MKVToolNix v24.0.0 released

[Mosu]

You cannot open more than one instance because you don't have to. You can open as many tabs inside that instance as you want. You can continue working while the program is muxing.

Additionally starting the program when an instance is already running is adding the files the second instance was started with to the running instance's current merge settings (think of drag & drop to an icon on the desktop or the »send to…« context menu facility).

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.

How did you manage to do that? The only way I can think of is that you accidentally manually selected the mkvmerge folder when choosing output, because I've blanked my settings file a few times and tried to open files different ways, and still can't get it to default to anywhere but the original file's folder. If you have a workflow that exposes a bug, it'd help to describe it. No one else has run into the restricted folder problem so far because it should never default there.

[Mosu]

It can happen in several cases. The file dialog receives an argument which directory to show initially. If that argument is empty then the file dialog will default to the current working directory, which in turn defaults to the folder the program's run from on Windows – with the installed version this is C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix by default.

If you start the GUI from a fresh installation ( = no settings saved yet), don't add a file but click on the »browse« button next to the output file name, then the dialog should default to the installation folder if I'm not mistaken. Now enter a name without actually checking the folder and you're in such a situation.

I will probably not spend time on making this foolproof, though. As we all know that would be futile The universe and bigger fools etc.

Add MKVToolNix in Video ContextMenu.
Add new window for "Success Mux" finish.
Add Up or Down Key for Tracks...

[Mosu]

First of all: I'm more inclined to listen to requests if you're actually polite. Just saying »do this« and »do that« doesn't fit the bill. Is it so hard to actually ask? Maybe even include a »please« somewhere?

I'm not sure what this means.

Nope, sorry. Such a dialog doesn't fit into the GUI's design. In the old GUI the workflow was limited: when it was muxing you couldn't do anything else with the GUI and had to wait for muxing to finish. In the new GUI, however, you can continue working just fine: create more mux jobs, edit chapters or file headers, you can even run more than one muxing job at the same time.

Add Up or Down Key for Tracks...

That's already implemented. There are actually three ways for re-ordering entries (not just tracks!):

1. Use drag & drop like in any other Windows application.
2. Hold Ctrl and press the cursor up/down keys while the list view has the focus.
3. Go to the preferences and enable »show buttons for moving list entries up and down«. Then you'll see push buttons like in the old GUI.

[Mosu]

Ah, I see. I won't spend time on it. Patches to the installer for such functionality would be welcome, though.

How to solve error in file structure?

I opened a given *.kmv file in mkvmerge GUI v8.3.0 which is included in package 8.4.0.
Without any changes I start muxing the video into a new file.

The log window shows after approx 30% an error:

E:\xxx.German.DL.1080p.BluRay.x264-ENCOUNTERS.mkv: Error in the Matroska file structure at position 1160154794. Resyncing to the next level 1 element.
The last timecode processed before the error was encountered was 00:32:38.261666662.
Still resyncing at position 1373987038.
Still resyncing at position 1615741628.
...

After a minute or so the muxing process is aborted and the target file contains only the first 32min.

So why is mkvmerge not able to detect/inspect the full video?

How can I repair the video ?

Good morning

When demuxing (using tsMuxeR) a file created with MKVToolnix 8.4.0-1 get the following error





When demuxing the same file created with MKVToolnix 8.3.0, demux is OK





It 'a problem that can be solved?

THANK YOU

[DragonQ]

Is there a way to view/copy the command line string being used by the MKVtoolnix GUI? I want to create a batch script but it's going to be a complicated merge of various files and I've done it in the GUI but am either not finding this button or it's not added yet?

Can you share samples of input and output files? If mkvmerge was to mux H.264 wrong it would be a huge problem.

[DragonQ]

Thanks!

all afternoon I'm carrying out tests to demux and remux MKV.
Now I am trying to make and demux with MKVExtractGUI2 2.2.2.29, then it makes remuxing and I check with tsMuxeR.
as soon as I finish I tell you what happens.

[DMD]

I made the demux with MKVExtractGUI2 and remuxing with mkvtoolnix GUI (8.4.0-1), after I did the test with tsMuxeR demux and process everything went OK with no errors.

I checked with Mediainfo the file, and do not understand the latest data highlighted that in the source file does not exist.
What's with that data?





MKV files source

[Asmodian]

Those are simply new data fields written my mkvmerge, they make it easier for players or other tools to get the duration of the file but they are not critical and don't do anything themselves.

[Megalith]

Does this give you the option of demuxing an .mkv?

[mike23]

I have a MKV file which can be played (in VLC) but seems to be not fully correct.

Example:
When I start to do some conversions for a video file and ffmpeg.exe a got an error:

[avi @ 00000000026a0520] H.264 bitstream malformed, no startcode found, use the video bitstream filter 'h264_mp4toannexb' to fix it ('-bsf:v h264_mp4t
av_interleaved_write_frame(): Invalid data found when processing input

I don't want to fiddle around with some parameters.

I want a simple solution.

So is there a "one-size-fits-all" solution :-)

e.g. something like

mmg.exe -checkandrepair -in=myvideo.mkv -out=myvideoout.mkv

It has demuxing (mkvextract) - but you need to add a GUI (it gives a link to a suitable GUI during installation): gMKVExtractGUI
