MkvТоMp4 v0.224 - rapid tool for repack Mkv to Mp4

[mimic]

I just went through and updated them.

Is it the program end of life oreons or are you planning an update?

Either way it's still working so all's not lost ;)

[Mr. Monte]

Could you upload the ones you have updated manually? I have not read up on how to update the various tools within MKVtoMP4 so I don't really know how to do it myself.

Here is the UPDATED COMPLETE package. Also, I have included text files in the tools subfolders so individuals can keep their tools updates.

All tools have been updated as of 08-18-2015

I'm guessing the author is not updating this SW.

I believe this to be true. The software's author (Oreons) seems to participate more often on his videohelp.com forum (http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/340675-Mkv%D0%A2%D0%BEMp4-v0-224-rapid-tool-for-repack-Mkv-to-Mp4), and in one of his latest responses (from Nov. 2014) he said the following:

"Now I have time only for bug fixes :("

The latest "bug" that I've observed is that when I upgraded to Windows 10, artwork no longer showed up for any of my searches. I downgraded back to Windows 7 and the artwork returned. This is something that I'll post in the videohelp forum, and hopefully Oreons will be able to find the time to address this.

[dror.sharon]

Ok....new weird error. May be associated with ios 8.1

The artwork looks fine in itunes. However, on my ipad it now is just a grey box with a clipart of a PC in the center.

Any ideas?:thanks:

This is an iTunes issue, not with the software itself. It happens to me with all TV shows no matter the origin.

Does the developer still check these forums? Because there are several issues with Windows 10 and with the new HEVC format, which is not supported but videos are starting to pop up using it.

[Mr. Monte]

Unsure, I for one don't "plan" to move to H265 (HEVC) until Western Digital or someone comes out with a good video player that plays movies from a external USB port and supports MKV, ISO formats.

I own 3 WDTV Lives..one of the best...if you ask me

[Gurn]

I also have the WDTV issue as folks using almost any of these type of devices must.

Is it possible to manually update this program to support decoding H.265?

For me program is obsolete. Probably not live to see a new version.

Convert MP4 to Matroska I understand the use, but Matroska to conteiner MP4 is nonsense.
It should be Matroska VP8/VP9/H264/H265/PCM/AC3/AAC to MOV, but that is my opinion.
Reflection on the theme covers, pictures, artwork, add-item, attachment, font described at the forum.filmowiec.pl (http://filmowiec.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=28371&start=30) and conversion should be done manually. The reason is simple. Very often the programs are updated, but it doesn't always work correctly. These additives aren't interactive because video players don't support photo formats. Subtitles ASS are still treated as pirated. It doesn't support this Windows 10 or Cyberlink PowerDirector 14. I will probably never be implemented.

[Gurn]

I've been updating the components found in the tools folder and haven't been able to find an updated GSConv.exe, does anyone know of a current source for GSConv.exe?

Thanks so much for making this updated version -- this tool is exactly what I want... apart from one thing: It doesn't recognize Vobsub subtitles :(

Does anyone know how I can take some mkv files I've created and switch them to mp4... while keeping the subtitles??

[Visor]

Agreed, given that the author (Oreons) has been MIA for a few years now. This is still the most robust MKV to MP4 remuxer out there, with full metadata support among other things. It worked best on Windows 7 (and maybe 8?), and I'm seriously considering creating a VM install of Windows 7 just to regain full functionality of this app, as it's proven to be too buggy in Windows 10 for me.


Convert MP4 to Matroska I understand the use, but Matroska to container MP4 is nonsense.
Actually, MP4 is not nonsense, and you'll find it to be the most commonly supported container in most HD-capable playback devices, including as cell phones, tablets, game consoles, etc. This is because the MP4 container is a formal standard that was developed by the Moving Pictures Experts Group (MPEG). Many media companies support this container because of DRM features among other things.

Matroska / MKV containers, while much more robust, are open-source, with standards set outside of the MPEG group. Since media companies are not fond of unregulated technology (including lack of DRM), they generally avoid it for these reasons.

