Hi,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm sorry if this issue has been covered before, but I have tried for days to find the answer to my issue by going through this forum and other sites. If my issue has been covered, please just give me a link to the proper thread because, believe me, I've tried looking for it exhaustively. Here it goes:
I use Evodemux to get files that I can use in Megui to create an h.264/.mp4 file. From there I use Mkvmerge to combine the .mp4 and .ac3 file into a .mkv which can be played on my home theater PC. Both the .mp4 and .ac3 play smoothly on their own (albeit with no sound or video, respectively). However, the resultant .mkv file has what I believe others have referred to as micro-stutters. It's like it's sticks for a fraction of a second before jumping to the proper frame causing a slight, but noticeable jittery effect. It doesn't speed up because it is synchronous with the sound (which plays smoothly) it just kind of jumps. I've done this with at least 4 files. In every case, both the .mp4 (from Megui) and the .ac3 (from eac3to) play fine on their own. It's only when they're combined in Mkvmerge that these stutters are introduced. I've looked into the timecode, but there doesn't seem to be any site or link that tells you how to create a timecode file and the option is disabled in Mkvmerge anyway. I can't believe I'm the only one with this issue since it seems a lot of people use Mkvmerge, but nobody has really brought it up. I'd be willing to use another tool, but I can't find another one that doesn't involve re-encoding the files (which I already have and were very time-consuming to create). Any suggestions or links that might help me? Anything would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
