How to extract timecode.txt with AVC-Stream?

[Deinorius]

Hi

I need to get the timecode.txt from an .mkv file. Normally it's no problem with mkv2vfr.exe from Haali, but it supports only .avi streams. I have two files, which are encoded with AVC as native streams.

How can I get it? If I'm not wrong, mkvextract doesn't support it correctly.

Try mkvextract gui, and enable the timecode tab.

Mkvextract does create timecode files just fine, the syntax is just a little obscure. You can't get v1 timecodes with it though. (There is a converter... somewhere, I don't remember its name.)

Oh, how interesting.
I used a too old version of mkvextractgui, so I had no idea.
How lucky, they did some improvements, i wished. ^^

Where's this program? Any idea of the name of this program?

let's go to thread MkvToolnix .
This program can only extract timecodes_v2 which is hard to view than timecode2_v1
mkv2vfr can produce timecodes_v1 but it is commandline program

Did you read my first post? oO
I already use mkv2vfr, but it has no use with native Streams. Understood?
Now I only need this program for converting timecode v2 to v1. (Or can I use v2 instead?)

Edit: Another question.
How can I check, which mkv Files are vfr?

1. if you just want to remux it into mkv, keep v2 is ok.
2. convert the timecode v2 to v1 and see if there are segments with different frame rate.

@Deinorious : I'm sorry ! I didn't read the sentence which you said you used mkv2vfr.exe
foxyshadis introduced MKVToolnix and you said "Where's this program? Any idea of the name of this program?". I thought that you need MKVToolnix. So I says that let's go to MKVToolnix. This thread has link which leads us to MKVToolnix, not mkv2vfr
How can I check, which mkv Files are vfr?
I read this page. It's quite good http://www.avisynth.org/mediawiki/wiki/VFR

I have just finished writing a small program which convert timecode_v2 to timecode_v1. However, I use Java, :D
