mkvtoolnix (Matroska toolkit): new release

[filewalker]

I have an idea to solve it manually but I have one problem.

Concerning 2part of the movie:
I converted the OGM to MKV with splitt at 1400M.
(the chapters are from the first part 1-10)

Now I converted again the second part, but without the splitt option to get all chapters(1-20), as they are in the OGM (to load the chapters later into chapter editor).

Now I opened the MKV (converted with the splitting option), then I loaded the chapters from the MKV (without splitting)into the chapter editor and deleted 1-10, so that 11-20 were left in the chapter editor, and muxed it.

Despite the attempt to overwrite the chapters, the chapters 1-10 were visible (instead 11-20). :confused:

Is it bug or is it not possible with the chapter editor to load chapters(from a MKV), edit them, and overwrite the old chapters?

Things that come to mind are (in random order):
1) Proper support for native B frame handling,
2) Support for appending files,
3) Support for processing only parts of a file (e.g. from timecode x to timecode y),
4) Support for reading MPEG4 video from MP4 files (depends on 1)),
5) Rewrite mmg to support Unicode enabled versions of wxWindows and thus allowing the use of Unicode in all fields,
6) Add a tag editor to mmg (similar to the chapter editor - it should be able to edit tags in Matroska files and XML tag files that can be used with mkvmerge),
7) Fix bugs,
8) Produce new bugs...

The problem with 1-5 is that they're very time consuming. 6 might happen sooner. Maybe 3, too.

Any wishes/suggestions?

Apart from that - what I want to program next is probably a Matroska output module for transcode, a Linux/Unix video processing tool.

Well i wait for 2) ;) and hope that when merging files (ex. episodes from a serie) have the option to make atomaticaly the chapters from the file names.

Thanks for your response!
Keep the good work and the help you are giving to every one using Matroska!
Thanks.

I tested again, but I have no luck.

I think I now know where the problem is:

The second part of the movie begins with 00:00:00.
If I load chapters in the chapter editor and delete the chapters of the first part of the movie, chapter 11(first chapter of part two) starts at timecode 01:14:23.

It looks like that MKVmerge can't fit both together because of the different timecodes.

So my idea was bullshit if I thought that just deleting the chapters 1-10 from the chapterlist is enough.

I think that I have to correct the timecodes of each chapter manaully (start at 00:00:00)

Thanks for your time!


BTW: :)
What I miss is a button for "closing" the current project to start a new one. Atm there is only "quit" which shut down MKVmerge GUI. That feature would be nice if you mux more than 1 movie one by one instead of quitting the GUI and starting it again.

Yeah... I can add a menu option for adjusting all chapter timecodes by a given offset, if you want ;)

Unfortunately, Tilmann Bitterberg will have to do a lot of work before I can start because at the moment all the export modules use AVI writing functions directly. We've talked about a better output format independant layer, and he wanted to implement it, but it's a huge task, and like everyone Tilman has a limited amount of free time ;)

I have just one question. I noticed the "Default Track" checkbox doesn't work with subtitles, at least (I haven't tested with audio tracks yet).

So if I use VobSub and choose a language to be default that won't be the default language (the "first language" is always default).

So I don't know if that's a problem with mkvmerge or with MatroskaSplitter.ax or with VSFilter. ;) (Nothing changes when using MPC internal splitter either)

As I don't know why this happens, sorry if this is the wrong thread. :)

Works fine here, so let's make sure that it's your players that don't honour this flag: Run mkvinfo on the file and look for lines like 'Default track:'.

Hehe you mean, Default flag: 1

Yep, it is there. So perhaps I sould complain on MPC's topic? ;)

Exactly ;) If it is present then it's definitely not mkvmerge's fault, and the persons who actually can fix it are probably not reading this thread.

[filewalker]

I tested the new build.

