Hi Folks,

We are developing MKV DirectShow Muxer + Splitter.

Here is first beta version of the demuxer:
www.solveigmm.com/files/utils/SMM_MKVSplitter.zip

Abilities:
- Accepts input MKV files
- Parses Video/Audio/Subtitles
- Can output Annex B AVC VES stream, so it can be played back separately

Please post here all the problems you will encounter with the splitter.
Thanks In advance.

The Muxer is on the way...

What are the main differences compared to Haalis spitter/Muxer ?

Hi CruNcher,
Well, it is hard to say about differences. We are making Matrosska workflow for our editing purposes, so probably it can be usefull for somebody else.

One of the differences at the moment, is an ability to dump playable ACV VES wiht the Splitter

I have a Windows XP SP2 computer. I have downloaded the 2 files above and extracted the ax files to c:\1tmp

when I try to register either of them from the run prompt i.e. using:
regsvr32 "c:\1tmp\SMM_MKVSplitter.ax"

I get an RegSvr32 error pop up which states:

LoadLibrary("C:\1tmp\SMM_MKVSplitter.ax") failed - The specified module could not be found.

I've just tried using procmon from Microsoft (as they no longer have filemon available) and scanning the log to find out what file is missing
but none the wiser.

Hmm, finally got it to work!

It needs the file MSVCR71.DLL

I found a copy on my system by searching, in C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin

I copied MSVCR71.DLL from there into C:\WINDOWS\system32

Then registering both SMM_MKVMuxer.ax & SMM_MKVSplitter.ax worked straight away !!! :D

Hi video_magic,
Yes, the binaries have been compilled with MSVCR71.DLL, so having it they should be registered correctly.

Please let us know any problem, note or feature request you may consider using these splitter/muxer filters.

Hello, I just tried it on an MKV H264 video in Media Player Classic HC 1.3.1821.0
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 720x416 25.00fps [Video 0]

The splitter filter loads without any problem & it plays fine, except seeking backwards or forwards results in a shimmering macroblocking streaking the picture for a couple or several seconds before the picture plays smoothly or normally.

Overall very pleased with the splitter, thanks.

Hello, I did not do anything special. I had just registered your splitter as normal described above using regsvr32 (from the run command).

Later on while I was playing an mkv in Media Player Classic Home Cinema, if I looked under Play - Filters it shows SolveigMM Matroska Splitter

Here is a screen shot showing the shimmering, blockiness which happens for a few seconds after I jump to any position in the film by clicking on the seek bar. http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/1036/halfbloodprincemkvsnaps.jpg

Hi,

Also, are you planning on supporting muxing TrueHD and DTS-HD MA to mkv?

If so, the ability to retain the TrueHD AC3 core would be great. MKVMerge removes the Ac3 core.

Which decoder do you use while playing? Does this problem occure on this specific file or other files too?

If only on this file could you upload it somewhere?

video_magic

17th May 2010, 13:31

Hello, it shows under Play - Filters - MPC Video Decoder.

I recently put a 'standalone filters pack' in the filters subfolder of MediaPlayerClassic. Actually I would normally have used a recent FFDshow-Tryouts for H264 video, bit surprised to just notice that wasn't loading but was using an MPC internal decoder instead.

This file is too big to upload, I will try others later when I get some time.

the chapters: If it will be popular and useful feature we will. What player/software do you use to get mkv chapters benefits?

TrueHD and DTS-HD MA: We try to support most codecs specified by matroska.org (http://www.matroska.org/technical/specs/codecid/index.html) there is DTS, and SMM splitter supports it. I will check out DTS-HD MA to implement support in our splitter.

If SMM splitter will support TrueHD and DTS-HD MA, i think muxer will do it too.

Re: my earlier post. I have now upgraded Media Player Classic HC to the newer build 1.3.1881.0
,and changed to using the recent FFDShow-Tryouts build to decode H264 (ffdshow_rev3435_20100512_sse_icl11.exe), instead of an MPC filter.

Now what happens is I don't get the shimmering blocking for a few seconds after seeking, but instead when I seek the picture frame 'freezes' for a couple of seconds or so and then catches up with the audio.

I am going to try the newer MKV filters you are posting in this thread.

Hello, I can confirm that with the new splitter version 1.0.1005.19 the 'pausing after seeking' problem is almost gone.

It still pauses noticeably (this is on my fast system) for just 1 second maybe a little less, but not a problem for me.
This is a very good splitter, thankyou.

Hello video_magic,
Thank you for your help!

Concerning Pause, it is important to figure out if it the Splitter problem or not.

Do you still test it with MPC? Could you check MPC without our Splitter with the same stream to say if it is better or same?