Since my wife and I own an assortment of iPads and Apple TVs, it makes sense to build an MP4 collection that supplements our MKV collection where needed.

P.S. I'm aware that there are apps out there that allow you to remux MKV files on the fly for iPads, iPhones, etc., but they tend to drain the devices' batteries rather quickly, and don't exactly have perfect output (e.g. NPlayer drops a frame once every 10 seconds).


It should be Matroska VP8/VP9/H264/H265/PCM/AC3/AAC to MOV, but that is my opinion.

Why on Earth would you want to use the MOV container format in this day and age? The MOV container was developed by Apple for their (now rapidly aging) QuickTime Player. It was the predecessor to MP4, not its successor or competitor. Nowadays, MP4 is the industry standard and has more widespread support than MOV.

It should change. Supposedly Apple joined the team google. Can replace in the future, iPad and Apple TVs. ;) In Poland iPads aren't popular so problem solved.

This isn't the sense of the problem. MP4 container has limitations rip Bluray, but Matroska is not. This allows you to transfer Bluray on YouTube without menus.

PS And what do subtitles, joining videos, adding attachment and photos. How add metadata of files, information GPS from the cameras in the MP4 container. :stupid:

Both containers were created in the war of worlds between Apple and Microsoft. If I had to convert Matroska is obvious to me that the MOV. More codecs, you can post. It is that the older and cheaper models of household appliances do not support MOV to the customer's problem, what in China has bought.
Eg. Sony has created his XAVCS and likewise I doubt that omnifarious hardware is supported. Advertising is, buy Sony equipment.

[Visor]

Umm... no they didn't. Do you see Apple switching from iOS to Android? Of course not. Let's see your source, buddy.

In Poland iPads aren't popular so problem solved.
So what? Poland has ~39 million people. North America alone has ~580 million. What happens to the iPad market in Poland (let alone the rest of the world) has no bearing on the popularity of video container formats in the world. Oh, and I couldn't help but notice you were just talking about iPads, not iPhones, Apple TVs, smart TVs, and other devices that potentially only support MP4 over MKV.

This isn't the sense of the problem. MP4 container has limitations rip Bluray, but Matroska is not.

Let's set the record straight here: I'm not knocking the Matroska/MKV container whatsoever; as I hinted in my previous post I have an MKV collection that greatly outnumbers my MP4 collection. I'm well aware of MP4's limitations when compared to MKV. What we're talking about here is MP4 vs MOV.

This allows you to transfer Bluray on YouTube without menus.
I have no idea what you're talking about. Are you saying you like copying Blu-ray movies up to YouTube? Or copying them down from YouTube onto Blu-ray? Oh, who cares? This has no bearing on our discussion.

PS And what do subtitles, joining videos, adding attachment and photos. How add metadata of files, information GPS from the cameras in the MP4 container. :stupid:
MP4 supports subtitles, metadata, file editing, etc. Just sayin'.

Both containers were created in the war of worlds between Apple and Microsoft.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. What does Microsoft have to do with the MP4 and MOV containers? MOV was created by Apple, and MP4 was built on that foundation by the MPEG group. There was no competition intended, as even Apple uses the MP4 container format in its iTunes store. The only thing I can think of regarding competition is you're maybe referring to the WMV container format. But what does WMV have to do with what we're talking about?

If I had to convert Matroska is obvious to me that the MOV. More codecs, you can post.
I don't understand your broken English, and at this point I don't really care. But since you're such a fan of the MOV container format, maybe you should read this article to set things straight:

http://www.differencebetween.net/technology/difference-between-mov-and-mp4/

You'll notice in that article how it talks about the MOV container being a proprietary format to Apple, which contradicts your comment about how your problem was solved because iPads were no longer popular in Poland. Umm... so why are you so excited about the supposed demise of one of Apple's products in your country?

It is that the older and cheaper models of household appliances do not support MOV to the customer's problem, what in China has bought.
Eg. Sony has created his XAVCS and likewise I doubt that omnifarious hardware is supported. Advertising is, buy Sony equipment.
So do you consider Apple and Sony products "cheap household appliances from China"? Wow... seriously, wow.