First I marked the first chapter from the second part of the movie(timecode is "01:20:30.600"),then I pressed "adjust timecodecs and indicated: "-01:20:30.600" so that this chapter is set to "00:00:00.00".
It works but if I mark the next chapter to adjust the timecode, the timecode of the first chapter is set to "01:20:30.600" again. :rolleyes:

Further, it would be nice if we could mark more than one chapter, so that "-01:20:30.600" is subtracted from the timecodes of all marked chapters. :)

Just select the edition or the file itself ( = the root of the tree) that all the chapters belong to. It works recursively.

Editing with the chapter editor works now perfectly.:)
Timecodes were set to all chapters(thanks for your hint).

But I have the problem that the player doesn't show me these chapters.:( (The player shows me still chapter 1-20, though there should be the edited 11-20(with corrected timecodes), where 1-10 were removed.

It looks like that the new loaded & edited chapters don't overwrite the chapters which are inside the MKV or OGM. :rolleyes:

Here is a screenshot,where you see that muxing worked fine; an OGM is the input; the chapters were from the same movie(just saved as MKV, with corrected timecodes .
In the player's chapter navigator, you see that the old chapters from the orginal OGM are still there:

Hmm, your left mmg window shows that the file you're working on is called 'amores-chapters.mkv', but the player shows 'amores-right chapters.mkv'.

[filewalker]

I know it's a little bit confusing, but..

input is an OGM file(second part of the movie) (look at comandline: AMORES_PERROS_2.OGM)

in mmg i can't edit the chapters of the OGM directly, and I can't load the chapters from this OGM for editing( I can only load the chapters from MKV)...so I created in the first step a MKV from this OGM file : "amores-chapters.mkv"
In the second step I open mmg again, load the OGM movie and then I load chapters from "amores-chapters.mkv" into the chapter editor.

Now I see all chapters (1-20)in the chapter editor. I remove the first 10 chapters because it's the second part of the movie, and correct the time codes.

Now i muxed it, and called it "amores-right chapters.mkv" (see player).


I know it's complicated...maybe I misunderstood you someway...:rolleyes:

You have to save the chapters to a XML file and then use add that XML file on the global tab. The tabs in the editor are NOT muxed into the output file!

OR

After loading the chapters from the Matroska file you can use 'Chapters -> Save' (which will save them to the Matroska file you loaded them from) or 'Chapters -> Save to Matroska file' (in which case you can select a different Matroska file to save to).

Hello.

I think i have found a little bug.

When loading a mkv with unicode characters (ü,ñ,ç,á, ...) in the 'File title' or in the 'Track Name', the strings aren't shown correctly in 'mmg' when the movie is loaded.

Die üblichen Verdächtigen
is shown like this:
Die üblichen Verdächtigen

and

ü ï í ì ñ ç ª º
like this:
ü ï Ã_ ì ñ ç ª º


I'm using build 20040216-2 in Windows XP pro (Spanish edition)

When i make the first mkv (writing by myself the title), the resulting movie has the correct strings (MPC show the title and track names correctly).

I don't use any Command line charset, it has something to do?

Known, won't be fixed anytime soon. The problem is that the GUI toolkit I use (wxWindows) is compiled without Unicode support. The next problem is that mmg itself is not designed to work with Unicode support. If you just add a Matroska file and do NOT change anything e.g. in the 'title' field, then it will just be copied over and not changed, so the Unicode chars are kept intact.

Cool, thanks, I didn't know that. :)

I tested it...and now it works like a charme!!:) Juhuu! Great work! :) The player shows me the right chapters with right timecodes.


Now i can convert all my OGM to MKV.


Thanks for your time and nice workaround!!!

Hi, I'm having a little trouble with mkvmerge and hope someone can help.
I tried to add a tag to a chapter in an mka file with the following xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE Tags SYSTEM "matroskatags.dtd">

<Tags>
<Tag>
<Targets>
<TrackUID>649381306</TrackUID>
<ChapterUID>3894844578</ChapterUID>
</Targets>
<Simple>
<Name>TITLE</Name>
<String>Androgyny</String>
</Simple>
</Tag>
</Tags>

It works, but the ChapterUID is not stored, just the track target is used. How do I add a ChapterUID?

thanks

[filewalker]

:)

I just want to thanks you for your nice tool!

