I'm trying to put a split rmvb/aac .mkv back togeather for HDD back up.

When I use Mkvmerge to appened the two .mkv flies I get "The file... does not contain a track with the ID 0, or that track is not to be copied. Therefore no track can be appended to it. The argument for '--append-to' was invalid."

When I try the same with AVIMux I get a video resolution not the same error. (They are the same it's just the old second disc part has the true resolution (Pixels) incorectly flagged the same as the resolution (Display). A problem with the initial split of an anamorphic video stream I guess)

So I demuxed the video and audio with Mvkextract then tried to append just the AAC audio streams. I get "cannot be appended... because the track parameters do not match (The AAC profiles are different: 1 and 4)." with MKVmerge. I try this in AVIMux and manage to sucsessfully create an mka audio stream.


Now I join the rmvb streams with rmeditor but when I try to remux this with the mka stream I created with AVIMux the Video playback halts at the old split point and the audio keeps going.

The video and audio playback is seemless independant of each other.

There must be a cleaner easyer way to do this. Quicktime 6.5 doesn't recognise the AAC streams so I can't use that to join then. DTDrive fails to do a AAC -> M4A conversion.

There must be an easy way to join 2 identical format HE-AAC streams.

With mp4box, you can store your he-aac streams in mp4 container. Then with the same tool, you can concatenate 2 or more mp4 files.

Thanks Kurtnoise13 :) YAMB works flawlessly. Still got the issue though so it must be the rmvb stream... Off to the Real Forums.

Cheers.

#2 may i remind you about the rules. dont post about the same issue in multiple forums! most users read lots of boards so you will get help here anyways if someone knows the answer

and you can also always ask a mod to move your thread if you think the current forum is not the right one
