mkvinfo - endless output to cli under Windows 7 x64

[mbcd]

Hello,

im having problems with mkvinfo in cli-mode.
Using it even with the switches -s or -t gives me an endless output which overloads the whole consolewindow. Using the GUI under Windows 7 x64 does not show any problems.

I only wanted to have an detailed overviev of tracks inside an mkv.
Anyone can help? a bug?

Regards
Marco

It's not a bug, it works exactly as I want it to. If you don't add any switch mkvinfo will only parse up to the first cluster. If you add at least one "-v", "-s" or "-t" then it will parse the whole file. "-s" and "-t" only toggle certain pieces of information or the aggregation thereof.

If you only want to know which tracks are present then a much, much better way is to use mkvmerge's identification mode: "mkvmerge --identify-verbose yourfile.mkv". That's what mmg does when you add a file to it, too.

Sorry Mosu,

I missinterpreted the explanation completly, my fault, I´m sorry :stupid:

Thanks for your tip, its exactly what I wanted, because I want to remove unwanted languages from my files, and therefor I need the track-IDs fron that languages.

Thanks for your help, and a much bigger thanks for your hard work to MKV ... :thanks:
