mkvtoolnix 1.6.5 is out

[MeteorRain]

mosu:
can you add support for auto fetching delay info by scan 'DELAY %dms' from an AC3 audio file?

[kurt]

Hi mosu,

an option to use simple block by default would be great :)

[foxyshadis]

Since it's feature request hour: :p
* Can the various file open folders be changed to default to wherever the last dragged-in file was?
* The split-parsing doesn't seem to use the same rules you put in for chapter points a while back. Can it?

have an error message that i cant find anywhere

i'm trying to mux an avi (avc in vfw) with an aac audio track. this works fine normally, but this time i get an error i cant get around


Warning: Quicktime/MP4 reader: The AAC track 1 is missing the esds atom/the decoder config. Skipping this track.

Warning: 'F:\audio.mp4': No tracks will be copied from this file. This usually indicates a mistake in the command line.

anyone seen this before?

I've been muxing some video files with .ass subtitles, and noticed that while attached truetype font files play back fine in MPC, .PFB/.PFM PostScript Type 1 files won't show at all - font substitution occurs. Is this a bug in mkvmerge, or the player?

[Liisachan]

last time i checked, it was like This will only work if you set the correct mime type for the FONTS when muxing them with mkvmerge/mmg, it is

application/x-truetype-font
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=72086

mightve been changed already tho

[Isochroma]

I tried setting the MIME types for the files to both application/x-truetype-font and application/postscript; neither one worked.

So instead I grabbed this handy app called TransType that converts all font types.

[Liisachan]

I did a quick search and...
(1) Gabest's splitter calls InstallFont (http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/guliverkli/trunk/guliverkli/src/filters/parser/matroskasplitter/MatroskaSplitter.cpp?view=annotate&sortby=date#l664) only if mime is "application/x-truetype-font"
(2) PostScript Type 1 fonts (.pfb + .pfm) could be installed too, on Windows 2000/XP (http://store.adobe.com/type/browser/fontinstall/instructions_english.html), but not on Windows 98 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q188409/). So generally speaking, .pfb + .pfm cannot be supported.

So, while it might be possible to handle PostScript Type 1 transparently on newer Windows, it's rather safer to embed it as TrueType, if the font format conversion is not difficult (is it?)

[Isochroma]

The format conversion is easy as pie; and the quality is visually lossless. So TTF is the format, and thanking you for your help, I'll conclude this sub-subtopic so you guys can get back to the important work!

[Egh]

Strange :LOL:

Those type1 worked nicely recently with 1.7.0. MIME type application/x-font was used.

Of course I have WindowsXP thus proobably it works only on relatively recent OSes only.

[Liisachan]

perhaps Haali's filter can handle it. I checked sourfecorge (gabest) only.

[sigma_sigma]

I have a question if it's possible. A used nero recode 2 wich is in Nero.Premium.Edition.v7.2.0.3 package to encode a vob file into mp4. After that, with mkvtoolnix v 1.7.0, I created a mkv file with subtitle included. When I play the movie with gabest media player classic, haali media splitter and vsfilter started automaticly, but I have no subtitle on screen, I don't understand why. Another mkv files made by me with x264 with subtitle included work great, but this one no. WHY, Please help!
Thanks in advance!

Later edit: was because my processor wich is slow.... mkvtoolnix v 1.7.0, is just fine....

[LeMoi]

What version of vsfilter do you have ?

[sigma_sigma]

that wich is included in Matroska_Pack_Full_v1.1.2.exe (v2.36)

[Kurtnoise]

Are you sure that subtitles are there ? Did you have some sub entries in the filters ?

edit: blah...didn't seen your edit.

[Tima]

So what about this bug?

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=828559#post828559

[Avish]

Why don't someone changes the thread title as the latest version is 1.7.0. :)

[Marsu42]

When trying to mux an ogg file, mkvmerge (v1.7.0) crashes w/ an unknown software exception ... is it just me, a known problem or a current bug?

[Liisachan]

You mean Ogg Vorbis? If every vorbis lets mkvmerge crash, I bet it's your problem. If only a specific file causes the problem, there will be other possibilities (if you uploaded the file in question, I'd test to see if I can reproduce the pb)

both Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Theora work fine for me anyway...

[Marsu42]

avimux_gui works ok with the same vorbis files. The files are rather large, so it would be overkill to upload it somewhere just to confirm the problem. I guess I will try some other .ogg files again and - if I cannot come up with a solution myself - ask again with a smaller sample. Thanks so far!

[Skelsgard]

How come MKVMerge doesn´t inport RAW 264 streams? Is it easier to import it thru MP4 container than raw or st like that?

Yes, it is.

Hi Guys,

Please take a look http://img530.imageshack.us/my.php?image=indi2ls.jpg

& please tell me what are these Edition 1, Edition 2, Edition 3? & If I want to keep only the latest edition, how can I get rid of the other two?

& Incase u wanna know, I used MKVToolnix 1.6.5 for this file.

About the chapters file, It's a txt file which contains data like this:
CHAPTER01=00:00:00.000
CHAPTER01NAME=Chapter 1: Utah, 1912
CHAPTER02=00:04:21.011
CHAPTER02NAME=Chapter 2: The Pursuit

[Egh]

Hi Guys,


& please tell me what are these Edition 1, Edition 2, Edition 3? & If I want to keep only the latest edition, how can I get rid of the other two?


