mkvmerge slowwww wen using "--split"

[Malow]

hi, i have a big problem with mkvmerge. i have a xvid video, 2 aac (in mpeg4) audios, and a subtitle file. when muxing to matroska, everything ok. BUT, when i use the parameter "--split 789m" the muxing turns sooo slowww, (about 30 minutes). without this parameter took about 2 minutes. whats wrong?

ive tested with only a video/audio track and the same occours. i apreciate any help. using xp sp2 just installed :)

What version? Saying "latest" means nothing.

[Malow]

1.0.2, im using mkvtoolnix version 1.0.2.

Try this version: http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/win32/pre/HEAD/mkvtoolnix-head-20050212-1.rar. That's the latest cvs head build, I use it and it works just fine. Though I never had problems using --split on any version.

Tnks KaiserS. i will try tonight.

when mkvmerge is muxing, the processor usage is 100% (with problem).
i test with others videos, , the same happens. so, should be a problem with mvkmerge...i can't imagine wy ths --split paramenter change in muxing to do this... maybe the byte-counting? i dont know...

tomorrow i back.

What are you system specs? On my system, AMD XP2000+ & 512 megs DDR333 RAM,I never use more then 45% cpu max, average is usually around 20%. So maybe its a problem with your system and not the program itself?

No, it sounds like a problem with mkvmerge, not with the system. Can you please try the same (including --split) but without the subtitle tracks?

KaiserS:
appears to happens the same wth this new cvs. your system spec is the same as mine.

Mosu:
i will try it. i will convert some videos and test in various ways to dig untils i find exact what is causing, ... but one thing i know - is only wen using --split :)

tnks fot the help folks, i back soon :)

Try leaving out one file during each muxing process. My guess is that either a subtitle or a video track is the culprit -- but I actually have no real clue what the cause might be.

Well, it seems odd that on his system his cpu would max out doing a mux when that task isn't even a cpu intensive (hence why my cpu only uses 20% average). That's why I asked.