Regarding MKV chapters, they work as standard when using mpc matroska splitter and haali media splitter. Players such as MPC-HC use them.

Thanks

Previous versions were splitter.ax files which had to be registered but new version is an exe, i mean it's a software.

But it wasn't the response of my question.

Hello, yes still using Media Player Classic HC new build.
I successfully unregistered your filter (regsvr32 /u C:\1tmp\SMM_MKVSplitter.ax)

I then installed the newest Haali Splitter build from today 20-05-10 (v1.10.175.0)!

This new Haali Matroska splitter worked fine without the brief pause after each seek, in Media Player Classic HC.

dtshd-ma sample:

thd sample:

http://www.mediafire.com/?5rjhgj1wyzk

(btw thd mkv doesn't include ac3 core but thd alone since mkvmerge can not mux them together. On the other hand with graph method Haali or Gabest mkvmuxer can mux only ac3 core while the source file is thd+ac3 -demuxed via eac3to.)

dtshd-ma sample: plays and seeks well without any problems using "ffdshow video decoder",
may be it's disfunction of "microsoft dtv-dvd video decoder" (Win7 tweak tool will help "http://www.codecguide.com/windows7_preferred_filter_tweaker.htm")

thd sample: I've added "A_TRUEHD" audio support to splitter. SMM_MatroskaSplitter (version - 1.0.1005.27) (http://www.solveigmm.com/files/utils/SMM_MKVSplitter.zip)

I'm curious about this one to. MKVMerge and MakeMKV both remove the core AC3 file from a TrueHD soundtrack. I would love to be able to keep, so TrueHD behaviour is the same as DTS-HD! You then have automatic AC3 bitstream backup... automatic in the fact that you don't have to select a separate track.

Also, this is probably a stupid question, but how do you use a muxer when it's a .ax file on it's own? I'm only used to using a complete solution like MKVMerge.

Cheers

Also, this is probably a stupid question, but how do you use a muxer when it's a .ax file on it's own? I'm only used to using a complete solution like MKVMerge.

No muxer allows you to mux seperate files on Graph afaik.
I use Graph things for remux. (GraphEdit or GraphStudio)

Ideally for every separate files *.h264 or *.thd should connect to any muxer via file source (Async) filter.
But no chance.

So finally for Gabest or Haali, you may connect any m2ts via Gabest or Haali Source filter to any muxer; since both filters are source/splitter filter as well and also muxing filters are muxer/file writer.

http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/71306fb667.png (http://www.freeimagehosting.net/)

But for Solveig: it's not a source filter, just a splitter by alone. So you have to use File Source (Async) before.
And also, Solveig muxer is not a combined filter like Haali or Gabest, so you have to use File Writer Filter after muxing.
And it's just an mkv splitter and this time the source file must be an mkv:

http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/660735af5c.png (http://www.freeimagehosting.net/)

But my trials showed me today DTSHD-MA mkv can be muxed with Solveig muxer but while playing the remuxed file, i got this:

http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/7beb8cf9df.png (http://www.freeimagehosting.net/)

And i couldn't remux a THD mkv since Graphthings crashed while muxing.

Yes, it puts data to container as is and marks it as ac3. No parsing for now.

Second, is it possible to give m2ts support to splitter?

You can remux m2ts to mkv and then play it by splitter. What did you mean m2ts support?

But my trials showed me today DTSHD-MA mkv can be muxed with Solveig muxer but while playing the remuxed file, i got this:

Thanks for information this will be resolved soon.

Could you construct graph in graphedit or graphstudio (as described here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1403941#post1403941) ) and render only video pin without audio and vice versa. And post if it works. This will help me to diagnose the problem.

The question is no muxer can create a mkv which includes thd+ac3.
On the other hand we need a mkv source file for remuxing since no muxer does accept seperate files as source files. (on Graph things.)
So, for testing we don't have any sample in our hands as an mkv. (which includes thd+ac3)

You can remux m2ts to mkv and then play it by splitter. What did you mean m2ts support?

OK, let me tell what i'm trying to do:

Create a m2ts via TSMuxer using h264 and thd+ac3 raw files extracted by eac3to.
Split with Solveig m2ts splitter and remux to mkv via Solveig mkv muxer.
My expectation is to create an mkv which includes a thd+ac3 file. (even renamed as ac3-doesn't matter.)

And i was trying to ask if it is gonna be possible to use Solveig mkv splitter as an m2ts splitter (like Haali) as well or do i need to use the splitter.ax of Solveig splitter-editor?

rica

1st June 2010, 00:16

When I open the MKV in Graphedit it shows 'Some of the streams in this movie are in an unsupported format'. Which is odd since Haali Media Splitter plays it fine.