What chapters file did you use for that? :)

[MatMaul]

hello !
I have actually a request with the last mkvmerge.
If I don't select a track as default track, mkvmerge sets the default tag on the first track : I think it's not good for subtitles : if I don't select a default track, I think mkvmerge must no set default track and the player or the splitter must do not active subtitles by default (option "no subtitles" in haali splitter).

thanks !

[StoraX]

Thanx !

[Liisachan]

I think that's a FAR (Frequently Asked Request), but it's not a good idea to believe a decoder/player too much. Because there are many different playres, and there's no telling how one might react when no sub track has the def flag.

I would do what I could do easily when muxing: Just mux an empty srt (or something similar) as the first sub track, with the default flag, and any player will react totally the same way.
That's not elegant, but the most reliable solution. On the other hand, even if Mosu makes the change as you suggested, some of the players out there might not even check the default flag at all... Just my 2 cents...

[Mosu]

can you add support for auto fetching delay info by scan 'DELAY %dms' from an AC3 audio file?

and

an option to use simple block by default would be great

and

Can the various file open folders be changed to default to wherever the last dragged-in file was?

[MacAddict]

Did the SSE2 builds prove not to be worth the extra effort?

[foxyshadis]

What's the point of a processor optimized build of something that's entirely disk-speed-bound? I've never seen it go above 10% cpu, and usually it hovers around 2%.

btw thanks, Mosu.

[Mosu]

Did the SSE2 builds prove not to be worth the extra effort?

Well, Issa always did those, and (s)he did not consult me. So I can't really comment :)

Anyway, what foxyshadis says is true. mkvmerge is completely bound by disk and memory I/O speed, not by processing power. It could use a lot of improvement on the disk I/O part (meaning proper caching, maybe multi-threaded), but there's almost nothing the compiler can speed up by using special processor optimazations.

[Avish]

Hi Mosu,

U seems to be the creator of mkvtoolnix, so please tell me how can I get rid of these Edition 2 & 3? [please check the screenshot If u want] http://img530.imageshack.us/my.php?image=indi2ls.jpg

I want to keep only one of 3, only the latest one.

Thanks.

[Mosu]

Avish: Which kind of files are you remuxing? (What are your source files etc etc) Can you "load" chapters from the MKV file in mmg's chapter editor and send me a screenshot of it?

[Avish]

Avish: Which kind of files are you remuxing? (What are your source files etc etc) Can you "load" chapters from the MKV file in mmg's chapter editor and send me a screenshot of it?Sure. Sorces are x264 into mkv, encoded by meGUI + the original ac3.
I used Chapter-X-tractor, chosen preset was OGG & saved it as a txt file.

Sorry for repeating this again, but this bug is really annoying. :)

An old problem reappears:

when executing commandline manually, everything is running ok..

[Haali]

I don't think you can stretch ac3 audio without reencoding.

[Marsu42]

When run from the command line, mmg creates "jobs" directories all over the place (i.e. in the current directory). It would be nice if this directory would only appear in the folder mmg.exe is in.

[MeteorRain]

can you add support for auto fetching delay info by scan 'DELAY %dms' from an AC3 audio file?

simpleblock by default works great here :)
but even if I uncheck "show mmg's debug window" it appears after starting...(nothing serious, but worth mentioning)

[#2]

Thanks Mosu. I'm very greatfull for this up date. I now need to demux and remux every rmvb / ac3 file I muxed with 1.6.5 (jerky play back) Can some one help me with a script to do that recursivly, demuxing to a set directory where I know there is space and then muxing back into the original dir overwriting the original mkv.. ?

[kurt]

when using simpleblock for muxing and after that trying to split the file, this error appears: Warning: pr_generic.cpp/generic_packetizer_c::add_packet(): timecode < last_timecode (00:00:00.040 < 00:00:00.160) for 1 of 'C:\Movies\xxx.mkv'. This should not have happened.....
the output file seems to be ok (although splitting takes a lot of time)...

my system: P4, 2ghz, 512RAM, WinXPHome

Edit: the file was created with xvid_encraw and mkv output

open your mmg
load the mkv and rewrite the output file name
copy the command line to clipboard
write a batch file
you may take the advantage of 'for %i in (*.*) do xxx'
if you use '%i' in batch file, you should use '%%i' instead.

[#2]

Thanks MeteorRain... I need to demux with mkvextract first and then remux.Ohterwise I still get jerky playback.

Cheers also for the tips on batch files that's what I really need to know so that I can run a script to do that recursivly, demuxing to a set directory where I know there is space and then muxing back into the original dir.

[#2]

Well this is random. I thought 1.7.0 had fixed my jerky playback issues. But when I play the rmvb file in mpc with an ac3 audio file named the same it plays very well at about 60% cpu with some high freq post filtering in MPC. With tyring to play the mkv of those two streams ends up with 100% CPU and jerky play back??

Any one else have this issue? And is that a typical cpu hike just for splitting? (Latest haali splitter)
