkv files I have.

Status: Parsed D:\Video\video_divx5_aac.mkv for 0ms
Status: Parsed D:\Video\video_rv9_mp3.mkv for 0ms
Status: Parsed D:\Video\video_wmv9.mkv for 0ms

[Atamido]

Gah! The compile is b0rked! I'll fix this shortly. Please use the RC6 (http://www.jkfanclub.com:81/matroskastreameditor_rc6.zip) file for the time being.

[satori]

Thanks!.
I can open now!

[zedude]

so rc6 is final version ?
thanks pamel, really nice and usefull tool and it works perfectly !!

[Atamido]

Yes, RC6 is the final version. There are still a few little bugs, but they are not big enough for me to do anything about. Just don't try to append more than two tracks at once onto each other. :p

[Atamido]

Nevermind. Here (http://www.jkfanclub.com:81/MatroskaStreamEditor_v1.0.zip) is a new version of the Matroska stream editor that supports reading the new lacing method.

[Atamido]

For anyone that is interested, the source for this has been openned in a project on CoreCodec.org. No new code, but different place to download.

[ashyak]

Hi,


all links are down :rolleyes:
I hope this project is not dead.


...cya

[Atamido]

It hasn't been worked on in a very long time unfortunately. A binary download can be gotten from here (http://files.commo.de/MatroskaStreamEditor_v1.0.zip) and the sources can be downloaded from here. (http://files.commo.de/MatroskaStreamEditor-src.7z)

[Atamido]

Actually, I'm going to try and set up a Corecodec project so that people could fix the bugs if they like. I'll post here when its done.

[Atamido]

Done. The project has been set back up.

Why no AVI input?

[celtic_druid]

Why no AVI input for something called Matroska Stream editor? Maybe because it is called Matroska Stream Editor and it edits matroska streams.

[Cyberman]

Well, the name doesn´t say "Matroska only - Stream Editor" - I took it the name meant it´s going to OUTPUT MKV files, not that it´d be the only possible input.

After all, Matroska may be great, but it´s not yet widespread enough to have any file in MKV already.
I like to create the files in VDub, and THEN would join them to MKV to get a VFR file.
So I have to create an MKV out of the AVI first.
(Or use VDubMod, which I don´t really like)

[filewalker]

@Cyberman

As the name " Matroska Stream Editor" says, it can edit Matroska streams (and not AVI streams).;)

For muxing an AVI video and audio- and subtitle streams to MKV you can (it's recommended) use MKVMerge from Mosu...an excellent tool, too.

[Cyberman]

I use MKVToolnix(MMG to precise), the point is it´s rather wearisome to first create a file, convert it to MKV and then use another program to join them.

I was/am trying to use MSE as a means to get VFR MKV files. Maybe I´m trying the wrong tool.

[Atamido]

The Matroska Stream Editor was essentially a concept project. It is designed to be a basic way to handle stream data in Matroska files independent of their content. It handles Video, Audio, Subtitles, or whatever else you put into a stream in an identical manner. It doesn't actually understand anything as complex as AAC, MPEG4, or whatever else. If it is already in a Matroska file, then it will just handle it. (For instance it will let you append video data to an audio track. You couldn't play back video data with an audio codec, but it will let you do this.) Things like "framerate" mean nothing to this program. It doesn't care if there are 10 minutes between two of the video frames, or audio frames for that matter.

That part of it was a blazing success. It proved that you could have an editor that allowed you to edit files without having to have any understanding of the content of those files. It also shows the benefits of storing all stream data at the container level. Adding AVI support would be pointless, if not impossible.

Perhaps someday it will be used as a type of diagram for a new general editor based on GStreamer?
