mkvtoolnix: new version

New releases will be announced by replying to this thread. The current version is 0.7.2. Look for it on the last page of this thread.

Hi.

I'd like to use this thread to announce any new version I'll release. Bugreports are welcome here as well - although I still prefer to get them via Email

Today I'll start with release 0.4.4. Here's the ChangeLog since 0.4.3:

2003-06-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Several options now need an explicity track ID to specify which tracks of an input file the option should be applied to. These options include --atracks, --vtracks, --stracks, --sync, --default-track, --cues and --language.
* The Matroska reader now handles track selection correctly.
2003-06-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Added an option for identifying input files and their track types.

This release breaks the old syntax for the options mentioned above. This is especially important for any GUI which might use mkvmerge. On the other hand the new syntax is much more flexible than the old one - these options do not apply to all tracks in a file anymore but to only one specific track (you can still use -1 as the track ID and hit all tracks). For details read the man page/HTML documentation.

A note to the Windows users: Several people have reported crashes in the AVI reader on non-Windows-XP systems. Unfortunately I don't have access to any Win2k/Win98 machines at the moment, neither do I have a spare hard drive on which to install it. Needless to say that mkvmerge works fine for such files on both Windows XP AND Linux So please be patient with me until I've found a solution. Thanks.

Yay! I did a distupgrade today and noticed this being updated. Thanks for the hard work you've put into it!

hi there mosu, i dont know if this is a error of the AVI reader but this is what i got with the win version:

Opened 'd:\test.mkv' for writing.
progress: 33801/33801 frames (100%)
Writing cue entries (the index)...
7 [main] mkvmerge 1372 handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
1510 [main] mkvmerge 1372 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to mkvmerge.exe.stackdump

and it created mkvmerge.exe.stackdump which is 2k long, but strangely the mkv file created works ok, here's the command i used:
Code:
mkvmerge --output d:\test.mkv --cues 0:iframes --noaudio d:\test.avi --cues 1:none --language 1:jpn --novideo d:\test.avi

That's the error I was talking about in the first post. I've installed VMware and Win98 under VMware, but it's slow as hell on my Celeron 733, so don't expect a fix too soon :/

mkvmerge --output d:\test.mkv --cues 0:iframes --noaudio d:\test.avi --cues 1:none --language 1:jpn --novideo d:\test.avi
Please note that exactly these cues options are the defaults anyway. Stating from http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkv.../mkvmerge.html : "The default is iframes for video tracks and none for all others." Just to shorten your command line a bit

yeah, Pamel told me that on another post, but i was just testing it
good thing is that it's working even with that error, so a fix isn't needed soon

mkvtoolnix 0.5.0 released

Hi guys.

Time for another release. There have been a lot of changes since the last week. One thing I'd really like you to try is to run mkvmerge under Windows 98/Windows 2000. Several people reported problems and I'm eager to know if the switch from cygwin to mingw32 solved this problem.

The release is available at

http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/

Windows binaries:

http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkv...lnix-0.5.0.zip
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkv...ix-runtime.zip

Ok, here's the ChangeLog since the last version:

-----------------------
2003-06-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* Released v0.5.0.

* Added 'ReferencePriority' element to the known elements for mkvinfo.

* Removed "(mkvinfo) " from mkvinfo's output in order to improve readability and save space.

* --sub-charset now also needs a track ID.

* Modified the verbosity levels for mkvinfo: The seek head subentries and cue subentries will only be shown at level 2 to make the output easier to read.

* The language and default track settings are now kept again if not overridden when reading from Matroska files.

2003-06-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* Added mkvextract which can extract tracks from a Matroska file into other files.

2003-06-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* Switched from cygwin to MinGW32 for the Windows binaries.

* Fixed a double free() on cleanup (after writing the cues) which resulted in a segfault sometimes.

* Added a SSA/ASS reader.

2003-06-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* Support for reading text subtitles from Matroska files.

* Made the AAC reader automatically recognize if a MPEG4 AAC file contains the emphasis header (deprecated) or not (current standard).
--------------------

Comments, bugreports and stuff is welcome as always

Thanks for the feedback, guys. So it was probably due to some cygwin specific stuff - and I'm just happy that it builds with mingw now.

Happy merging

Quote:
mkvmerge --output "d:\test.mkv" d:\video.avi --language 0:jpn "d:\Audio1.aac" --language 0:jpn --sync 0:-37 "d:\Audio2-DELAY -37ms.AC3" --language 0:eng d:\subs1.srt --language 0:eng d:\subs.ssa

Hmm. Ok, please try to leave out the aac track and see if that changes anything. As I've said I've rewritten the AAC parser, and it may very well be buggy.

If this does not help then try to find the file that mkvmerge chokes on by leaving out a single file each time. Please tell me the results.

If it is the AAC file could you then please send me the first 4megs of that file? Any file splitter will do, I don't care if the end of the file is borked. Please upload that file via FTP to mosu.no-ip.com, username upload, password only.

Thanks for your help

Errrr..... The GUI hasn't been updated yet for the new command set. Don't use it yet for the new mkvtoolnix.

Excellent results

Worked like a charm under WinXP muxing 2 ogg tracks, 1 xvid and ssa subs resulting in 1.2g file split into 700m and 500m.

Looking forward to chapters in mkv

hey mosu, just tested one by one and the problem was in the ssa sub
all the others (including the aac track, do you still want me to send it to you?) would mux together without any problem. It seems that the ssa file that i created with subrip converting from the srt is incompatible with mkvmerge, i tried converting it to uft-8 and unicode formats but it didnt help. i couldn't even mux only the video and the ssa file, maybe there's something wrong with my command line
angelyote how did you mux it and what program did you use to create the ssa file?

tia
