…and it seems I have to re-re-upload the installers with different file names, otherwise FossHub's interface will continue to have a problem with them. Give me five minutes.

[AYColumbia]

Thank you Mosu. No problem, just wanted to give a heads up. I was able to grab what I need from your builds. Many thanks for continuing to improve this tool.

[Mosu]

Done. Please re-visit the FossHub download page. I've confirmed that both installers can be downloaded properly now.

Confirmed. Thanks again.

I'm not sure if it was intentional, but you cant use the Mouse Scroll to change the fields anymore (scrolling down to change Default track from Yes to No for example). This was a real time saver in 8.3.0, especially when dealing with many, many files (small repetitive savings add up, and it reduces the 'mental fatigue' on repetitive tasks when they take less steps). Is it possible this could be added back as an option or something?

I really like the default track column addition in 8.4, its an incredible help in making sure you dont mess up default settings.

This was indeed intentional as it made scrolling the whole pane a pain. Users complained about that, quite often.

You can still scroll the combo boxes, though, but only if they currently have the focus. So click on e.g. the language combo box and the scroll wheel will send its events to that combo box.

I don't plan on making this optional at the moment. Sorry.

Hi Mosu

I asked you for a while, could you change the output of the time in nano precession for the "identify-for-mmg" switch.
You said you cant change the output, cause other people had then problems with parsing.

mmmh ... now you have change something (grrr.)
please change the time format from ms to ns!!!

[Mosu]

No, sorry. I do know of people who parse those timestamps. I won't change them lest I break their application. However, I don't know of anyone having used the audio_* values in verbose identification mode. And if someone complains about them I can still re-add the old values in addition to the new ones, and that wouldn't break anything. Big difference.

I parse this values :-)

It's ok with your change, I will update to your changes.
Dont waste your time for re-adding!

Can you add a new switch please?
(identify-for-mmg-ns)

[Mosu]

No, I don't like that there are three different identification modes already. I won't add a fourth one.

Ask me again in a release or two, maybe I'll change my mind about the formatting.

Which are the other two modes?

Yes ok, i will do that.

Maybe you add the switch --time-ns and an additionally entrie appear at the end of the text.


Time in ns is very important for me, because splitting,"ordered chapters" and my Matroska Menu Editor need this to work perfectly.

[Mosu]

--identify, --identify-verbose, --identify-for-gui (or its older version --identify-for-mmg which continues to work).

[Mosu]

Uhm… remind me again. For which values do you need ns precision?

[hubblec4]

In a prev version of mkvmerge was the identify-output for a mkv "Duration:".

First the hh:mm:ss:ms code followed by the time in second with millisec(1,234).

Now, there is a value "duration:" and many digits:

Example:

...
container: Matroska [container_type:17 duration:7724190000000 is_providing_timecodes:1 segment_uid
:9d8243fdc3600b69a474fb2a0ec8448a]
...

Is this the duration of the mkv, which format?

There are other duration values at the tracks. I think this are not so interessting.

[Mosu]

The duration: entry in the container line is the segment duration in nanoseconds. There's a »default_duration« entry for tracks, again in nanoseconds, but that's not the track's duration, obviously.

Earlier versions of mkvmerge also listed the track statistics tags. You can force mkvmerge to include them again by adding »--engage keep_track_statistics_tags« in addition to »--identify…«. mkvmerge does not reformat those tags, it outputs them the way they are. mkvmerge writes those tags as HH:MM:SS.nnnnnnnnn, but other applications may chose less precision – and that's nothing mkvmerge could change.

So basically there's nothing for me to do here.

[hubblec4]

Sorry Mosu

I get the movie duration value from mkvinfo.exe.

So can you add there a posibillity to get the durations with ns?

It seems that the simplified Chinese language in 8.4 is not complete even comparing to the one in 8.3? And the sc lang size is much smaller in 8.4 too. A mistake?

Like I said: the movie duration is already part of the properties, it's »duration:« in the container line. It is the duration in ns.

The translator for Chinese Simplified does not update the translation often. As I don't speak Chinese myself there's not a lot I can do about it; I need translators who do the actual work.

The translation file in 8.4.0 is smaller because the old GUI and all associated strings have been removed from MKVToolNix. That's exactly how it should be.
