If you mean that mmg/mkvmerge cannot handle .wvm files, then yes, that's correct.

Why ... wma9 pro is a very good codec for multichannel encoding with low bitrate ... ?

You don't understand. mkvmerge does not support the WMV file format. This has nothing to do with the WMV9 video codec.

Yes mmg is compatible with WMV9 codec but not with WMA9 Codec ... Matroska is compatible with WMV9 and WMA9 ... !!!

@Sagittaire
On Windows, you can happen to mux WMA as A_MS/ACM using GraphEdit.
But WMA is not "officially" supported yet as (for instance) "A_WMA/WMA9"
The same is true with .WMV.
Since mkvtoolnix is originally a tool for Linux, it doesn't support what happens to work only on Windows.
What's more, lossless WMA is not fully supporeted even as A_MS/ACM.
Some players for Windows can play WMA in MKV as "A_MS" stuff, but that's just accidental. AFAIK, WMV(not VCM that is) & WMA are not officially supported yet.

So, if I understand you correctly, what you're actually asking is, "When will Matroska support WMV/WMA", isn't it...?

On Graphedit its pretty easy for most WMV/ASF stuff to construct transmuxing graphs, and Gabests' 'ASF Recorder' works beautiful for most movies offered from websites, especially since Liisachan told me to the trick to find out the real URL of the movies from the playlist files ;) ....

Its funny that you guys are talking about wmv into mkv, cause i wanted to mux my old (yes, very old!) asf files into matroska. I know about asf2mkv, but we have to record the asf files @ 1x. ZzZzzz...

Yeah, graphedit works, but i prefer mkvmerge by far! :p
Any plans to enable the muxing of asf into mkv into mkvmerge?

Not really. Some people got pressure from MS for using the ASF format, and I don't really have the time for it.

(It's more an issue of lack of time than of legal matters.)

@Mosu

Would be possible to implement (in future :)) a job queue in the gui?

I'm puting srt files in 30 episodes and it's very annoying do one and wait do other and wait...and finally i want to merge all episodes in one big file with chapters to the episodes...that it's already done automaticaly by avimux gui...

I thinks this could be good feactures to implement in mkvtoolnix (in the future)

Thanks! :)

@Mosu
Another feature request I'm afraid! :D Would it be possible to implement splitting the output by chapters in mkvmerge? It could be really useful if you have a single music album in an .mka with chapters and want to extract just a song or two... Thanks for this great tool! :)

I have many avi files (episodes) but i can't open them in mkvtoolnix it returns with "mkvmerge -i return code 2, could not open source file or seek properly in it".

I tryed with avimux gui and it goes fine no problem at all :( it merges the subtitles with the avi that gives error in mkvtoolnix :(

Can i upload it to you FTP? or do something else...or have i to use the avimux gui :scared:

Hi people, i really don´t know where to post this question so i put it here....
Something weird happened to me, something that did not happen since my first encodes with divx and xvid.
I´ve made an encode with RV10 with a material that DVD2AVI says its 23.976 FILM, but when i joined the rmvb video file with the mp3 audio file, starting from the middle to end, audio looses synch.....
To work with .avi files, i have a program called AVIFrameRate, which let me "tweak" framerate a little ,let´s say 23.978.
With this, i remember that i could fix all these problems in the past........but now, working with RV10 and mkvtoolnix, don´t know if this is possible.
I hope you could give some ideas and advices.........really thanks for your help.

Well, since you didnt specify the codec I cannot say for sure, but RV10 'Elysian' seems to be buggy in handling FPS and you should add this to your job file.

<rcSourceFrameRate type="uint">23976</rcSourceFrameRate>





http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=71022

If your build of \producer\codecs\erv4.dll is not "RealVideo 10 'Elysian'" but "RealVideo 9 EHQ+xVBR1", then the above-mentioned has nothing to do with your prob.

Mosu: I happened to find that mkvmerge modestly runs in the Priority BELOW_NORMAL. Is this a spec?

I'd prefer NORMAL or even ABOVE_NORMAL,
because if I'm doing something else with other pieces of software at the same time, BELOW_NORMAL things could almost stop or at least get very slower. I'm afraid some ppl even might misunderstand that muxing MKV is time-consuming and ineffective because of this...

I have a samlll problem with your app. It seems that the delay specified for an ac3 strem is not relized in the muxed file. The commandline generated by mmg looks like this:"mkvmerge" -o "" --command-line-charset UTF-8 -d 0 -A -S --track-order 0 D:\movie.avi --sync 0:2000 -a 0 -D -S --track-order 0 "D:\sound.ac3"When I play the file, the sound starts nonetheless immediately. WDoing the same in VDubMod it works however.

