It seems it was. Add an empty third line and a single chapter can now be muxed, while loading said chapter file doesn't cause the GUI to run away.

I guess the "can't mux a single chapter" thing is a bug. You never can tell. Handbrake refuses to mux single chapters into it's output files (although the log file informs you of it) so I thought maybe not being able to mux a single chapter might be considered normal. I'm glad it appears not to be.

Thanks.

As I'm in the process of re-writing the GUI I won't fix minor issues such as this in the old one, especially as you have a usable workaround for the time being.

Ditto ... a welcome addition to the H265 roadmap.
Wasn't sure if you were gonna get to it since you're a "one man band".

Awesome ... tx


It's all good

Wish there was some real-world HEVC content to try. Maybe UHD trials will start on satellite soon.

I'm in the middle of a complete re-write of the GUI with a different toolkit library. I will therefore not fix minor issues in mmg anymore.

what is the new GUI toolkit?

[Mosu]

Qt instead of wxWidgets.

GREAT!!!

thanks Mosu for you work!!

The Windows installer for the 64-bit version of 6.8.0 seems to have a black background for the copyright line or something like that.

[Mosu]

Known, already fixed. As it's a completely cosmetic issue I won't create new installers for 6.8.0.

[fancyclown]

Hi, thanks for the great updates!

Right now I'm using 6.8.0 with wine on OS X because I can't figure out how to build a new version with a gui.

The mac app version hasn't been updated since 6.2.0 so it would be great if anyone could give pointers how to build the new version.

[Chetwood]

BTW, this thread's headline still suggests 6.7.0 being the latest version.

[Mosu]

@Chetwood: goot point, thanks. Fixed.

[DarrellS]

Thanks for the update. Good to see HEVC support. It was worth the wait.

Does chapter extraction broken somewhere in 6.8? as I unable to parse the xml doc in c# library. Plus the byte of sizes it produce is slightly bigger than previous mkvtoolnix version 6.6,6.5 etc produce so it make me wonder it it is the reason it broke. I use --redirect-output option instead '>' when extracting the chapter

[Mosu]

That's a known issue that I've already fixed in the latest pre-build. The issue was that the BOM was written twice when using --redirect-output. The redirection via '… > filename.xml' did not suffer from this issue, though I cannot say whether or not this works nicely with non-ASCII characters on Windows' cmd.exe (it does work fine on Linux shells, of course).

Since version 6.7.0 the head data editor has an annoying bug:
(this also still applies to version 6.8.0)

if you load a file (*mkv) with the head data editor or place it via drag and drop there, the head data editor becomes unresponsive for about 6-8 seconds. The same happens when you save the changes.
In version 6.6.0 the loading and saving worked flawless.

platform tested: Windows 7 SP1 / Windows 8.1 (both x64)

Could you please reproduce this bug and fix it?

[Mosu]

No, sorry. I won't spend any more time on the old GUI as I'm in the process of re-writing it – even though that will still take some time until it'll be finished.

When I open MKVs under mmg 6.8.0 64-bit and trying to edit the "Global options | File/segment title:", subsequent edits of different files shows "blank/nothing" in the "File/segment title:" fied. I know for a fact it contains a File/segment title... so when I exit and re-run it and then load up the mkv, it shows the correct File/segment title.

For the new Input files:, I simply click "remove all" and then add... Am I doing something wrong, or am I suppose to exit the entire program before loading up a new MKV file? I remember in the past it seem to work as I had expected... but this newer version somehow behaves differently....

[Mosu]

Use »File -> New«. Using »Remove all« is supposed to keep certain fields the way they are, and that includes their internal state regarding whether or not the field has been manually changed.

Hi there

I have also been using the remove all button to create more mkvs but did not know that the Global File/Segment title did not change with every new files droped into the window.

is there a way to change this field in the mkv without remuxing a few mkvs or will i have to start all over to change that field.

also what other fileds odes the remove button keep when inputing a new project apart from the file/segment title ? is there anything i should be worried about.

thanks