In the last days I converted about 30 old OGM files(which were initially muxed with older VDMod versions) with your last MKVMerge to MKV...and MKVMerge works like a charme. :) :cool:
I hadn't any error messages and I haven't found any bugs with OGM conversions. Timecode adjusting for the chapters works perfectly, too.

Thanks again! :)

Heya,

here's another release of mkvtoolnix, 0.8.5 this time. It's purely a bug fix release. You can find the improvements below in the ChangeLog.

The homepage:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/index.html
The sources:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/sources/old/mkvtoolnix-0.8.5.tar.bz2
The Windows binaries:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/win32/mkvtoolnix-0.8.5.rar

The ChangeLog:
------------------------------------
2004-02-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: segfault in the RealMedia reader.
* mmg: bug fix: When adding a Matroska file that contains a track name or a title with non-ASCII characters those would be displayed as UTF-8 in the appropriate input boxes. This has been changed, but obviously it won't work if you add files with Japanese characters on a system with a different locale. For full Unicode support you'll have to wait quite a bit longer.
* mmg: bug fix: For some 'browse file' buttons the default directory was not set to the last directory a file was selected from.

2004-02-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added a function for adjusting the chapter timecodes by a fixed amount.

2004-02-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Splitting by size would sometimes abort directly after opening the second file.

2004-02-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Splitting by time was broken.

2004-02-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: A couple of changes that allow compilation on MacOS X.
* avilib: synchronized with transcode's current CVS version.
-----------------------

Have fun :)

Hi Mosu, i have three suggestions for MKVmergeGUI.

1- INPUT Tab: have a "Remove all" button
2- Tracks options/Language: Put the "more common" language first. I would say (no offense here!): English, French, Japanese etc etc.. then you can just list the others. It makes it easier than having to scroll...
3- When you add a language, the track name should have the same output by default. We can then customize the "Track name" if needed.

Thank you!

Won't happen, there just is no space for it ;) And 'File -> new' should do the trick.

Both sound good, and I'll implement them soon.

I don't like this idea because the player shows the "Language" and "Trackname" one behind the other.

That means if you e.g. select "English" as "Language" (and MKVmerge also uses it for the "Trackname" ), the player would display "English (USA)- English" in the stream selection.

Look at this screenshot for reconsidering.
(You see both, new and old idea)
http://www.geocities.com/filewalker666/Language_Trackname.gif
(copy and paste the link adress in a new fresh browser window)

It doesn' look nice in this way.:rolleyes:
It should be empty if it doesn't give you new further information about the stream.

Hello.
I am ripping DVDs and muxing into mkv files with subtitles now.
Using mkvtoolnix. Great tools!
Everything fine except one little little thing.
When I load mkv into MPC or other player with VSfilter subs are always enabled by default.
But I don't need it all the time and I have to disable it in many cases.
And if I configurate player or filter not to show subs from the start I have to reload video to open subs again. It's not very comfortable.
So the question is how to make mkv with subs that would be disable and switchable on opening?
I tried to add empty subtitle as default track in mkvmerge.
It worked, but I guess it is not smart way.
I know it is very insignificant and I can always leave subs separately from mkv.
Just wanted to be sure before writing files on CD.

[ChristianHJW]

Originally posted by pogo stick So the question is how to make mkv with subs that would be disable and switchable on opening? ... the question must be rephrased to something like
... when will anybody modify the matroska splitter and vsfilter such that the subs are not displayed automatically, if there is no default track flag found ......

Try VLC (http://videolan.org) instead, it might work fine with it ....

