[BoNeCrUsHeR]

The source are not available here : http://kurtnoise.free.fr/MKVextractGUI155_src.zip
Where can i find the source ?
Thanks

I don't know where source is for 'wizard' but corecodecs is back up (today)... :)
http://corecodec.org/frs/?group_id=55&release_id=310#r310

You will find sources for most/all mkvextractgui versions.

[jjseth]

CoreCodec.org is down again...... thanks a lot for all BoNeCrUsHeR :thanks:

[Kurtnoise]

PM me if you want MKVExtractGUI sources...I'll create a new project on CoreForge this weekend for this tool.

[Kurtnoise]

Ok the last package (1.6.4) and sources have been reloaded on CoreFore.org now : http://mkvextractgui.coreforge.org/

After a long time out i loss the sources and CoreCodec seems to be down.
subscribe to the new website and I'll add you as a developper...:)

[jjseth]

Thanks Kurtnoise13! I´ll suscribe in the new web now and I going to send you a pm.

[Kriz]

I'm having some trouble with the gui, it's not displaying correctly.

Does anyone know how to extract EAC3 (DD+) from an mkv?

[vlada]

I think it should be possible to extract any track from MKV at least as binary data. Have you tried using mkvextract from command line?

mkvextract.exe tracks "file.mkv" --raw 2:audio.eac3

Something like this should work for you.

[Redmist]

Thanks, vlada! Worked perfectly.

[Kurtnoise]

Come on guys...eac3 != ac3 :rolleyes:


@Kriz :: did you try to resize the window ? I'll look at this asap.

[foxyshadis]

I think it's just because it uses pixel layout, so it doesn't work with large font dpi (or as Doom9 charitably calls it, granny fonts).

[Kurtnoise]

I'm having some trouble with the gui, it's not displaying correctly.
Should be ok now in the last release...

Hi Kurtnoise,

unfortunately when trying your new GUI, I found this problem:

Edit: Forgot to mention I'm running Windows XP. Apparently this version is not just Vista compatible, it is Vista demanding. :-)

[Kurtnoise]

ooops...Sorry. Should be ok now.

Same link as above.

[KoD]

Works nicely now. Great job. ^^

[lolent]

Thanks Kurtnoise13, I will test it :)

[Thunderbolt8]

would be great if this tool is continued further, if one could for example extract E-AC3 and the dts core (from dts-hd) tracks out of a .mkv file again.

[TheSof]

Is there still no way to extract eac3 from mkv?

[marknyc5]

I used MKV Wizard to extract three files from my mkv file: aac, ass, and h264. How do I convert these into an avi or mpg?

Thanks,

Mark

[vlada]

Well extracting the tracks won't help you in converting. Where did you get this idea?

In fact you can convert the .h264 video to AVI using AVC2AVI. But it probably won't help you. I guess you want to convert the MKV because of compatibility reasons. If I'm right, then tell me what exactly are you trying to do. I should be able to help you. But not unless I know more details of your motivation to convert the MKV to AVI. Anyway extracting the tracks won't help you in most cases.

[mrdummy]

Do you forget standalone DVD players with MPEG4 playback function? They're cheap now and that is why we want convert them, MKV files mainly, to compatible Xvid/MP3 format, and if possible, hardcoded substitles. (SUB/SRT is okay, but some players has poor subtitle view: bad fonts, wrong color, no black outline, hard to read. Hardcoded is better.)

Even some people tell us why we don't buy better player with mkv and h264/aac playback... there is reason: they're still expensive.
A DVD player with mpeg4 playback is already found from $30, and that is cheap. Why not encode to AVI?

I know MKV is good, but that is only at PC playback so far. But not all people has pc near the TV. And no money for expensive i-can-play-all player.

I tried http://how-2-do.blogspot.com/2007/12/how-to-convert-mkv-files-to-avi-with.html guide, but my AutoGK cannot encode AVI further, it stays by 'Analyzing AVI' :(
Another method to hardcode subs?

Edit: I try now with VirtualDub + Vobsub plugin (TextSub filter)

[KoD]

I'm going to be evil like most other people here when they want to close a discussion, and say: in that case you'd better rip from the DVD/original disc, instead of trying to make a DVD back from your self-made mkv.

[SpAwN_gUy]

hello, i'm using Wizard... and i 'kinda like it..

but.. as i've noticed.. the coreCodec-site is "a bit" down..

and.. the last version of Wizard (as i see) is the version that i have...
so.. Kurtnoise13 can you update the wizard, so it could read InputFile from commandline?

so i could "Sent To" the wizard...