Works fine here. Please do the following:
1) Create a file with the settings as you've pasted them. Run mkvinfo on that file, e.g. 'mkvinfo -v file-with-delay.mkv > file-with-delay.txt'
2) Create a file with the settings as you've pasted them but remove the sync. Run mkvinfo on that file, e.g. 'mkvinfo -v file-without-delay.mkv > file-without-delay.txt'
3) Find the last packet for the AC3 track (which should be track number 2) in both .txt files and compare their timecodes. The one for file-with-delay.txt should be about 2s after the one for file-without-delay.txt

When I play the file, the sound starts nonetheless immediately. WDoing the same in VDubMod it works however.

What does work? Playback? Syncing?

Sorry for not being too clear. What works in VDUbMod is the synching. Playback works for both files.

However, VDubMod gives the following message after muxing:'MKV: Not enough space reserved (2330 bytes) at the beginning of the file for the KaxSeekHead. Writing at the end of the file.' BTW, the video is shorter than the sound stream.

Since I seem not to be able to find the relevant info please could you please download the output files of mkinfo from here (http://www.mynetcologne.de/~nc-allgeife8/mkinfo_output.rar).

Unfortunately I cannot tell anything from these files. Please do some more work for me:

1) Run mkvinfo on the file WITH sync delay created with mkvmerge, e.g. 'mkvinfo -v -c file-with-delay.mkv > file-with-delay.txt'
2) Run mkvinfo on the file WITHOUT sync delay created with mkvmerge, e.g. 'mkvinfo -v -c file-without-delay.mkv > file-without-delay.txt'
3) Upload both files somewhere.

Please note the '-c' flag in the commands which wasn't present before. It helps me figuring out what's going wrong.

Thanks.

Both implemented. The first thingy (setting the output filename automatically) can be switched off on the settings page.

Second thingy: mmg will only ask once for confirmation. So if you use the file selector and select an existing file it'll ask if you want to overwrite it. It won't ask again when you hit 'start muxing'. If you enter the name manually, though, then it'll ask when you hit 'start muxing'.

Expect a new build tonight.

Implemented, selectable on the 'settings' page. Not adjustable during muxing, but you can always use the task manager for that. Expect a new build tonight.

I suddenly have this problem muxing a vobsub subtitle ripped with vsripe.exe, which I didn't have before. When muxing it to matroska it immediately gives an error right under status and progress in the upper part of the muxing screen.

mkvmerge FAILED with a return code of -1073741819

To my surprise a search showed this error occured with previous versions of mkvtoolnix, but was supposed to be fixed. I'll upload the vobsub file to your server.

This return code just tells us that mkvmerge crashed due to illegal memory access (called 'segmentation fault' on Unix/Linux). This was another bug than the previous ones, but I've fixed it (see next message).

Thanks for the report.

Heya,

here's another release. I've implemented a couple of usability enhancements for mmg, but more important, there are a lot of bugs that I've fixed. Please see the ChangeLog for details.

The homepage:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/
The sources:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/sources/mkvtoolnix-0.8.6.tar.bz2
Windows binaries:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/win32/mkvtoolnix-0.8.6.rar

Here's the ChangeLog since 0.8.5:
------------------------------------------------------
2004-03-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.8.6.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: OGMs created by Cyrius OGMuxer are missing comment packets for some streams which mkvmerge choked on.

2004-03-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge/mmg: bug fix: The LANGUAGE and TITLE comments from OGM files were not set in the GUI when adding such files.

2004-03-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: If the FourCC was set for one track it had been used for each track you selected as well.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Tags are being kept when reading Matroska files.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Large values for --sync (over 2100) would cause an integer overflow resulting in no sync being done at all.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The VobSub handling was broken if the .idx file contains an entry for a track ("id: en") but no "timestamp:" entries for such a track.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The segment UID was not generated if splitting was off.
* mmg: new feature: Automatically set the output file name when the first file is added to the same name but with a '.mkv' extension if it hasn't been set yet. Can be disabled on the 'settings' page.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: More of the non-ASCII character fixes (in --tags and --chapters this time).
* mkvmerge/mmg: new feature: Made the process priority selectable on the 'settings' page and default to 'normal' again (was 'lower' before).

2004-03-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: mmg will ask for confirmation before overwriting an existing output file.

2004-02-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: No memory was allocated for the --attachment-description resulting in weird descriptions or mkvmerge aborting with 'invalid UTF-8 characters'.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: More of the non-ASCII characters fixes.

2004-02-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: File names with non-ASCII characters like Umlaute are handled correctly.

2004-02-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Some RealMedia files contain several tracks for multirate stuff which are now ignored. Only tracks with known MIME types (audio/x-pn-realaudio and video/x-pn-realvideo) are used.

2004-02-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: Added a list of 'popular' languages on top of all language drop down boxes.
-------------------------------------------------

Have fun :)

i think i found a bug :(

to reproduce:

open a mkv file, the output file name will be made automaticaly, after that mux it or simply remove the added file and add other. The automaticaly generated file name will not change :( will keep the first generated! And will not show a warning message when we hit the start botton...some thing wrong here... :(

maybe some flag should be reseted when you hit the remove botton and when the muxing process is finished ;)
