MKVToolNix v24.0.0 released

[GuilhermeAraujo]

Interesting. I didn't know about this compression stuff.
However, I had a 3.81 GB file, then compressed every stream, and got a 3.82 GB!

And I found a bug:
I dragged a file which contain a Title (Segment information > Title, on Header Editor). Then I removed that file, leaving the list empty. Then added more files and muxed.
The title was kept. I believe it was supposed to be removed along with the first file, right?

Don't. Compressing an already compressed stream only makes it worse. There are exceptions, but they are few (e.g. you can usually gain a few bytes compressing MP3 files with RAR). Just let mkvmerge chose what it thinks is best.

That's not a bug but intentional. What you may want is "File -> New". Removing all input files is NOT supposed to clear everything else.

[GuilhermeAraujo]

Oh. I didn't know that file was already compressed. That makes sense now.

I see.

[Adub]

It's already compressed if it uses a codec, like X264 or Xvid. Which is the case for about 99.999% of video files.

Today I used the version 4.1.0 and the result was a mkv with audio mute.
Again tested with versions 4.0.0 and .3.2.0 and audio came back...

Have there been any changes to the vobsub muxer lately? With 4.0 my media players do not display vobsubs in 1080p anymore. Tracks get recognized, but no subpictures shown.
PC playback still works as usual.

However, same files muxed with 3.2 and everything works fine.

Same Problem with 4.1 now. Any ideas?

[SamuriHL]

I just remuxed some stuff with 4.1 and I'm not seeing an audio mute problem. Everything seems fine for me. I'm simply adding PGS subs from a file back into my MKV's so it's taking an existing one, adding PGS subs to it, and writing it back out. No problems.

Please read http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkv...al_compression for an explanation and file a bug report with the vendor(s) of the software/hardware you use for playback (and the demuxer if its separate from the player).

[soneca]

Mosu,

You are right, it was a failure KMPlayer but already been resolved by changing the settings.


Thanks!

Hi,

I've installed an Ubuntu package from http://www.bunkus.org/ubuntu/lucid/binary/i386/ and I can't change the GUI's language. It's always English no matter what i select.

Probably because you don't have the locales compiled for the language you're trying to use. Please paste/tell me:

1. the output of the "locale" command,

2. which language you're trying to use,

3. the output of "cat /var/lib/locales/supported.d/*"

hi mosu

thanks for this great upgrade

""...
2010-06-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for reading PGS subtitles from PGS/SUP files.
..."

this new feature helps me to keep the original bluray.sup's.

I demux a bluray ever with eac3to and i get the sup files with the name of the language like this:
"00019 - 15 - Subtitle (PGS), German, 1685 captions.sup"

when i insert the file to the gui i must select the language manually. It would be nice that the language set automaticly.

hubble

[GuilhermeAraujo]

Reading info from file name? Yes, would be very interesting. Language and delay.

[LeMoi]

AFAIK delay is already read from filename (at least for audio files), see options.

[Mosu]

Hey,

I've released mkvtoolnix v4.1.1 just two days after v4.1.0 due to a serious bug introduced in v4.1.0. If causes mkvmerge to crash with default option in various circumstances, especially when handling MPEG-4 part 2 video tracks.

There are no changes for package maintainers in this release.

Here are the usual links...

...to the home page:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/

...to the source code:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkv...-4.1.1.tar.bz2

...to the Windows installer and 7zip archive:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkv....1.1-setup.exe
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkv...icode-4.1.1.7z

All binaries that I provide myself have already been uploaded.

Here's the full ChangeLog since release 4.1.0:

------------------------------------------------------------
2010-07-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v4.1.1.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed invalid memory access in the header removal compressor. Fix for bug 508.
* mmg: bug fix: mmg will no longer add .mmg files opened by the job runner to the file menu's list of recently opened files. Fix for bug 509.
------------------------------------------------------------

Have fun.

Cool. I'm gonna make some tests :P

[johnsonlam]

I got this message frequently, and MMG stopped, how to solve the problem?

"Compression failed: Header removal compression not possible because the buffer contained 1 bytes which is less than the size of the headers that should be removed, 3."

Thanks.

Force compression to 'none' for the problematic track. Also I'd like to know how what files and tracks you were muxing. If possible could you upload them to my FTP server? This should not happen, and I'd like to know the reason for it and to fix it.

The lenght, 3, lets me guess that it's a MPEG-4 part 2 video track that's causing the problem.

[woah!]

i dont know why/how but since 4.1.0 or 4.1.1 any mkv i make doesnt play sound on my wd hd live media player. remuxing exact same mkv made with 4.1.0,but using 4.0.0 and plays correctly on the media player?

just a heads up if people ever have an issue like this...
