View Full Version : Yet Another MKV CUT problem

section31

Been browsing around and saw a lot of people having some issues cutting mkv files using virtualdubMod.

When i try to open an mkv file I just created using MKVtoolnix, i get this error when trying to open the file.
Birtual Block Not Handled

Then I tried creating an mkv using this AVIMux_GUI.exe gui. Now virtualdubMod opens the file, but when I cut something then try to save as a direct stream..it crashes.

Am I doing something wrong, or is it that virtualdubMod can't cut mkv files.

VdubMod doesn't handle all the codecs and subtitles formats that mkvtoolnix and avimux do. Why not cutting it with mkvtoolnix itself instead?

I don't know what I did, but I tried it again and again and again...and it worked. I think I disabled one of the audio streams or something something.

How do I cut with mkvtoolnix?

NOTE: I'm using the mkvmerge gui with it, so I haven't tried using it from the cmd line. Is that how I would go about cutting it with mkvtoolnix?

no need, go to "global" and tick "enable splitting" ;). You can set splitting by time or size, as well as number of split files.

doesn't get much easier :)

It get exponentially hard, when you want after come time, say 01:22:05 to cut a like 50MB from the movie, or to the time 01:23:43 ...

There is simply no way to it, using mkvtoolnix and VirtualDubMod does NOT work with modern files, so we are basically screwed with mkv and no usable GUI tools, because VirtualDub does not allow to directly cut/save the mkv file...


mkvmerge --split timecodes:01:22:05,01:23:43 F:\"The Changeling.mkv" -o D:\output.mkv

result with:
Error: no output file name was given.

Useless :(

Check your mkvmerge commandline, or just use mmg.

Did you try this:

mkvmerge --split timecodes:01:22:05.0,01:23:43.0 F:\"The Changeling.mkv" -o D:\output.mkv