I remuxed a short peice with a 10M split and it played fine. I can only assume it's something to do with the size is causing Solvieg a problem.

What are the main streams inside the mkv?

oddball

1st June 2010, 00:39

What are the main streams inside the mkv?
AVC1 video, DTS Core, .ass subtitle, 1080 res font and chapters.

AVC1 video, DTS Core, .ass subtitle, 1080 res font and chapters.

I think it doesn't recognize subtitle.
Remux it without subtitle and try again.(or maybe chapters as well?)
Don't forget developers trying to explore the deficiencies.
This is why we are trying.

OK even i've been a licensed user of both Solveig and Elecard, i didn't remember what you were using in your splitter-editor: it was Elecard splitter.

EDIT: I'll give it a try with Gabest/Haali Source filter as splitter and Solveig muxer filter as muxer.

LAST EDIT: I gave it a go with Gabest with DTSHD m2ts but Solveig needs an audio decoder this time like Cyberlink audio decoder.
As for Haali: i gave it a try with thd+ac3 m2ts. This time Haali works but Solveig muxer/splitter can not.

Yes, we use Elecard splitter for m2ts in splitter-editor. If you provide this m2ts sample we can redirect it to elecard support team (or you can post on elecard forum (http://www.elecard.com/forum/index.php?board=67.0) yourself).

Mkv splitter demux only mkv (no m2ts).

If you got it work with Gabest which output guid it provides for audio(why it needs audio decoder)? Anyway it will be more fast resolving if you post a sample of m2ts.

Remuxing without the subtitles, fonts and chapters made no difference. It still will not play. I really belive it's a problem with large VC1 files and your splitter myself. x264 MKV's play fine.

Does this splitter support subtitles, and specifically track selection for audio/subs (or is this not a function of the splitter)?

Yes it supports subtitles, but there is no track selection yet. It's intended for development purposes e.g. using with graphedit or graphstudio where you can render track which you need. May be in future this feature will be implemented as for Haali splitter using trayicon.

BUT for some players as for "Media Player Classic - Home Cinema" you can switch subtitles tracks using "Play->Subtitles" and "Play->Filters->ffdshow Audio Decoder" for audio (if you use ffdshow for audio tracks).

Also, regarding the muxer, will it create mkv chapters, say from a text file containing chapter info?

May be in future... but as for muxer i think there is no reason to prepare chapters before file was muxed.
There should be program that allows to add and edit chapters entries on existing mkv.

If you think another way, could you provide some situations where this function is needed in muxer?

Also, are there any plans to allow the selection of subtitles as default and forced (always on), like in mkvmerge?

There are heads and data. In libmatroska element with default data aren't written by default according to sample but thereare heads of the elements. This was done for backward compatibility. Mandatory element means element should be and it is. But it's data can be missed if it has default value.

But YOU was right. The elements in head should be written anyway even if they have default values. Just redownload muxer (http://www.solveigmm.com/files/utils/SMM_MKVMuxer.zip)and will see in text editor word "matroska".

Precisely.

Going around in circles trying to get DTS MA & DTS MA (core only) working properly in WMC 7 (64-bit) without constant audio drop-outs etc. No definitive answers at the moment. However, most folk seem to think ffdshow is the problem. Would still be good to try an alternative to either Gabtest or Haali though.

Are you going to implement a way to handle:
1- Set the prefered language or at least respect the "default" track flag if it's set to "Yes". This is for audio and subtitles tracks
2- Respect the "subtitles forced flag", this means automatically select the subtitles tracks with the forced flag set AND subtitles language == selected audio track language

I tried using the filter in MPC-HC yesterday, but i couldn't get it to work at all. I registered it, and disabled all other MKV demuxers. When MPC-HC tried to open a MKV file, it just froze, and windows terminated it shortly after due to not responding at all anymore.

Is there something i can do to debug this further? Is it supposed to work in MPC-HC yet? ;)

The same behavior occurs on all your files or on specific one?
smm mkv splitter Filter is implemented not as source, so there can be that other filters(may be not mkv demuxers only) can try to open this file. If this occurs on all your files you can try to find which by unregistering demuxers one by one. Or if it is on specific file, i'll need that file to diagnose the problem in smm mkv splitter. Anyway if it's problem of smm mkv splitter it will occure on other files soon and will be fixed.

That is probably because the splitter can't do that. It is the subtitle renderer that must support forced subs. Afaik, forced subtitles aren't in a separate track, but a subtitle track can contain both forced and non-forced subs.

Regarding adding chapters using the muxer... if you use mkvmerge for instance to add chapters, i've got a feeling it's going to remove the ac3 core from TrueHD. I'll test.

Would be really handy to be able to import a text file (like the chapter text file that's created using eac3to from a blu-ray disc) that contains chapter info.