[Kurtnoise]

mmh...it shouldn't be hard to do that but I don't get your point imho. It's just a GUI. So, why do you want to have some command lines switches with it ?

[guada2]

Hello kurtnoise13,

Thanks for your GUI.
But I noticed a small problem, when i decide to open an file (in "INPUT"); then, I decide to leave by click on "cancel" , it occurs this:"can' T open file"

With MKVextracGui, there is no problem.

Bye..

[SpAwN_gUy]

mmh...it shouldn't be hard to do that but I don't get your point imho. It's just a GUI. So, why do you want to have some command lines switches with it ? ok.. i'll try to explain...
this is for "Send To" option...
like, VirtualDub - has this thing.. like i "Send To" VirtualDub.. and it(VD) opens itself and opens the file... so i don't need to start VD, "open file", search for it.. and the open..

thanks :) ...

[Kurtnoise]

I'll see what can I do...can't code during the week (only the weekend).

[SpAwN_gUy]

Hello, me again :) ...
as i can see.. mkvtoolnix 2.4.0 is out.. and now MKVE Wisard.. is working, but it does not show any progress. (files are still 0b... but when stopped - the are normal file sizes..)

and what about my old request? ;) ... about command-line switch :)

[viceversa]

ok, here is my problem.
First, thanks for the app, it works like a charm.
But lets see... I've got around 700 MKV files and all of their track 1 is the audio i need. Is there any way to batch extract all first tracks?
If i do this manually, it will take ages...

[NanoBot]

You "got" the 700 MKV files ?

Please have a look at rule 6 of the forum rules:
http://forum.doom9.org/forum-rules.htm

6) No warez, cracks, serials or illegally obtained copyrighted content! Links to content of a questionable nature, asking for, offering, or asking for help/helping to process such content in any way or form is not tolerated.

Sorry, nobody can help you unless you can produce evidence that you are a legal owner of that content you "got". :rolleyes:.

C.U. NanoBot

[viceversa]

So i had to give my firms confidential files, because i need some help?
Thanks anyway, i can do the "1 click per file" job for not to get fired...

Anyway, not everything is about cracks, warez, serials, illegally obtained stuff. You must clear this insanity...

[vlada]

viceversa
It should be very easy to write a batch script which will convert all your files. Use the CLI version of MKVExtract.

[Mosu]

If you're using some kind of Linux-ish/BSD-ish system or a proper shell on Windows (e.g. cygwin's bash or MSYS from the mingw project) then you could script something. Assuming that the first audio track is always a MP3 you could do something like...

for file in *.mkv ; do
track_id="`mkvmerge -i "$file" | grep '^Track.*: audio' | head -n 1 | awk '{ gsub(":", "", $3); print $3 }'
if [ "$track_id" != "" ]; then
mkvextract tracks "$file.mkv" "${track_id}:${file}-extracted-${track_id}.mp3"
fi
done

What it does is:

It calles mkvmerge in "identification" mode which prints out the track IDs and track types.
Next, the line corresponding to the first audio track is extracted.
The track ID is extracted from this line.
mkvextract is called with this ID and an automatically constructed file name.

Of course on plain Windows you're probably out of luck :)

[viceversa]

@vlada
I'm working on it, hope to solve before weeks end :)

@Mosu
Windows :(
But thanks for the tip, maybe i can arrange one of the ITs and get him to job with a live Linux...

Thank you both.

[mcrossy]

Hi all,
I'm new using this useful tool.
I have been curious to make it work in something like a "batch mode" (having a certain number of files to be extracted from their sources).
So I tried a simple mode to let it do automatically.
Here is how I do:

1. (In MKV Extract GUI) I open the source file (from where I want to extract the tracks)

2. In the "Tracks" tab (located at the bottom window in the main screen) I will see a text with the commands for the current job: select all that text and copy it (CTRL+C)

3. Now I open a TXT file in which I PASTE the copied command. At the end of the command line I put a Carriage Return and start with a new line.

4. Repeat this procedure for all of the files I want to extract (the commands will be one after another in the TXT file.

5. Now select all the text in the TXT file and copy it in the clipboard (CTRL+C)

6. Open a DOS window (Start -> Run... -> CMD), change dir to the folder where is MKVToolnix

7. Now PASTE (mouse right-click -> paste) the copied text and let the batch work.

For me it works perfectly; hope it will be useful for anyone who need it.

