MKVcleaver : GUI for mkvextract with batch support v 0.7.0.2

[Chetwood]

Thanks a lot!

[kazuya2k8]

Hello everyone, I'm just new here~

I'm having trouble using MKVcleaver with certain files.

Whenever I try to extract the attachments it will give me this error and MKVcleaver will exit after clicking the OK button.

Line 2774 (File "C:\Program Files\MKVcleaver\MKVcleaver_x64.exe"):


Error: Subscript used with non-Array variable.

Tried shortening the path/filename, same error. On other MKVs I have, it works fine. I'm using MKVcleaver 5.0.4 with mkvtoolnix 5.8.0.0.

EDIT:
Did some testing. It looks like an attachment with a Japanese text filename causes the error.

Do you mind uploading the files ? I would like to test this.

Look at my signature for the link to upload site.

Changes:

* WIN 7 Taskbar Icon progress bar added
* Added progress bars inside GUI
* Added session handler. MKVcleaver will restore last used files if it crashes
* Changed from command line to options file when using MkvToolNix
* Added XML2CellTimes converter utility
* Changed track numbering to start with 0 if track # < 10
* Added menu to choose between simple and XML chapters
* MKVcleaver will now remember all options set in the last sessions
* Relocated custom.ini, log and options files to %UserProfile%\MKVCleaver directory to avoid UAC problems
* MKVcleaver will now give an error about missing MkvToolNix instead of keeping Extract Tracks button greyed out
* MediaInfo updated to the latest version

Fixes:

* Fixed MKVcleaver 64-bit random crashes
* Max path depth limit is now gone
* GetCodecs tools wouldn't always respond to controls

* Other minor fixes...

[Chetwood]

NIce, gonna check it out.

This new version 0.6.0.0 doesn't work at all.
I get this error when I try to extract some tracks:

The same here...
WinXp 32bit
Error in AutoIt
Back to older version for now.

[cyberbeing]

Version v 0.6.0.0 fails to create a settings ini to remember MKVToolNix location as wells as logs.

It appears to be looking in C:\Users\[UserName]\MKVCleaver which doesn't exist. This should probably be changed to C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\MKVCleaver.

Also the Portable Version should always be saving settings and logs in the same directory as the exe.

[sneaker_ger]

But please use "%appdata%" in the program and don't try to find the folder yourself. (Some programs allow "for all users" or "for current user" option during installation.)

For the portable, the .exe should probably just check if a settings.ini exists in the folder and use that if present. Then include an empty settings.ini in the portable packages.

[sheck]

I'm working on the update. These are actually noob mistakes that I made. That's what happens when you rush. Oh, well. :D

I will not use %appdata% as it's hidden by default. I want users to actually find the configuration files. Also, this would not work on XP.

[sheck]

Fixes:

* Paths were missing "" thus breaking when spaces were present
* MKVcleaver would not create %UserProfile%\MKVCleaver path if it didn't exists
* XML2CellTime would error out when only one file was being converted

Changes:

* Changed Portable versions to point to the %ScriptDir% for all config and log files

[cyberbeing]

You really need to move it out of %UserProfile%\MKVCleaver , since that prevents the ability to launch by just typing mkvcleaver in a Run prompt.

The %UserProfile% directory take priority over PATH variables, which causes the settings folder gets opened when mkvcleaver is typed, instead of launching the program.

[zorrozh]

OK now it works but progress bar inside GUI doesn't work... it stays like this during the whole extraction

worked fine here, both filed up as the demux happened

The progress bars will only work during audio, video, subtitle track extraction.

It's not a big deal as far as I'm concerned, but I will look to see if there is a compromise.

Link for portable 32-bit v0.6.0.1 doesn't work.

Link for portable 32-bit v0.6.0.1 doesn't work.

Fixed. Was a typo in file name on the server.

Thanks.

[sneaker_ger]

Also, this would not work on XP.