Forget the DTS-HD MA thing for now. I remade it with the latest version of mkvmerge and now it's playing fine. But, I'm not getting the subs to show up. Would that happen if the PGS subs are compressed? ffdshow can see the sub tracks, but, they never get displayed. mkvmerge compresses them by default so I'm wondering if that's throwing off the splitter?

rica

6th July 2010, 00:10

Ok. Just had a go with this. Using the 32 bit version, it splits nicely and ffdshow can see the PGS subs. (It still doesn't get the concept of default/no defaults but I'll deal with that with later). However, with DTS-HD MA tracks, bitstreaming is giving me a horrible constant BUZZ noise. I don't get that with the other splitters. Um, hmm, hang on. It's only happening with the ones created with mkvmerge. It's not happening with MakeMKV created files. Just kill me now. Is there anyway you can look into this issue? Thanks!

OK samuri.

The question is you've tested a premade mkv file, not any other created by solveig muxer, correct?

BTW i've already given it a go and couldn't link subtitle output pin to solveig muxer's input pin. (graph chain was MPC-mpeg source > SS mkv muxer > file writer)
So i can not create pgs including mkv files with ssmkvmuxer for the time being.

So testing solveig splitter with a mkv file created by any other muxer is not the right method for now. (check my latest thread)
DTSHD-MA tracks muxed via ssmuxer works very well with sssplitter in my case; you may find my sample file here.

OK samuri.

The question is you've tested a premade mkv file, not with any created by solveig muxer, correct?

BTW i've already given it a go and couldn't link subtitle output pin to solveig muxer's input pin. (graph chain was MPC-mpeg source > SS mkv muxer > file writer)

Right, I'm using mkvmerge to create my files. After remaking it, the DTS issue seemed to go away. (Maybe he fixed something in 4.11...I've been away for a few days). I'm remaking it yet again with PGS sub compression off to see if I can get PGS subs working. I still have been too lazy to use the muxer. If there was a quick and easy UI for it I'd give it a shot but since there isn't I haven't gotten there yet. If I had time I'd write my own but I've not worked with graph code before so it'd take me a while to muddle through it.

Hi,
you will just register the *.ax files.

should i put everything on win/wow64 folder and register the .ax, what this .dll files are for

again thanks for you help

And don't bother putting them in the windows dir. Just make a folder for them somewhere else, keeping all the files in the same folder, and just register the ax file. I created bat files to register/unregister them so I can easily switch between splitters. :)

Ok, remade it yet again with mkvmerge 4.11 and this time told it not to compress the PGS subs with zlib. Now they're displaying fine. Can this get added on the todo list? VLC has a similar issue but it would be nice if compressed subs were supported to save a little space. Thanks so much!

Yea, I saw that thread. 4.1.1 is much better IMO. He's done a lot of work with it. Now I know how to make them so they work using SMM splitter. So this is very sweet. Another option to play with. :) However, ffdshow still doesn't notice the default flag so there's some work to be done. (For instance, if I mux it and set NONE of the PGS subs to be default, I don't want subs just magically enabled for no reason.) Nonetheless, this is great.

The filter is currently implemented as a splitter. May I suggest adding a source filter? That would allow setting it as preferred source filter through this key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Media Type\Extensions
That's particularly useful when multiple splitters are installed. Then you can easily switch between them if needed.

That would be great.

Also, how is mkv chapter markers looking? Is the muxer capable of creating them yet. Also, is the splitter reading them?

Well, at the moment I don't think that is good idea. There was the moment when Haali splitter that wrote there own data, provided us with a grea headache, as standard source filter stopped to connect with stadnard AVI splitter.

I suppose you can increase splitter merit to make it more preferable instead.

7th July 2010, 10:27

Regarding mkv chapter markers, it would be a great idea to have a section in the muxer interface where you can load up a txt file (say created by eac3to) that contains the chapter markers. The muxer would then insert these marker in the mkv file. mkv chapter are pretty much standard now and all players (mpc-hc, etc) can read them and seek to them.

Here's a chapter marker sample from eac3to... http://www.mediafire.com/?itmmnnozrgj

You could also maybe read the chapter info direct from the video source, like a blu-ray's mpls file, or from a video only mkv file created by ripbot264?

Thanks!

It should have no effect at all on AVI, so I don't understand what you mean by that.
A user can set the GUID of his desired source filter in that key. Be it Haali, Gabest, or Solveig. So you can have all three installed, and change the desired one easily, without needing to mess with merits (which btw don't work reliably with source filters).
All you need to do is add a source filter, even if you personally don't want to use this registry key. So I don't understand your reasoning. See the Gabest filters. Those consist of both a source and a splitter. By default the splitter get used with the standard async file reader. The source filters only get used when forced.

