Yamb 2.1.0.0 beta 2 is out...

[Kurtnoise]

I send an email to your free.fe email address. I wan't sure if you recieved,
it's kurtnoise at free dot fr, not fe...

There is one issue I have been having, and it is this error: Access Violation at address 004201EF in module 'Yamb.exe'. Read of address 01000100. Or, Access Violation at address 0056F7E5 in module 'Yamb.exe'. Read of address 00000030. I am running Windows 7 x64 with Intel i7 920 CPU, 6 GB RAM.
what do you try to do ? please, describe each steps.

1) Adding MKV extraction was an awesome idea! It would also be cool if you added FLV extraction too.
maybe...:)

2) My second suggestion is to add a batch option to YAMB. This would be a great feature when a person has several dozen files to mux and/or demux. While the actual (de)muxing is a fast process, it does get tedious clicking Create, Dragging and Dropping files, clicking Next, click Finish, answering 'No' to Am I sure I want to quit... all for one file.
yes, it's already planned for the next releases.

Well, that's it... please keep up your excellent work, and I hope you'll seriously consider my suggestions.
thanks to you...;)

That was a typo in my post. I did send the message to your correct email address.

what do you try to do ? please, describe each steps.

I dragged and dropped a MKV AVC file and then a MP4 AAC file in MP4 File Creation window. After muxing 5 files with no errors, the sixth time yielded an error as I reported previously. There is no ryme or reason to the error. Sometines I can go 10, 15 times muxing with no error.

The exact time the error shows is when I click the CANCEL button or when I click YES or NO when asked "Are you sure you want to quit Yamb?". It seems when I click CANCEL, the error often shows, but the YES or NO error happens more rarely.

I have also found there is trouble muxing when here is a # sign in the path, (i.e. E:\Wow Hits #1s).

Hope this helps, and sorry for taking so long to get back to you. There is one more error that I get, but it is extremely hard to reproduce. The best way I can describe it is a path error: I get a popup that says something like "Error: C:\Pr gram File...". What I remember most is the "o" is missing in Program. If it happems again, I will screen capture and be sure and let you know.

Thanks!

Ok...thanks for the description. I'll try it asap.

btw, trouble muxing with the # character in the path, it's due to MP4Box, not Yamb itself. This character can be use as delimiter...

Okay, no problem there. It's extremely rare there is a "#" in my path anyway.

I got that rare error again this morning:

http://www.etnwx.com/images/10-25-2010error2.jpg

When this error occurs, the file creation fails. When I exit then restart Yamb, the file will mux properly with no change in procedure.

Another issue I have ran into is if I want to add a -300ms media delay to an audio track, the same delay shows up in the video track (thus canceling out the delay).

Finally, one more request came to mind this morning: When creating a MP4 from MKV, the intermediate files with the extensions .H264 and .aac are left behind. Can you add an check box option in settings to delete the intermediate files when conversion is done?

Thanks for listening!:cool:

Already there...in the Extractors settings, you can see a checkbox for this.

[bigdog660]

Already there...in the Extractors settings, you can see a checkbox for this.

Oops! :p

However, while the option is there, and it does work for MP4 --> MP4, and AVI --> MP4; it has a problem with MKV. When I go MKV --> MP4, the intermediate files are still left behind even with the checkbox marked.

[yetanotherid]

This is just an "I'm curious" question, and I assume the reason is due to MP4Box or the MP4 container itself, but why when muxing MP4s is YAMB so slow? At least when compared to muxing MKV files with MKVMerge.

I have two RAID volumes in this PC and generally if I want to mux a file I try to make sure the output is on a different volume to the source. So when muxing to MKV one volume reads while the other one writes and I can re-mux a 3-4GB file in around 30 seconds.
The same process using YAMB sees it extracting the streams first... and there's no way to get it to extract them to a different drive to speed up the process.... then it imports the streams and finally it writes the MP4 file.... taking around 10 times longer to complete the job.

Why can't YAMB/MP4Box simply read from the source as it writes to the output file in the way MKVMerge does? (I assume)

[Kurtnoise]

you are comparing oranges & apples...:rolleyes:

[yetanotherid]

you are comparing oranges & apples...:rolleyes:

Okay then. Can you tell me what the differences between apples and oranges are? :rolleyes:

[lordadmira]

What about the issue with the buttons not being visible in the window?

