Hi RobuX4,

It's good to see you here...

Among other things, it can play AVC in Matroska. If you manage to mux such a file

Could you elaborate little bit more please ?? How can we manage the mux ?? Thanks.

[bill_baroud]

by coding the muxing tool yourself no ?

[filewalker]

Can somebody find a changelog?

This matroska splitter can't "split" the FLAC audio format...

[Slave01]

I have installed it but i can find it difficult to see if now i am using the new splitter or the old one. Can anyone post some "testing clips" please?



Greetings

[Shinobu]

any chance to get the autoloading of subtitle works ?
i also have some seeking lags (not cpu problem) and strange sound bug when seek with AAC+.
i've none of these bugs with gabest splitter.
also your splitter doesn't seems to realy work on 98/me, do you plan to devel that ?

otherwise it's a good work, thanks for doing it.

To display subs correctly, just use the vsfilter.dll you'll find here

[Mosu]

Guys, it's really great that you test Haali's new splitter. But Haali doesn't read this forum very often Therefore we'd like to ask you to post problems with his splitter to our mailing list: matroska-devel@lists.matroska.org (No need to subscribe first, just sent an email)

Thanks

new version

NOTES
=====

* MatroskaSplitter.exe is a simple installer that supports both Win9x and real
systems.
* Stock vsfilter doesnt support autoloading with this parser, you need to enable
autloading in splitter properties.
* Vorbis decoding with OggDS won't work, use CoreVorbis if you need that
* Old CoreVorbis can't function properly with this splitter, please use the latest
decoder from http://corecodec.org/frs/?group_id=16


Changes
=======

10/01/2005 Fix seeking in files that don't start at 0.
10/01/2005 Native mpeg4 support, fix tree in properties page, automatically
load linked files (needs to be enabled in options).
06/01/2005 Start menu shortcut, better win9x support, other small fixes and
improvements.
02/01/2005 Win9x support.
02/01/2005 Mode2 cd support, various fixes and improvements.
17/12/2004 Flac playback fixed.
17/12/2004 A complete rewrite with many new features.

so vsfilter doesn't seems to auto load again but there's no mod vsfilter on his site anymore ... too bad.
mkv with nero avc don't seek on my computer, it stop the video and i need to reload it.

You have to specify the framerate during the muxing, if you want to play it correctly
And in the future, you'll always need the alternative vsfilter, which, i have to say, i find better thant gabest one (it displays sub's name of mkv files, not only their language

I think I just found some bugs in the 10.01.2005 build:

1)If I tried to open the "Matroska Splitter seetings" the first time, a pop up message came and asked for "rundll.exe". I manually linked it to its' location.

2)Although "Autoload VSFilter" is set to Yes, VSFilter doesn't autoload. (yes,the patcheed modified VSFilter is installed)

3)If I stop the playback in the Zoomplayer and then load the MKV file again, I get an error message:
"Error:can't open file:80070020"
Zoomplayer tells me:
"Error 80070020 - Unable to create the "Matroska File" Filter- Der Prozess kann nicht auf die Datei zugreifen, da sie von einem anderen Prozess verwendet wird" (translated: the process can't grab the file because it is used by another process)

After this message ZP hangs up! (never happened before, now for 2 years)

In Graphedit:
If I open a MKV file, Graphedit tells me: "The format of some files in the video aren't supported." (VSFilter?)
After pressing ok, the graph is build up, but VSFilter isn't loaded.

System: WinXP

edit:
(also mailed to the matroska mailinglist)

Copied on your HD doesn't mean it's used. Maybe you're still using a previous installed VSFilter... Yes, DirectShow is hell !

[filewalker]

Believe me, only the patched version installed and registered in my system. I really take care what is registered in my system.

And the patched VSFilter has worked in all versions( ...,08.12.2004/15.12.2004/03.01.2005) of Mike's Matroska parser till I used the latest build.

If I tried to open the "Matroska Splitter seetings" the first time, a pop up message came and asked for "rundll.exe". I manually linked it to its' location.

Changes in the last version:
11/01/2005 Fix rundll32 path.
11/01/2005 Add another mediatype for A_REAL, it should play in MPC now.

And chapters are now displayed correctly

Mike, author
Vsfilter doesnt support autoloading with this parser, you need to enable autloading in splitter properties.
The splitter option is for compatibility with other vsfilter versions that don't support autoloading themselves.

In the mailinglist Mike(the author) wrote that gabest's VSFilter is supported now (better combatibility) and can now also be used, but you need to "to enable autloading in splitter properties", otherwise gabest's VSFilter won't load for showing subs.

So you see, we don't need the patched version in the future...although Toff's version has some adavantages, as you already wrote ...

Gabest's VSFilter can do the same already at least with MPC. Altho, I agree with you that we'd need alt. VSfilter especially if Gabest doesn't interested in developing the new version for now... Perhaps someone has to develp USF DSFilters too.

[Liisachan]

Autoloading VSFilter works fine for me on my Win2k.

Btw I found a small/trivial typo in the Dialogbox from splitter.ax (2005-01-11):

[Start] - Programs - Haali Matroska Splitter - Matroska Splitter Propertie, compatibility - Autload VSFilter

Should be Autoload

Keep up a good job! Thank you =)