Hi,
I gave a try to your splitter x64 build.
1- If there are several audio tracks, there are played simultaneously, several ffdshow audio instances are loaded
2- I succeeded to get srt subs but not PGS
3- Subs track are not very well identified in ffdshow, all are listed as "(english)" even it's another language
4- A choice "No subtitles" need to be added in the subs track list like Haali does, very useful to disable subs, and need to be selected by default if none of other subs track have their default flag set.

My test environment was Windows 7 x64 (French), Media Center as player, ffdshow 3498

11th July 2010, 19:46

Stanislav,

I think I've identified a slight issue. Mosu would be upset. :D I believe your splitter isn't supporting audio with header compression removal. When I create an MKV with mkvmerge, which now defaults to using header compression removal on audio tracks, ffdshow doesn't bitstream the audio properly and I get either low volume with a major high pitched buzz or just a high pitched buzz and nothing else. If I remake the MKV with compression turned off on the audio track, it plays fine. I realize that the "solution" appears to be to just make sure you turn off compression on all of them, but, Mosu is insistent that splitters and players fix this on their end because it's part of the matroska spec. I guess if you need info on this maybe shoot a pm over to Mosu. I'm guessing he'd be willing to point you in the right direction on how to implement it. He says it's easy and only requires a few extra lines of code. Man we software engineers are hilarious at times! :D Thanks!!

I'll contact Mosu to resolve this problem, but if you point more information about how this feature (header compression removal) is implemented this will help, because Mosu can be quite busy to assist this problem. You've mentioned that this is described in matroska spec could you point where exactly ?

I don't have that information unfortunately. I'm only repeating what Mosu has told us in the MKVMerge thread. That's why I recommend pm'ing him and asking if he has more info on it. I just know that if I have an MKV made with MKVMerge and I forget to select no compression on the audio track, Solveig splitter won't pass it correctly to ffdshow for bitstreaming. If I set the compression to no, it works. Mosu says this is header removal compression and is part of the spec. I'm taking his word on that as I really have no idea.

Wonderful! Thanks!!

Two other questions. I just want to see if either of these are on your todo list. :)

-Any way to read the default flag on each subtitle track and pass that along? For example, I don't want default on most subtitle tracks but it seems Solveig and MPC mkv splitter both disregard the default flag and pick the first track it finds.
-Any option to select the streams including an option for none? Haali has a neat little tray icon for this. This is less important than the default issue to me. Simply wondering if you had plans for anything like it.

Thanks so much!!

Hii there.

Firstly, I want to thank to all of you Guys for your hard work.

I am encoding HD movies. I have some questions.

1. I've read all post of this thread, and I understand that with your splitter I can play mkv files on my PC. Did you test created from your muxer mkv's on hardware MKV players like WDTV or PCH?
2. I am doing also 2in1 encodes - using Ordered Chapter Files integrated to MKV's. How we create these chapter files: please look at HERE (http://mod16.org/hurfdurf/?p=8) .

I'll test your splitter to play MKV files.

In the near future, I am planning to make 2in1 encodes again, and at this time, this encodes requires Haali Splitter.

Maybe implementation of this issues can do SMM Spliter more usefull for all of us.

Thanx in Advance...

Best Regards,

No, i didn't test it on any hardware, but there is mkv validator tool which i use to validate smm muxer output. If there are any problems with it - you can describe it, if i can help without any hardware i will.

2. I am doing also 2in1 encodes - using Ordered Chapter Files integrated to MKV's. How we create these chapter files: please look at HERE (http://mod16.org/hurfdurf/?p=8) .

What does "2in1" mean?

I've read about editions and ordered chapters. Thanks for link. This feature enables looping encoded fragment with providing virtual timeline. Splitter should position to real timeline according to virtual one which is shown in viewer. + there can be parts from other files in chapters. Is this an issue?

For now splitter can just display chapters in props no more. I will add this issue to roadmap.

doc_dvxm

30th July 2010, 14:31

You are wellcome Stan...

I'll test with my hardware MKV player, then I'll provide my results.

2in1 mean: In one encode you can find an Extended Cut (Default) & Theat Cut of one movie. With adding to MKV files Ordered chapters files we can determine which frames will be playing during viewing.

Cheerz.

Very nice filter. With advanced chapters support it would be quite competitive to haali splitter.

First spots:
- styled subtitles arent styled :) (these with additional fonts),
- when disable subtitles theres no effect, i need to seek to make them disappear, but enabling them back dont seem to show them again,
- none of stream has any name.

I will test some more in near future.

