HD audio muxing capabilities of current mkv muxers

[rica]

OK guys recently we are talking about mkv muxers. I want to make a comparison between them.


Here are the mkv muxer filters used by the mkv muxers:

Haali: haali
MkvMerge Gui: mkvmerge
SolveigMM mkvmuxer: Libav
Makemkv: i don't care since it can only make mkvs from original BDs not from ISOs or folders.

The source files were always m2ts files in my trials btw.

Haali can only mux core ac3 or core dts;
workflow:
MPC mpeg Source > Haali matroska muxer

mkvmerge can mux dtshd+dts core but can not mux thd+ac3; it can only mux thd.

Solveig MM can mux dtshd+dts core and thd+ac3 core together;
workflow:
MPC mpeg source > Solveig muxer > File writer

MPC-Gabest mkv muxer:
I'm not able to get it worked since it adds decoders between source and destination filters.



I think under those circumstances we should only consider these muxers:
mkvmerge and Solveig:

Splitting mkv merge mkv files with:

1)haali:dtshd-ma doesn't work, thd -no ac3 core- works (haali splitter > ffdshow > d.direct sound)

2)gabest:both dtshd-ma and thd-no ac3 core- works (MPC matroska source(gabest) ffdshow > d.direct sound)

3)solveig: both dtshd-ma and thd-no ac3 core- works (file source(async) > Solveig matroska splitter > ffdshow > d.direct sound


Splitting solveig mkv files with:

1)haali:dtshd-ma doesn't work, thd works (haali splitter > ffdshow > d.direct sound)
2)gabest:doesn't work.
3)solveig: both dtshd-ma and thd works (file source(async) > Solveig matroska splitter > ffdshow > d.direct sound
