to my knowledge a .m4a file from itunes is just a .mp4 file with changed extension (to be able to distinguish audio from video files) nothing less, nothing more
i think it would be better to tell everyone to rename their m4a files to mp4 instead of supporting it, we must get rid of this ugly, apple self-made extension

(1) mp4UI 0.9.5 can extract AAC (ADTS) from aac files created by PsyTEL, QcuikTime, Nero, FAAC. (2) mp4UI 0.9.5 can NOT extract AAC (ADTS) from aac files created by iTuens. Now, I think this is mp4UI's problem. I found that iTunes' files do have ADTS headers (periodical FF F1 [or FF F9 for MPEG-2 AAC]...), tho the period seems longer than usual. Plus, mp4creator60 0.9.8 can extract AAC from iTunes' file. So they are "normal" after all. That's it. Sorry for the mess. Just extended filemask for "m4a" would be enough. Quote:
As a side note, "m4a" was once proposed for "Matroska for Audio" which is now called "MKA"... It was obvious that Matroska couldn't use it, because it was already treated as an extension for MPEG-4 Audio back then. |

which encoding for --title?
1. Question about mkvmerge:
I'd like to use --title "Title not in English" and am wondering which encoding I can use for "Title not in English" For instance, would this work? (I'm afraid I don't think so) @rem .bat in UTF8 mkvmerge -o out.mkv in.mkv --title "Something in UTF8" 2. I think I can use a chapters in UTF-8, but mkvinfo 0.7.2 cannot read it so nicely. For instance, mkvinfo chapter_in_japanese.mkv > test.txt gave me something like this: |+ Chapters | + Edition entry | + Chapter atom | + UID: 3967978330 | + Start: 00:00:00.000 | + Display | + String: oooooooooFOURCC | + Language: jpn Where "ooooooooo" is a correct (but incomplete) part of the string, and "FOURCC" is not a part of the string, but a buggy output. |

Mkvextract gets the chapter info correctly, so I believe muxing is ok, and it's just a small problem in mkvinfo (hope so) Here's a pic to show what i mean: http://mion.wisnet.ne.jp/mkvinfo.png |

Anyway, I've added a new option, '--command-line-charset'. With it you can set the charset that is used in the conversion to UTF-8 for strings given on the command line. It applies to the '--title' (mmg: "segment title", global tab), '--track-name' (mmg: "track name", input tab) and '--attachment-description' options. It can be set in mmg on the global tab. This way you can have your batch file in UTF-8 like this: Code:
@rem .bat in UTF-8 mkvmerge -o output.mkv input.avi --title 'something with UTF-8 coded characters' --command-line-charset UTF-8 If you want to give it a try then download http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkv...20031025-2.rar Thanks (Note to the others: Yes, this version does contain full support for VobSubs Although there's still no filter for Windows that can handle them.)

That's really the only thing why I don't move from OGM to MKV, the vobsub-inside-mkv would be nice too, but external subs are working as well, whereas audio-stream-names are NOT working at all. Since MKV supports chapter-jumps to not-key-frames - impossible with OGM - I would really like to switch, so please check this audio-stream-problem ASAP. Thanks Raist |

Copied from IRC :
<ChristianHJW> Toff : http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...623#post390623 <Toff> i already updated the filter for that <Toff> (even if there is a bug ) <Toff> (which is fixed here, but not yet sent to Gabest) * Animaniac has joined #matroska <ChristianHJW> Toff : tell him ... he may make his next rip in MKV already ... one saved soul .... |

because the string is not abcdefg but ab(U+FF41 U+FF42)... anyway the first problem is not fixed in this newest beta, as long as I'm in the same mode (language for non-unicode programs = japanese) Quote:
Let's just think about '???????' where the single quotation mark = 0x27, but there can be 0x27 in ???? thanks to U+27xx and U+xx27. This way, this can't work in UTF-16, and the same goes for some other encodings. Another confusing problem is, Windows is meddling when it passes a string input/output, to/from mkvmerge...it'll convert charset by itself (in a lossy way, for instance ä will be converted to a if the codepage=japanese, and one Kanji will be converted to 2 meaningless alphabets if the codepage!=japanese)...plus you should hack the clipboard encoding if you'd like to enable one to paste something in unicode into the editbox in mmg...otherwise, windows defaults the clipboard encoding to "Lanugage for non-unicode program" so...probably the safest way is not very cool: --title @somefile.utf8.txt Quote:
BUT, more importantly,,,,,,, finally SUB+IDX is coming!! Here's a cosmetic thing: i suppose "Subtitle charset" list in mmg should be disabled if the track is S_VOBSUB |

Sorry to bother you ppl, but recently i want to mux an rmvb file with an mp3 file and this message appears in mmg.exe
Warning: real_reader: packet assembly failed. Expected packet length was 54842 but found only 1 sub packets containing 47372 bytes. Sub packet number: 316160. Trying to continue. Warning: real_reader: G:\zzzdvd1\1.rmvb: Data packet length is too small: 0. Other values: object_version: 0x2091, id: 0x1222, timecode: 100, flags: 0x5f. File position: 651304067. Aborting this file. The .mkv file was truncated, but when i play the rmvb file its ok, and the same happens when i play the .mp3 file Any ideas why this happendŋ? Sorry for my poor english. Alx. |

Without having the file in question I can't say if this could be processed completely, but I doubt it. Maybe RealPlayer has some strange error recovery method that I just can't think of.