SamuriHL

2nd August 2010, 21:35

You need to add a title to the subtitles when authoring them. However, that being said, it should display the lang of the track which it's not doing. I need to remake one of mine and set the defaults to see if that's working. MakeMKV just sets the default and calls it good which is bad. In that case, I'd love to have SMM put in an option for "NONE" so we can select that and turn off subs without disabling it in ffdshow.

Right i havent give a titles to streams. However, empty place looks weird.

Default stream works ok.

SMM have option to disable subs, like in haali the last "no subs" always disables them. ..Oh enabled_back subtitles shows when checked default yes during muxing.

MKV file with header removal compression on h264 plays ok.

SMM has problems with zlib compressed streams. Any more work needed on it than on header removal?

Does that splitters shows PGS subs at all?

I'm not seeing an option to disable subs. I only get the one subtitle listed and that's it. What am I missing?

2nd August 2010, 22:51

Use MPC-HC go to Filters>>>SmmmatroskaSplitter, hover mouse over it and "menu" will appear. Then you see A/V/S info. Last position in Subs menu is No Subtitles. This one disables them. If you have more no named subs, all are "No sub".
Its just like in any other filter haali eg.

SamuriHL

2nd August 2010, 22:59

Except I'm not using MPC-HC. :) I'm using FFDSHOW for dxva, subs, and bitstreaming in WMP. And in ffdshow I only get the one subtitle and that's it.

I've tried SMM splitter several times now, and I always have the same issue:

For any files with TrueHD, I get no audio. Looking at my filters in MPC, it shows: EVR, MPC video decoder, SolveigMM Splitter... no ffdshow. Opening with GraphStudio shows the same: File Source -> SMM Splitter -> Video Decoder -> Video Renderer... no audio stream. DTSHD-MA works fine, and so does normal AC3.

Any clue as to what might be the problem? I have:
i3 530 (not using integrated GPU)
ATI 5750 GPU
W7 x64 (but using x32 ffdshow, SMM splitter, and MPC)
MPC-HC 1.3.2099
ffdshow rev. 3516

There are working sample files in this post
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1407432#post1407432
Does these samples work for you?

There can be that audio track's "Codec ID" has diffrent name if you don't have any audio track. Could you provide this value from MPC-hc in File->Properties, MediaInfo tab.

- styled subtitles arent styled :) (these with additional fonts),

This is fault of the filter that displays subtitles i suppose (ffdshow or other ) Render file in graph studio and check
that filter.

- when disable subtitles theres no effect, i need to seek to make them disappear, but enabling them back dont seem to show them again,

Yes, there are some problems when using ffdshow to display subtitles (e.g. haali doesn't use it - it inserts vobsubs filter) may be i'll do that too.

- none of stream has any name.

SMM splitter displays stream name which was set while muxing mkv file. If it was empty - nothing displayed. So there needs to add language of the track additionally to stream title. This will be done in next release.

Thanks for test it.

Because eventually I'd like to see the functionality mature a bit more so that you can disable the subs but still have it play forced subs that are detected within the disabled sub. This is what happens when playing a blu-ray, for example, and you have forced subs for a foreign language. (I.E. District 9). Yes, we can separate out the forced subs and make them default and all that, but, I'd like it to match what we already do on blu-ray.

There is some misunderstanding in my mind about Forced Flag, I thought that it like FlagDefault but provide one more level to override. Now I've understand that if track marked as Forced it MUST be played (like written in matroska spec :) ) This means, if subs are enabled and there is forced subs tracks, there will be 2 subtitles tracks to be played ?

There is need 2 lists to select subs (one for tracks without force flags and one for with it)?

If you have an opportunity to share that file or provide link - it will help.

Thanks for the response.

I tried the sample "THD_out.mkv" from the link you posted. I do get audio, and my A/V receiver shows TrueHD, but the sound is very choppy, and with static.

I checked the Codec ID from the MediaInfo tab as you instructed; it shows "A_TrueHD".

Also, in case this is any help, when I go to Filters->SolveighMM Splitter, it is showing both the video and audio streams.

Lastly, I have the same issue whether I use MPC or WMP - neither player will pass the TrueHD audio.

sorry guys but how do you select or disable subtitles on SMM i play Ip Man 2 MKV with PGS subtitles and i'm not getting any sub, im using 7mc to play my MKV, also vsfilters is no loading when playing mkv on mc using SMM Codes

thanks in advance

smm splitter for now doesn't use vsfilter. to enable subs if you use ffdshow open it's properties and check Subtitles to display.

smm splitter recognizes "A_TRUEHD", and your file contains "A_TrueHD" - this cause the the problem i suppose. can you use mkv validator (http://matroska.org/downloads/mkvalidator.html) tool and mkclean tool (http://matroska.org/downloads/mkclean.html)
The codecs spec (http://matroska.org/technical/specs/codecid/index.html) doesn't say anything about case sensivity and for now there is no A_TRUEHD at all.

