Ok, thats clear

BUT

the ns value seems to me not really good calculated.
Every ns value ends with "000000".
Only three digits for ms not "000".

In mkfinfo.exe(output) there is not really a "container line", or??

[Mosu]

The »container« line refers to the output of mkvmerge's identification mode.

The segment duration field in the Matroska file is scaled via TimecodeScale. That value defaults to 1000000. This means that the duration field itself only has a precision of ms. mkvmerge outputs what's in that field, it doesn't scan the whole file for calculating anything.

So no, mkvmerge cannot give you the information you want. You would have to parse mkvinfo's full output and calculate everything yourself, I guess.

You're probably going to ask me to extend mkvinfo's output to ns precision next. Please open a feature request on Github for that.

If we install this version over previous one, will the MMG be preserved or will it be removed?

[Mosu]

The installer will clean up obsolete files and therefore remove mmg.exe. Use the portable version if you want to keep mmg.exe around.

[LeMoi]

So if i still want to use the old GUI, I just have to keep the mmg.exe file?

[Mosu]

You also need data\magic.mgc from 8.3.0 and the locale folder from 8.3.0. Unfortunately you cannot simply mix magic.mgc from different versions generally as that will lead to segmentation faults in one of the applicaitons.

In such a situation it would probably be simpler to keep two folders around, one with mmg.exe and its associated files (you can remove the other .exe from that folder) and one folder with the current MKVToolNix. Then point mmg.exe to the location of the newer mkvmerge.exe.

[Bigmango]

Now that the mkvmerge-gui was removed there's no gui anymore in the archlinux version...

[Mosu]

There are three bugs open for this already, the oldest one from the 8.0.0 release. Complain to the Arch Linux maintainers, please, it's their job to keep things up to date.

Or compile it yourself for the time being. Arch Linux is my main development platform, and the GUI works nicely there.

There's also an AUR package called mkvtoolnix-git which builds the Qt-based GUIs.

8.3 ships with a translation that has been reverted as per user report.

I've started working on the Simplifed Chinese translation, and have just finished untranslated and fuzzy entries. Going to do a thourough check of all entries in the next a few days. Will submit to Mosu when I feel it's ready, hopefully this can be done within this week.
You can check my progress on my Github repo. Feedback is welcome.

[Mosu]

That's great to hear! Thanks, Murcetieb, I appreciate it.

Typo in German GUI:

Was wollen Sie mit den Dateien machen, die sie hier her gezogen undfallen gelassen haben?

should read

Was wollen Sie mit den Dateien machen, die sie hierher gezogen und fallen gelassen haben?

[Mosu]

Fixed, thanks.

[Thunderbolt8]

is this meant to be a translation for drag and drop? I'd rather use "die Sie hier eingefügt haben", there is no need to translate the whole thing literally. What matters is just the outcome, where the files are now.

right now it sounds clumsy.

[Chetwood]

Still, ziehen und fallenlassen appears to be the proper translation and also being used in professionally translated OSs like Windows (the translation is professional, not the OS).

[Thunderbolt8]

it still sounds rather clumsy and stupid. there is really no need to translate the whole process when the result is all that matters. what happened is that bestimmte Dateien dort eingefügt worden sind. how his happened, no one cares.

[Chetwood]

Says you. So?

[Perenista]

I am getting this error (click to enlarge):



It wasn't happening BEFORE I updated to the last version of this program.

[Mosu]

Well, don't try to write to directories you don't have write access to, like C:\Program Files\…

What? This is what you get from using version 7.4.0...



I had to search for a previous version to see if was not some sort of bug. Apparently, it is.

As you can see, I am able to add an audio and subtitle track to the MKV successfully. The file tested was in the same location. My OS version is Windows 8.1 PRO 64 bit.

EDIT: Sorry for the misunderstanding. I changed the output folder, and it worked in the last version. Didn't know about the write access thing. This is going to confuse some people.

BTW, why can't I open more than one instance from this program now? In the past I worked with more than one file at the same time, to speed up things.
