RV + AC3 in mkv?

[bot]

This might be a thread for the beginner's forum, but anyways...

Is it possible to mux real video with ac3 in matroska (or any other container)? How?

[unmei]

mkvmerge from the mkvtoolnix package. The mmg.exe is a GUI for it.

I produced an RV clip that mkvmerge wouldn't open, saying there was no content in it :confused:

(It played in realplayer)


Oh well, back to the testing. Thanks!

Try using Media Player Classic from Gabest :)

It doesn't want to play real media at all since I installed realplayer. Mind you, I had to uninstall real alternative to get realplayer to work.

realalternative is evil. I wonder why people still install it :o

Could you elaborate? Why evil?

As he pointed out above, it tends to break things, particularly RealPlayer actually working.

bot: in general mkvmerge (mmg) should be able to mux RV + AC3 without any problems. Media Player Classic should also be able to play your RV as long as you have RealPlayer installed. There is a big UNLESS though, and that is unless you created a SureStream file. This is a file with multiple bitrates embedded. Neither realmediasplitter (nor mkvmerge) can handle this filetype. It is not useful unless you want to stream your file via a RealServer. That's all I can think of for now. If this is not the problem, let me know, and I will PM you a location you can upload your problematic file to.

IMHO the new RealPlayer is evil. I woudn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

And what exactly does RealAlternative break (other than the "famous" RealPlayer)?