Enjoy.

I have a question about the mkxuncat.exe. The one that comes with MKVExtractGUI is 212 KB and the one with MKVE Wizard 74.5 KB. Both versions seem to work with MKVExtractGUI, console window that pops up shows with both "mkxuncat v0.1.0". So why the filesize difference when they're suppose to be the same thing at least by the version number? So which one of them is newer or better so to speak?

Second question is about MKVE Wizard and its uncat feature. Is it broken?
See the picture: http://i47.tinypic.com/255nbtk.jpg

Thank you very much for the program, just want the GUI version to "fill the gap" of MKV tools.

I've drag a file with Unicode characters on the GUI, it display some ? characters, can you please compile with UTF-8 support?

Thanks.

Hi all,

I have been trying to find mkvextract gui to be used with the latest mkvtoolnix but 90% of the places I try to download from have bad links.

Where can I find mkvextract gui latest as 1.6.4.1 doesn't seem compatible with newest mkvextract.exe

[XhmikosR]

1.6.4.1 is the latest version. What do you mean not compatible? It works for me with the latest Mkvtoolnix.

[sneaker_ger]

This application seems to be abandoned. Try MKVcleaver (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=152108) instead.

/edit:
@XhmikosR
It will error on attachments and maybe some other things.

If so. wants to get MKVExtractGUI anyways, get it here: MKVExtractGUI 1.6.4.1 (http://www.mediafire.com/?wonod22mxxj)

[mark0077]

Thanks sneaker_ger.

Well extracting things like tags, I am getting strange command line errors printed to the txt file rather than proper contents. I assumed the command line interface has changed format in a recent mkvextract.exe and the gui doesn't support it.

I am converting all of my DVD's to mkv to put into library on pc. I have a DVD that I have never been able to get to mkv properly. Its "The World Is Not Enough". Here is what I am doing

Convert DVD to mkv using makemkv

Now if I play this the way it is there are two problems.

1) The audio is perfectly in sync.
2) There is an audio glitch at one (or maybe more) points in the movie. They are reproducable, and even visible on the mpc-hc evr graph. The graph is flat until these points.

So I continue anyways.

Use mkvextract to extract the mpeg2 video
Use DVD Patcher to force each frame to be the correct 16:9 aspect ratio (this dvd is a little different to the rest, and needs this to play correctly in mpc-hc and ffdshow).
Use mkvmerge using original mkv, disabling its mpeg2 video, and inserting the new mpeg2 from dvd patcher above.

Now if I play this the way it is there are two problems.

1) The audio is out of sync, significantly
2) There is an audio glitch at one (or maybe more) points in the movie. They are reproducable, and even visible on the mpc-hc evr graph. The graph is flat until these points.

So I tried to now use audio and video timecode files. With this

1) The audio is perfectly in sync
2) The audio glitch is still there.

I can't get rid of this glitch, for many months. The original dvd doesn't have it, and even converting mkv back to a ts file doesn't have it. It seems to be only when its as an mkv.......

I suppose if anyone knows, what software other than makemkv I can use to stop this glitch from appearing at certain points in the movie? I assume its the cause of the problem.

I have a very simple question - is MkvExtract GUI still being developed - cos its been a while since the 1.6.4.1 release

I think the author was busy or abandon it already.
Try MKVCleaver instead, it's good.

Not that I know but as said before there is MKVCleaver or MKVExtractGUI-2:

[DMD]

I do not know if the request is a mission impossible, but I try.
you can make it compatible with subtitles TextST?

The latest version 2.2.2.9 shows them regularly, but you can not make the demux of these subtitles.

http://i59.tinypic.com/a3pogj.jpg


By placing the mux with MakeMKV, with the latest version (1.9.1) is already compatible with this type of subtitles.

Thanks

[Mosu]

So MakeMKV is inventing their own CodecIDs again without talking with anyone about it? Great! *sigh*

[DMD]

Also with the version 2.3.0.0 same problem.
I can not extract the txt subtitles :(

http://i63.tinypic.com/6jj3g1.jpg

[Mosu]

S_HDMV/TEXTST subtitles are currently not supported by MKVToolNix. I have patches, but I haven't finished them. On top of that Mike from MakeMKV and me didn't entirely agree on the format the extracted subtitles should use…

[DMD]

Thanks