Hmm. I downloaded the two tools, but I don't know how to extract/use them. They are filetype bz2?

Also, I found a workaround for my issue:

With the movie playing, I right click > filters > SMM Splitter > Properties. Then, Pin Info > [OUT] Audio 0. Under AM_MEDIA_TYPE, it shows "subtype: Unknown GUID Name {EB27CEC4-163E-4CA3-8B74-8E25F91B517E}"

I pasted that GUID into ffdshow's Media subtype, and ffdshow loaded.:)

The only problem then was that Reclock was trying to load, so I had to select in ffdshow "Connect to 'DirectSound'" instead of "Any filter". After changing the "Connect to" setting, Reclock no longer loads, and everything works fine now.

If you can show me how to extract the tools you mentioned, I certainly don't mind. I'd like to help in any way I can.

EDIT: Took another look at the tools and noticed the binary download - I'll run each of them and let you know the results.

There is some misunderstanding in my mind about Forced Flag, I thought that it like FlagDefault but provide one more level to override. Now I've understand that if track marked as Forced it MUST be played (like written in matroska spec :) ) This means, if subs are enabled and there is forced subs tracks, there will be 2 subtitles tracks to be played ?

No, that's not how it should work in my mind. If a subtitle track contains forced subs, the forced subs should play even if the subs are set to none. If the track is selected, then ALL the subs in that subtitle track should play. (In PGS subs, you can have both forced and non-forced subs in the same subtitle track...they are simply flagged as such). Most of us are extracting the subs with forced flag inside a regular subtitle into a separate subtitle track containing just the forced subs. This is fine and we can continue that route no problem. I guess if we set that to default there really isn't a problem. In any case, what I was saying about forced subs embedded in a regular subtitle track is simply what happens when playing a blu-ray. A good example is District 9. They embed forced subs for foreign language inside the regular sub track. So if no subs are selected, just the forced subs from that track play. If the sub track is selected, then all the subs from that track play. If that can't be done in MKV, that's ok. I just thought it would be a useful feature. MakeMKV can extract the forced subs into a separate track, so, not a big deal.

OK, styled subtitles works. I found that ffdshow by default load external str sub and doesnt allow change stream to internal one. When i remove srt file, ffdshow load internal sub, but font is so big...

When i use ffdshow for DXVA and subs, in icon tray i see as no_named subtitle stream "A: ". Weird, It shouldt be "S: "? Bug of splitter or ffdshow?

Concerning forced flag. It can be set for any stream. Is it possible to play simultaneously two subs, or maybe two audio files?

cge

3rd August 2010, 17:19

Hi,
According to me the rules with default and forced subs flag should be:
1- If at least one track has default flag set then select this track (Highest priority and should override forced flag)
2- If forced flag is set then the splitter should automatically select the subs track with the same language as the current audio track (selected audio track), example if audio track is in French by default then select the forced French subs stream if exists (Else select "No subs"), if English audio stream get selected then automatically switch to the forced English subs stream if exists(Else select "No subs"), and so on.

That's exactly how I thought it should work too. Then, streams flagged "forced" would always load, and if no "forced" streams are found, then no subs are loaded. Also, the user always would have the option to override the flags, and select any stream.

SamuriHL

3rd August 2010, 17:32

I could go with that model.

Stanislav Mikhailenko

4th August 2010, 15:36

This from matroska spec:
Flag Default - Set if that track (audio, video or subs) SHOULD be used if no language found matches the user preference.
Flag Forced - Set if that track MUST be used during playback. There can be many forced track for a kind (audio, video or subs), the player should select the one which language matches the user preference or the default + forced track. Overlay MAY happen between a forced and non-forced track of the same kind.

Flags Are applied to tracks, not for separate samples.

SMM splitter displays stream name which was set while muxing mkv file. If it was empty - nothing displayed. So there needs to add language of the track additionally to stream title. This will be done in next release.

Language will certainly greatly improve it. What i would really love however would be to simply dump a quick format recap in there, like the MPC-HC internal MPEG splitter does.

Just show what codec, for video what resolution, for audio how many channels and possibly bitrate.

I have yet to encounter a file that actually had a track name set in the mkv.

Additionally, all subtitles did show "No Subtitles". For subs the language would be enough, i guess. Showing there if a subs track is "forced" would be good, i guess.