Why shouldn't it work? %appdata% is even older than XP, IIRC.
I'd say it's best practice to use the folder designated by the operating system for this exact case instead of trying to do your own thing.

Yes, you're correct, my bad. And I'm not inventing anything new, %userprofile% is used by a lot of apps. The biggest reason is it's visible to users. There is a reason for AppData folder to be hidden. It was hidden to prevent inexperienced users from messing with important application data. I actually want users to see/access the files easily and modify them if needed thus the placement of the folder where it is now. Most likely it will stay there. If you don't like it, then please use the portable version.

[sneaker_ger]

Mkvextract complains about the H.264 bitstream, so that's nothing sheck could fix. You could ask in the mkvtoolnix thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=155732), but likely Mosu will tell you he won't work on fixing broken files.
"Warning: Track 0: NAL too big. Size according to header field: 82331, available bytes in packet: XXXX. This NAL is defect and will be skipped."

[sheck]

Sheck, check this topic (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=166592) out and try to reproduce the error, if you can. I cannot find a way to demux the files. Thanks.

Sorry, it's not related to MKVCleaver so I will not be spending time on this.

The best thing to do is to contact application developers for the application you're using to create the files, if they have any support.

Also, videohelp.com site has a lot of video repair tools. Maybe you can find something there to help you.

Hi sheck.

It seems that MKVcleaver v 0.6.0.1 with mkvtoolnix v 5.8.0 doesn't work if path or filename contains any non-English characters (e.g. "C:\电影\a.mkv" "C:\电影.mkv").

However, v 0.5.0.4 MKVcleaver with mkvtoolnix v 5.2.1 works fine on my PC.

[Mosu]

If the GUI is calling mkvextract with option files then scheck should read the sections about option files (section 8) and escaping special characters (section 9) (http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/doc/mkvmerge.html#mkvmerge.option_files).

[mobius1]

I just found MKVcleaver v 0.6.0.2 has been released on google code and it doesn't work either.

[sheck]

The problem was that the options file was not being saved in UTF8, but rather in ANSI.

[sheck]

Filxes:

* When converting from h264 to avi files were being split at 2 GB mark and that would produce broken avi. Removed size limit on output files.
* MKVExtract option file was being saved in ANSI format. Changed to UTF8.

[sheck]

I just found MKVcleaver v 0.6.0.2 has been released on google code and it doesn't work either.

Please re-download v 0.6.0.2. It should work now.

[mobius1]

An error comes up this time...

[sheck]

Try C:\ in the output directory. It's best if you use the browse button.

[mobius1]

Still get the same error. I forgot to say that this error appears only if path or filename contains any non-English characters.

Same problem with other mkv files and changing path and filename is the only way that I found would make it works.

[river1]

I've got no error message, but demuxing won't start when the mkv file is in a non-English path.

[sheck]

Hmm. It works fine for me. Can someone maybe post the exact path and filename they use when the error comes up ?

[mobius1]

I'm running a windows 7 in Chinese. I found that MKVcleaver works fine with filepaths containing non-English characters if language for non-unicode programs is set to English.

You should be able to reprodece this error by changing this option to Chinese and using one of those filepaths.

C:\动画.mkv
C:\新建文件夹\a.mkv
C:\新建文件夹\动画.mkv

Er, I just found "C:\NEW\动画.mkv" works but "C:\NEW\新建文件夹\a.mkv" or "C:\NEW\新建文件夹\动画.mkv" doesn't (with the option set to Chinese).

[sheck]

I cannot reproduce this error. Are you using the latest MkvToolNix ?

Can you maybe upload the file(s) for me to test with ? I'm curious if it has something to do with the file. See my signature for the link. Use my email from MKVCleaver.

[mobius1]

I found the situation is mess. After trying many files and filepathes, it seems that it doesn't depend on the file but the combination of pathes and filenames. Also 32-bit and 64-bit MKVcleaver gives different result on the same file with the same filepath.