[kypec]

I personally gave up on Yamb once I found its inability to demux directly into another directory than source :mad:

Cheers,
I'll give it a shot.

[mariner]

Greetings Kurt. Thanks for writing this wonderful program.

Need some help with joining Youtube mp4 clips that have been broken into smaller parts. Playback would stop at the end of part1.

Many thanks and best regards.

[mini-moose]

dunno if that has been discussed before was too much to read through so apologies for bringing something that may have been covered already.

from features list:
- subtitles with srt (SubRip), ttxt (GPAC), sub (MicroDVD), idx/sub (VobSub)

however trying to add .sub won't work cause it's listed as a microdvd format and .idx is not in the type files under "Subtitles" not does it show up in directory when I use "All Files *.*. However if I manually type name.idx and add it, it will be added..to the Audio & Video section and will be muxed in fine.

Just wondering why it's not something I can add using the add feature.

thanks in advance

[Weirdo]

Really nice GUI, I hope you could find the time to fix the medium - 125% DPI issue.

[Kurtnoise]

should be fixed for the next release...

[Toddler Naruto]

I've just started using Yamb 2.1.0.0 beta 2, and I noticed that there's no queue function for creating multiple MP4s, it only lets me create one MP4 at a time.

So my question is, is there a way for me to queue multiple "jobs" with Yamb 2.1.0.0 beta 2 or not?

And if there isn't such a function, why? Will it be included in a future release?

[Kurtnoise]

Hi,

Yes, that will be included in the next release...

[SeeMoreDigital]

Hi,

Yes, that will be included in the next release...
Nice to hear there will be another release :)

[Kurtnoise]

yeah, UI has been redesigned, several features have been added (mkv input files support directly to mp4box, some customisations for Devices, better chapters support, etc...)

In addition, I'm looking for people who have access to Nexus 4/7/10 or Kindle Fire/HD or xbox360 devices. Please, contact me if you're interested to test several files into this or if you know how can I have access to these devices...

:thanks:

[SeeMoreDigital]

Although I don't have any of the devices you mention, I'm always interested in testing ;)

[Toddler Naruto]

Hi,

Yes, that will be included in the next release...

If you don't mind me asking, could you possibly give us a general estimate of when this "next release" might be released?

Like before Christmas 2012? Or will we have to wait until Spring 2013 at the earliest?

[Kurtnoise]

Sorry, no ETA but I hope to release public beta in 2013 Q1...

[jfcarbel]

:thanks:

I will be getting a Nexus 10 after Christmas and would be interested in testing. I also have several MKV files to test with.
I will PM you with my email.

You mention better chapters support. Can you hint at what we might be looking forward to.

[Kurtnoise]

Hi,

Chapters markers (name and/or pictures preview) handle by Apple devices using directly mp4box.

[jfcarbel]

Hi,

pictures preview?

[Kurtnoise]

Something like that :

[SeeMoreDigital]

Sweet... What do you need to do to generate those?

[Kurtnoise]

I use directshow filters installed on the machine to create pictures according to the chapters file. Is that the meaning of your question ?

[bigdog660]

I don't know if you remember me, but about two years ago I emailed you, and asked for two features. One is add FLV extraction (maybe via FLV Extract assuming the author gives you permission), and importation of the source files from the FLV container in to MP4Box much like you will do with MKV files. What I mean to say is the ability to open or drop a FLV file on YAMB, and YAMB will import the a/v/chapters tracks automatically.

The second was batch support, but I see you have plans for it in the next release.

I have several devices I can test on: Samsung Galaxy S III (phone), Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" (tablet), Xbox 360, Samsung Blu-Ray player with MP4 file support, Apple iPad 2, iPod, Kindle Fire (original).

Thanks for your hard work. We appreciate it.

[Djard]

Hope I'm in the right place for my topic.

I downloaded Yamb v2.1.0.0 beta and installed it in the default location, after which I tried to multiplex an MP4 video file with its audio (AAC). The main field would not populate. Maybe someone can point out where I get lost in the steps I used:

1. Creation -> Click to create an MP4 file....
2. Drag and drop the MP4 and AAC files into the main panel. Delete, Up, Down and Properties buttons now appear in the right pane, but nothing appears in the main panel.
3. So I click "Add" and try importing the two files, one at a time. Nothing. I tried the same steps with several other Mp4 and AAC files that play fine individually, but I cannot get anything to appear in the main panel.