Short of the shortcomings in the dropdowns, it seems to work beautifully now. The "lag" during startup i reported before seems to be gone, good job guys. :)
Now if we just had a proper MPEG-TS splitter to go with this. Anyone have the full (and latest) MPEG-TS spec and wants to share, so i can work on it? :D

If you use mpc-hc menu Play->Filters->SMM MKV Splitter should show right tracks. Can't say anything about ffdshow.

This is also causing issues with Media Control inside Media Center. The Audio tracks are listed as subtitles and there are no subtitle tracks listed (although it plays the default one). The video track is also identified as an audio track at least in media control. All that being said....

WOW

I have been struggling getting adequate performance from my blu-ray rips with HD Audio bitstream. Your splitter is hands done the best of the bunch. Files that would stutter in MPC-HC's standalone filter or Haali play smooth as silk with yours. If it played nicer with Media Control to allow for audio and subtitle switching, it would be nirvana. I honestly can't believe there is not more discussion about your splitter. I am very pleased to have found it.

Guys i can't find a current source filter for muxing with Solveig.

New versions of Gabest splitter:

Either can not link the audio pin to muxer,

Or put MS DTV-DVD Audio decoder between source and muxer (for PCM), or put ffdshow audio decoder (for THD).

DTSHD-MA can be linked directly btw.

Dear developers, what do you suggest?

EDIT: Sorry, that's not the source filter issue; there must have been a problem on my PC: fixed.

The only issue left that i haven't been able to fixed is

about mkvtoolnix i've found only in src code:

t->a_formattag = 0x2000;

and seems it has the same format tag. But which guids of subtypes it needs i didn't find.

If you provide the proof link which subtype needs when A_AC3 is used and when A_EAC3 it will be good. For now it remains as is.

Can someone explain (or show me where to find the information) how to create an mkv with SMM Muxer?

1. You need to get Graph Studio or GraphEdit.
2. Register SolveigMM Muxer running "register.bat" in SMM_Matroska.zip (http://www.solveigmm.com/files/utils/SMM_Matroska.zip) (unpack it and don't delete and move unpacked files while use).
3. In Graph Studio Render File which you would like to convert to MKV

http://solveigmm.com/img/mkv_muxer/render_menu.jpg

You will get something like this.

http://solveigmm.com/img/mkv_muxer/render_file.jpg

4. Delete all Decoders and Render Filters to leave only splitter stuff.

Thank you SO much, Stanislav. I had figured it out up until I had to add the File Writer. When the window opened to enter the file name, I thought it was prompting me to browse for the file writer.:confused:

Finally, I can keep thd+ac3 inside mkv.:cool:

Any subtitle support yet?

Not yet, sorry.

I'm a little confused - your mpeg file
(Could you upload this mpeg sample somewhere?)
has:

subtype for pgs:

// {04EBA53E-9330-436c-9133-553EC87031DC}
DEFINE_GUID(MEDIASUBTYPE_HDMVSUB,
0x4eba53e, 0x9330, 0x436c, 0x91, 0x33, 0x55, 0x3e, 0xc8, 0x70, 0x31, 0xdc);

format_type: GUID_NULL

But the cge provided pgs mkv sample (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1450221#post1450221) with another one throw haali splitter:

subtype : GUID_NULL
format_type{A33D2F7D-96BC-4337-B23B-A8B9FBC295E9}

For now don't know what to do with this.

Could anyone provide refs for pgs and it's meditypes?

jmone,
Could you recheck on latest version. Does MC crash?
If it does, could you provide small mkv which is cause crashing.

Does it crash on any mkv?

If it crashes on any mkv file could you provide MC version info and codec pack you have installed to reproduce the problem on my side.

Thanks.

hehe i love that Fauxpas of the video btw ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Ukgyx3aXUL8#t=32s

or it is really cutting what the guy wished for and the mouse wanted something else 1:24 vs 1:32 minutes ;)

i would already have a funny idea for a video response ;)

Hi CruNcher,
Thank you for watching that! :) We are looking forward for a video response :)

Which movement you consider as faux?
Starting form 1.09 it gows instuction how to delete selected fragments.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Ukgyx3aXUL8#t=69s

So we find those two fragments, and to delete them from video we should invert timeline (that is easiest way) as timeline works with fragments to be kept. something like that :)

The faux is that you advertise with the intro of "get out a wished sequence" but that whats previewed as the cut the user wishes to get and the result don't match in any ways ;) (which seems because you allow to preview any selected area but in the end are bound to the start of the next or previous GOP I frame (in this Mpeg-4 Part 2 Hockey Sample)). That the application allows to preview something which will in the end not be the result but the next or previous gop is not really nice if you can't do it frame accurate then also preview what the output will be not what the user wished for ;) Or easy said fix the slider to only jump to the nearest gop so the user doesn't get blended with the false assumption he can cut everywhere and what he wants ;)
