MKVToolNix v24.0.0 released

[Mosu]

That problem has already been fixed; see https://github.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/1312

Hi Mosu

I am having an issue with the default charset on subtiles.

With mkvmerge GUI the charset is set to "Default" and subtitles are displayed properly but with MKVToolNix GUI the charset is ISO-885915.
In that case subtitles with accent are displayed like this: "é" is translated "é".

Witch charset is the same than the "Default" of mmg ?

[Mosu]

Huh… the equivalent should have been no selection at all, but unfortunately the combo box in the preferences does not contain an empty entry. That's a bug, obviously, and I'll fix it.

The »default« is a character set depending on your Windows installation. It's often CP1252 or something like that. But maybe your file uses UTF-8 encoding? You should give that a try, too.

[XinHong]

There is an empty entry (above ISO-885915) but it does not work.

Anyway it's working with UTF-8, thanks for the tip.

But a doubleclick on a second mtxcfg and nothing happens. with the drag&drop it works and a new tab is created.

I've implemented a fix that works well on my Windows and Linux systems. I'd appreciate it if you could give it a try, too. Pre-builds 805 and higher contain that fix.

That pre-build contains the fix for the chapter editor menu entry issue you've mentioned, too, of course.

The 32bit binaries are still being built, BTW, they should be done and uploaded in a couple of minutes.

Thanks.

The pre-builds mentioned above contain the fix that the »default subtitle character set« combo box in the preferences can be set to »– no selection by default –« which uses the aforementioned operating-system dependent defaults. That combo box in the preferences dialog is the one that didn't contain an empty entry.

Hi. This is most likely was already discussed but still I want to mention... In my case it takes around 10 seconds for the new GUI to start, close or perform action after I press mux button (or other similar buttons). Not sure when this started. When I tried one of the early versions (that still included mkvextract stub) it wasn't the case. Edit: on windows7, x64 version of the gui

[Mosu]

No, I haven't had such a report before. Sounds like every time the settings are loaded from/saved to disk. I don't know what could cause that, I haven't seen it happen before, and I don't have a clue how to debug it. Sorry.

Thanks Mosu, all works fine.

Hi Mosu

I need an explanation for nested chapters and the options "hidden" and "enabled".
When a chapter is set to hidden/disabled, then are all nested chapters hidden/disabled?
So i could set all nested chapters hidden flags to 1 and enabled flags to 0 ?

[Mosu]

I cannot help you with that as I wasn't the one doing the chapter specs. I've also never experienced with these kinds of settings.

Maybe someone else can answer that.

I'd say yes. (According to spec. Players might be different.)

I've given the new GUI a go muxing some TV series, and I must say that I like it I thought that I would have problems adjusting to it but it seems that I'm able to do my stuff much easier and faster with the new GUI.

One small request though: would it be possible to have a separate default language for audio and subtitles?

[Mosu]

Yeah, though that means I'll have to provide one for video tracks, too. I'll add a feature request with medium priority.

Such explanaitons are confuse me :-)

For example: Let's assume a parent atom with flag hidden set to true; that parent contains two child atom, the first with hidden set to true as well and the second child with the flag either set to false or not present at all (in which case the default value applies, and that again is false).

The first child node is hidden and a second not...mmh i dont understand.

I think LAV Splitter is the new standard for mkv. A hidden chapter will not shown but all the nested chapters.
Disabled chapters will be ignored and not shown (include all nested chapters).


Mosu: Who was that one doing the chapter specs?

[Mosu]

Steve Lhomme, if I remember correctly.

Would it be possible to allow using keyboard shortcuts to reorder tracks (i.e. the + and - numpad buttons) in addition to drag-and-drop? It can be kind of difficult to perform a drag-and-drop if the user's input device isn't a mouse.

[Mosu]

It's on the TODO list, but it turns out to be quite difficult to implement (the algorithm that does the actual moving – not the keyboard interaction with it).

Can't you just remove and insert items in a list? I needed to do it 3 weeks ago for WinForms DataGridView so I searched for code I can use, several people posted examples but none supported multi selection so I used the code I wrote for ListView, it works the same, just moves the item above or below the selection.

The thing is to decide which items go where – especially taking multiple selections and appended tracks into account. They cannot be moved everywhere (an appended audio track mustn't be moved to a video track etc). Then there are things like if you have both a parent and some of its children selected then user usually only wants the parent moved (and all of its children with the parent) – but the selected children should not be moved after the parent has been moved. Etc.

The code is far from trivial, and it's finicky to test. It's also a problem that there are two structures that have to be kept in sync: the GUI's list widget and the internal configuration settings.

The devil is in the details. »just remove and insert« isn't as easy as you make it sound. See here for the current implementation. Not overly long, but getting it right, especially for the corner cases, is the tricky part.

I've got the code for moving tracks already, but moving files hasn't been implemented yet. It'll be similar, but it'll also have to take even more situations into account as there are additional parts to consider, too.

And if I provide such controls for the track and file lists then users will request similar controls for the chapter editor, the job queue… The chapter editor will be fun, too, as I have to think about useful key bindings for »move level up/down«, too, not just »move up/down on the same level«.

Wow, thanks for this:

MKVToolNix GUI: new chapter editor feature: implemented loading chapter entries from Blu-ray playlists.
