MKVcleaver : GUI for mkvextract with batch support v 0.7.0.2 - Page 13

hello_hello · 9th January 2012, 11:25

I don't know whether it's an MKVCleaver problem or not, but I was kind of surprised to discover this extraction bug was still being reported, then I looked at the image in post #231...

When I upgraded MKVToolnix to the "problem" version, MKVCleaver was definitely broken for me. Upgrading to 5.2.1 fixed it.
It's probably just habit but I always extract streams by selecting them under the batch mode section on the right of the MKVCleaver GUI. After reading post #231 I tried an extraction by selecting the streams in the left pane. Sure enough, I got the same error. I tried again using the same file and the right pane and MKVCleaver extracted everything without a problem.

I'd have assumed from that it's likely to be an MKVCleaver problem..... given it'll extract streams, or not, according to how you select them. Then again, MKVCleaver hasn't been updated for a reasonable period of time (I don't think) so I assume extracting has worked either way until recently?

If it matters I'm running XP and using MKVCleaver 0.5.0.3

I confirmed it. Thanks hello_hello, you saved me a bunch of time.

Anyways, mediainfo.dll still marks IDs starting from 1 that's why the error occurs. It's easy to fix, but I will have to check with Zenitram first. If he's going to change mediainfo code to accommodate new mkvtoolnix ID assignments then there is no point in changing my code twice.

sheck · 15th January 2012, 04:56

A patched version of MKVcleaver is now available. Version 0.5.0.4 is modified to only work with MkvToolNix 5.2.1.0 or newer. It is not a full version, just a patched executable and mediainfo.dll. You must have version 0.5.0.3 already installed (portable or MSI). Only 32 bit version is available at the moment.

Do not use version 0.5.0.4 if you have older version of MkvToolNix.

sheck · 15th January 2012, 23:36

64 bit version is now available.

sialivi · 18th January 2012, 18:39

@sheck
Both the 32 and 64-bit portable versions in the first post are 0.5.0.3

sneaker_ger · 18th January 2012, 22:51

As he said: he does not offer a full package for 0.5.0.4 at the moment.
The patches are available on the google page:
http://code.google.com/p/mkvcleaver/downloads/list

sheck · 19th January 2012, 04:10

You can also get the files from my download page which is listed on the first post.

Thanks sneaker_ger.

73ChargerFan · 23rd January 2012, 00:05

Thank you for the update. Perhaps you can make it version aware by running "mkvextract -V" and parsing the response.

sheck · 23rd January 2012, 16:06

It is version aware already. 0.5.0.4 won't work with mkvtoolnix version earlier than 5.2.1.0. Have you tried using MKVcleaver 0.5.0.4 with earlier version ?

73ChargerFan · 30th January 2012, 06:11

No, I didn't try. I was thinking, that if the change is from 0 based index to a 1 based index, then the code could switch between the two depending on a version check. Of course, it probably isn't necessary, because you could just say it's to be used with the most current release.

Again, Thank You! I use it about once a week, and it is a real time saver.

sheck · 30th January 2012, 15:54

Sorry, I think I misunderstood what you were trying to say. Yes, MKVcleaver 0.5.0.4 will only work with mkvtollnix version 5.2.1.0 or newer, because it's a patch. The next version will work with all mkvtoolnix versions and will be able to detect which one is being executed.

sneaker_ger · 5th February 2012, 23:28

Is anyone able to extract attachments? I'm using 0.5.0.4 + mkvtoolnix 5.2.1 (latest pre) and I cannot get attachments to extract. It will take a second and report the successful extraction, but no file was actually created. The log just shows:
"Extracting Items - attachments
Done"

That seems weird. I'm using v0.5.0.4 + mkvtoolnix 5.2.1 (build 402) and I can extract attachments just fine. Are you sure your mkv have attachments?

sneaker_ger · 6th February 2012, 07:10

Thank you for your answer.

I'm sure they have attachments, but you are correct in that it does not seem to affect all files. The one that does not work has a whole lot of them, like 50, so maybe it has something to do with their number being too high or mkvcleaver's command line getting too long? Sadly, mkvcleaver's log is not very verbose.

I can confirm this issue, and I think it's because mkvcleaver's command line is exceeded command-line string limitation in this case.

Mosu · 6th February 2012, 08:57

The incredibly limited length of Windows' command line arguments is the reason I created option files that work with all of the programs, not just with mkvextract (search for "@option-file" on that web page).

sneaker_ger · 6th February 2012, 09:00

I see.
So mkvcleaver might have to split too long command into multiple calls to make it work on all files.

/edit:
Hadn't seen your post yet, Mosu. An options file sounds like a good solution.
Already had a feature request posted to your bugtracker, which I still think would be useful. Especially for batching. Also the extract GUIs seem to break every now and then...

sheck · 8th February 2012, 03:04

Hmm...

Can anyone post the full path to an mkv file that causes the problem ? I would like to create the same structure on my system and see what causes it. Max file path length is 256 characters. Can anyone confirm if this issue exists with older MKVcleaver and mkvtoolnix ?

johnsonlam · 9th February 2012, 02:27

Thanks sheck, the patched version works properly.

Hi sheck,

I guess it's not matter with the MKV video's path, my video is in "F:\anime\ano natsu de matteru" and the patched version just work fine, the older v0503 crash immediately.

The older mkvtoolnix did not have this problem.