Mosu:

Any chance of bringing back the old two-pass splitting mode (as an option) for a future version? It's much more accurate on my files. For example on a recent mux (1 video, 2 mp4 soundtracks) using --split 700m I got one file of 705MB and one file of 692MB. 705 MB is a little bit more than i'm comfortable overburning ;). Thanks for your work, cheers,

Probably not - too much work at the moment. Just re-mux with e.g. 698m or even a bit lower and you should be fine.

Hi mosu,

I have a little problem with compiling mkvtoolnix 0.8.5 on SuSE Linux 8.2. Compilation seems to work fine agains current ebml and matroska libs, but mmg crashes immediately after starting with a segmentation fault (it says 'Speicherschutzverletzung').

gcc is 3.3.1 and wxWindows is version 2.4.0. I am not sure where the problem is, but maybe I can find out more.

Hi,

I've found a bug in the mkvmerge gui 0.8.5. that didn't happens before. When you add a subtitle that have a 'rare' character ex. ñ, ç and so on, the GUi report a problem seeking in the stream and don't add it.

Ex. Lilja4ever.Español.srt
Lilja4ever.Français.srt

This won't add. Changing it to...

Lilja4ever.Espanol.srt
Lilja4ever.Francais.srt

...makes thigns work. Subtitles are added and muxing is correct :eek:

Regards.

tiki4:

Very strange. Please re-run mmg inside gdb and enter the following commands:

p selected_file
p selected_track
p files.size()
p files[selected_file]
p files[selected_file].tracks->size()
p (*files[selected_file].tracks)[selected_track]
p cob_sub_charset

Some of these might not make sense, e.g. if selected_file is < 0 then files[selected_file] etc. will not work.

Thanks.

If the moviename contains äöü (e.g. "LOTR_Die Gefährten", and I try to load it with the GUI, an error message "Return Code 2,Couldn't open source file or seek properly..." and MKVMerge fails to load it.

If I rename it to "LOTR_Die Gefaehrten", it works nicely.

Funny is that I can mux with äöü in the output filename.


edit:
Upps, I saw that it's a known bug some posts before...sorry for posting again.

Same problem as the one with the ~ above. I'll fix it.

@ Mosu

Am I right in thinking MPC streams are supported in the matroska container?

On the corecoded forum it features in the codec list.

I tried loading a *.mpc in and using 0.85 and it refused :(

Thanks

Nope, Musepack is not supported in Matroska at all (due to problems in the file format itself. Hopefully v8 will be better to package...)

[datascab]

Thanks for confirming that.

Actually I can't make much of the output, but as I recompiled once again with debugging enabled, I watched quite a lot warnings about methods shadowing methods of this, whatever that means. I understand quite a bit C++, but I have no clue what goes wrong there.

Argh... Could you please recompile libebml and libmatroska with debug information, re-link mmg with those new libs and try all that again? :)

In order to compile libebml/libmatroska with debug information you'll have to do something like...

cd libebml-0.6.4/make/linux
make DEBUG=yes clean all
cd ../../../libmatroska-0.6.3/make/linux
make DEBUG=yes clean all


For re-linking mmg it should be enough to

cd mkvtoolnix-0.8.5
rm src/mmg/mmg
make


Sunday I've installed a SuSE 9.0 on VMWare and produced RPMs for that (available on my home page, but you use 8.2, and I don't know how portable the RPMs are...). When I have some spare time I'll set up X on that installation and try to run mmg there.

[tiki4]

You're right, mosu. I should have recompiled the libs before. Thanks for your help. I'll do that stuff tonight. The 9.0 RPMS should work, as I upgraded the compiler of SuSE 8.2 to 3.3.1 which is the one that comes with 9.0. SuSE released an compiler update as 8.2 ships with an 3.3 pre-release. Maybe the problem lies there. I will test the RPMs as well. Funnily I had not any problems before 0.8.5.

O.K., thanks again.

CU,

tiki4



No luck with recompiling yet. The output of gdb does not change when libmatroska and libebml are compiled with debugging information. I will test the binaries next.

[Sagittaire]

Matroska is compatible with WMV9 codec and WMA9 codec but not mmg ... :-(