:stupid:<Sigh>... I'm done trying to explain things to you. You go back to your world of trying to use MOV on non-Apple products, and I'll go the sane route of using MKV for my home theatre and MP4 for my devices that don't support MKV. It's why I came to this thread in the first place: to learn about and to use the MkvToMp4 program. What's your excuse?

It's problem Apple, no my.
I see containers that can be added to the Android TV. The question is whether it works properly, which accessories to this need, eg. bus interface card. The task of of such a question in Poland seller is pointless.

Oh, and I couldn't help but notice you were just talking about iPads, not iPhones, Apple TVs, smart TVs, and other devices that potentially only support MP4 over MKV.
That's not true
What we're talking about here is MP4 vs MOV.
Some people say the same thing. Obsolete containers.
I say not the same containers. Even the audio codec PCM is not the same.

Bluray "copy" it's main advertising Matroska. The rest of the additives which, moreover, only work with lavfilters and probably in Cyberlink.
MP4 supports subtitles, metadata, file editing, etc. Just sayin'.
Tragedy. I don't really recommend it.

That is my opinion and not only in Poland about the global market mov or mp4.

The only thing I can think of regarding competition is you're maybe referring to the WMV container format. But what does WMV have to do with what we're talking about?
ASF container I don't bother.
On the market are files WMV. The problem with that recorded movies for example VHS or network that have poor quality. Here we aren't talking now about the final container.
But since you're such a fan of the MOV container format, maybe you should read this article to set things straight:

http://www.differencebetween.net/tec...n-mov-and-mp4/
Most, if not all media players, that are available in various operating systems support this file format. Even in hand held devices like video players and gaming devices, you are more likely to find MP4 capabilities than MOV.
Camera manufacturer Canon isn't disowned MOV. And what did you do?

Sony is from China, Apple probably also. They aren't cheap, but there is a vast amount of cheap webcams sports. Everyone has their standards of strange and generally poor quality.

What's your excuse?
Do not read too much on the forum doom9 because little attainment. Read books. ;)

It's been good on Windows 10 for me. What problems have you had?

Thanks a lot for this package, very useful... :thanks:

I had to learn the hard way that it is a bad idea to update MediaInfo and Mp4Box.


Cheers

Inspired by Rat O.o's package I assebled another package for users of WinXP and a computer with a Non-SSE2 CPU... :D

It is version 0.222 where all tools are updated as of July 2018 to the very latest versions which work under WinXP SP3 and a Non-SSE2 CPU (older Athlons). Download from here:

https://files.videohelp.com/u/172211/MkvToMp4_0222_Updated%20July%202018.zip

These are the tools which MUST NOT BE UPDATED for such ancient computers and Operating Systems:

DelayCut
FFMS2
FFMPEG
CoreAudioToolbox (the qtfiles folder)
MediaInfo
Mp4Box
X264
MKVExtract

Agree.

[cafevincent]

What tool should I use if I want to put x265 video from mkv to mp4 without recoding?

[manolito]

Unfortunately MkvToMp4 does not handle HEVC video. If you load a HEVC clip, it always insists to reencode it to AVC

But there are other (less sophisticated) tools to repack a HEVC clip in an MKV container to MP4. FFmpeg can do it (use a GUI like dmMediaConverter if you are uncomfortable with the command line). AviDemux also does it (though I could not get the MP4v2 muxer to work).

What absolutely refused to work for me was YAMB (GUI for MP4Box).

[SeeMoreDigital]

What tool should I use if I want to put x265 video from mkv to mp4 without recoding?Out of interest... Why do you want to re-mux to the .mp4 container. What playback device are you using?

[cafevincent]

Out of interest... Why do you want to re-mux to the .mp4 container. What playback device are you using?

I am trying to make an animated wallpaper with Wallpaper Engine. It does not accept matroska, like most editors.

Plus seeing the tags available to MP4 I now want to remux my entire collection. I really, really need tags. I currently use filebot to fill the filename with "tags" and a lot of useful information has to be left out.