I was using MKVToolNix v5.9.0 before. The test result posted here was carried out using v6.0.0 and I've uploaded the file.

32-bit MKVcleaver
Works:
No.1 "C:\视频\a动画.mkv"
No.2 "C:\a视频\动画.mkv"
No.3 "C:\a视频\视频\动画.mkv"
No.4 "C:\a视频\a新建文件夹\动画.mkv"

Doesn't work:
No.5 "C:\动画.mkv"
No.6 "C:\a动画.mkv"
No.7 "C:\视频\动画.mkv"
No.8 "C:\a视频\新建文件夹\动画.mkv"

64-bit MKVcleaver
Works:
No.7 "C:\视频\动画.mkv"

Doesn't work:
No.5 "C:\动画.mkv"
No.6 "C:\a动画.mkv"
No.1 "C:\视频\a动画.mkv"
No.2 "C:\a视频\动画.mkv"
No.3 "C:\a视频\视频\动画.mkv"
No.4 "C:\a视频\a新建文件夹\动画.mkv"
No.8 "C:\a视频\新建文件夹\动画.mkv"

Language for non-unicode programs is set to Chinese during the test. Only one version of MKVcleaver was instilled at the same time (I'm using msi installer).

Perhaps you could try those steps before extract

1.Uninstall MKVToolNix and MKVcleaver

2.Change the language for non-unicode programs to Chinese in contral panel then reboot

3.Delete folder "MKVcleaver" in user dir

4.Install MKVToolNix and MKVcleaver

[hello_hello]

Would it be possible for a future version of MKVcleaver to use MediaInfo to obtain any audio stream delay and write it to the file name when extracting? Similar to the way DGIndex does it when extracting the audio from vob files etc. It'd be handy to have it automated rather than need to manually check each MKV with MediaInfo after extracting the audio.

Cheers.

I was only able to reproduce similar issue twice out of 30 tests. Not sure yet of the cause.

Hi Mobius1,

Q: If 0.5.0.4 MKVcleaver with MKVToolnix 5.2.1 works why even bother to change to Cleaver 0.6.0.2? Just Curious!

Thanks!

G! :)

[Keiyakusha]

Happens to me X times out of X tests. In my case its a Japanese windows, not Chinese. If it's not like that for you, perhaps what you reproduced is some other issue. Impossible to use MKVcleaver at all, unless I move everything to the root of the drive.

[sheck]

Keiyakusha,

Can you post the output from one of the problem files here (just copy the info from MKVCleaver):

http://einsof-haras.ca/screenshots/mkvcleaver_screen1.png

Also, can you post the output of mkvcleaver -i command for the same file.

Thanks.

[Keiyakusha]

Sorry, I'm not sure that I understand what are you talking about... I saw the post by mobius1 and It looked similar to what I'm experiencing. If I try to process file that have non-english characters in name/path, MKVcleaver simply hangs and I have to kill the process. I have no output of any kind that I can post.

Keiyakusha,

Just add a problem file to MKVcleaver, double right click on the file inside MKVcleaver and then just paste the information here.

Then run mkvmerge -i <filename> in a command line and post the output here.

I need this information to try to solve the issue.

In other words you need mediainfo information?
Also, after all you want run mkvmerge -i <filename> not mkvcleaver -i <filename> （　´∀｀）

Here. But honestly I don't see what info here can be useful for you...

Hi Sheck,

I've the same problem here, but I've figure out why.

From the "mkv_cmd1.txt", the non-ASCII characters all become ????, that means MKVCleaver compile with non-Unicode binary, it may be library or something else, this is very common for the developers in US or German since they didn't use Unicode characters in their computer.

[krmit]

exactly. it don't like russian characters in path too.

[Dark Eiri]

I can't seem to open any WebM files downloaded from youtube ):

Cleaver says it's not recognized as a Matroska file.