I saw an a tutorial online that shows the two files in the main panel. But nothing I try works.

If Yamb is unstable, maybe someone can recommend an app to mux MP4 and AAC files. I'd be mighty grateful.

[Brazil2]

@Djard:

Update your MP4Box.exe (which is a part of the GPAC framework):
http://gpac.wp.mines-telecom.fr/downloads/

Or use L-Smash:

[Djard]

Thanks so much, but I gave up on Yamb: it simply doesn't work for me. Until I find an app that does not require seemingly endless labor to mux MP4 and AAC, I'll continue converting such files to AVI and MP3 then mux them with VD.

[SeeMoreDigital]

Personally, I use Yamb (which is working fine for me) and DVB Portal's MP4 Muxer (http://www.dvbportal.de/projects/mp4muxer/)...

[Taurus]

@Djard
I have tried all possible combinations for muxing and demuxing of different containers and raw files in Yamb.

mp4 video + mp4 audio

h264 + aac

mp4 video + aac

h264 + mp4 audio

All fine.....
Have not tested subtitles.
There seem to be some files missing on your side.
Because Yamb should be able to import your files right out of the box.
Or some admin rights on your side are interferring.
Try to "install" Yamb in a not protected place on your harddisk,
maybe C:\Yamb :D
And maybe extract a new MP4Box from the GPAC framework as mentioned by Brazil2 and put it with its related files to the new Yamb folder.
Hope this helps....

[SeeMoreDigital]

Hope this helps....I tried doing this yesterday... It does not work at all ;)

[Brazil2]

It works pretty fine for me but you need to extract these three files from the GPAC setup installer:
MP4Box.exe
js.dll or js32.dll depending on the version
libgpac.dll

Or use a static build like this one:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BwV03nn6LPd9ODRlU3h1SURqNGM&usp=sharing

[Taurus]

Yeah, Brazil2 is right.
You have to unpack the files with something like 7-Zip from the GPAC setup.exe and put them in your Yamb folder.
Works flawless for me.

[SeeMoreDigital]

Darn Java script....

[Brazil2]

The Modified Date is the one that counts as it shows the latest update. The Created Date is just when the file has been created for the very first time in a specific folder of the guy's HDD, so I guess he's now overwritting it on every new build.

[tebasuna51]

@Kurtnoise
Like you are YAMB and MeGUI developer can you recommend the method to use?

The last YAMB have a old MP4Box.exe "standalone", can work with last GPAC builds (MP4Box.exe + dll's)?
We can configure YAMB to use the last MP4Box buid used in MeGUI (now r4708) ...\megui\tools\mp4box\mp4box.exe?
There are any differences between both methods?

[Kurtnoise]

Hi,

To create mp4 files, that should be fine. So, yes, you can grab all files from megui/mp4box folder..for edition like cutting or extracting, I'm not sure that YAMB supports the last build.

[Brazil2]

I'm not sure that YAMB supports the last build.
It works, however it's now time for a serious update of YAMB for taking HEVC into account ;)

[Kurtnoise]

yeah, but probably in MeGUI first...:)

[IceFiend]

Mp4 muxer is roughly as out of date as Yamb(last update was seven years ago in 2008). Up until recently, I found that either version 1 or version 2 of Yamb could demux/mux just about anything I threw at it. But recently, that has not been true. I suspect it has something to do with 10-bit encoding becoming popular, but I really don't know.

I'm just wondering if there is anything that can both mux and demux multiple containers and steams(mp4, mkv) that has been updated in the last few years. It seems like all of the tools that can split and combine files, are all getting pretty long in the teeth and have significant problems with modern encodes.

You can try this: MP4.tool (http://forum.gleitz.info/showthread.php?46424-MP4-tool-GUI-f%FCr-MP4Box-und-L-SMASH)

A gui which covers the basic mp4box functions like muxing, demuxing, splitting, concatenating.
Can also mux using l-smash and can demux various other formats. Not updated for some time, but should still work with most video files.

Nice! I'll add this to my toolbox, so I don't have to use MeGUI anymore. Hopefully it'll work with drop-in newer mkvtoolnix and mp4box, too.
