mkvtoolnix 4.1.1 released - Page 78

Daemon404 · 20th April 2010, 17:38

Yes it happens with every type of every file. I've tried several more now (various things in avi, mp3, flac, wavpack, srt, and combinations of these as well as the ones i previously listed). I don't know if I can upload a problematic file... since well, everything is problematic.

Both of us do compile it ourselves, and I will compile it with the requested settings and post the results.

Daemon404 · 20th April 2010, 19:30

Ok so disabling precompiled headers didnt do anything, but enabling debug fixes it.

Mosu · 20th April 2010, 19:33

So it works fine with debugging enabled? Then it's a gcc bug (I've had those before with old gcc, e.g. 4.1.x, and high optimizations).

Daemon404 · 20th April 2010, 21:14

Oh boy I love gcc bugs.

Hi Moritz

I'm not sure which is at fault here, but thought to report it. I've noticed that whenever creating AVI files with mencoder which contain AAC audio from FAAC, regardless if one uses object=2 (for LC AAC) or not in the options, they all end up being reported by MediaInfo as being Main profile in the MKV. This happens when directly taking the AAC audio from the AVI, ie mkvmerge -o output.mkv myfile.avi. However, if repeating the same but this time dumping the AAC audio with -of rawaudio and then using the audio file to feed mkvmerge, MediaInfo correctly reports LC profile when object=2 is used for encoding (and it reports Main profile when object=1 is used, which is correct). I've also compared the results of another muxer (MP4Box) and if I use object=1 while encoding and then muxing to mp4, MP4Box correctly reports it being Main profile AAC. When object=2 is used during encode, MP4Box reports it as being LC profile, which is correct. So, I suspect either mkvmerge has a small bug when dealing with AAC audio in AVI or MediaInfo does but I'm not sure which one.

Mosu · 22nd April 2010, 12:46

Sorry, cannot help you with such minor issues at the moment due to lack of time.

stax76 · 22nd April 2010, 13:05

Maybe the problem is mkvmerge cannot detect aac mode from raw aac data so it detects it from container meta data and avi don't hold such data. A simple solution is to not mux AAC in AVI but rather in MKV.

Hi,
don't know whether this had be reported before:

I tried the old 2.... and the new 3... (latest) version same behavior. I re-encode a BD with x264 (vs.1541), one job was ok, the otherone, no matter what I tried, got imported as DTS audio. Same parameter on both re-encodes (but different bitrate).

My workaround: I made an .mp4 (with MP4Box) and it was imported as H264 AVC (4.1, HP.....).

Resulting MKV was perfectly playing and in sync. I opened both in WinHex to compare the header and the looked the same.

Let me know if you need more details. Can send you a few seconds of the re-encode.

mike

P.S.
Not urgent, since I have a workaround...

Mosu · 28th April 2010, 11:42

No, I haven't heard from such an issue yet. It would if you could upload the first 20 MB or so of the h264 file that mkvmerge thinks is a DTS file to my FTP server.

trondmm · 29th April 2010, 17:54

Hi.

I'm using mkvtoolnix 3.3.0 on 64 bit Ubuntu 9.10

I'm trying to use mkvpropedit to set the correct language for the audio track, and also to add a name for the track. However, after I've changed the language, mkvinfo will no longer find any tracks at all, and mplayer won't play the file. VLC will still play it, though, and if I use mkvpropedit to delete the language property, everything's back to normal.

The command I'm using is:
$ mkvpropedit title00.mkv -e track:a1 -s language=nor

and here is the output of mkvinfo before and after I set the language property

Is this normal? Am I not using mkvpropedit right? Or is this a bug in either mkvpropedit or mkvinfo (and mplayer)?

If I use mkvmerge to remux the file, like this:

$ mkvmerge -o new.mkv --language 2:nor title00.mkv

everything works fine, and mkvpropedit can change language on this new file without any problems. This takes quite a long time, though, so I would really prefer it if I could use mkvpropedit.

Mosu · 29th April 2010, 18:25

Known problem that should be fixed in my Git repo. Get the sources from there and compile your own version -- it's pretty easy. See http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkv...ubuntu_package

Mosu · 29th April 2010, 18:34

Ah wait. I've misinterpreted what you've written.

mkvpropedit and mkvinfo are working normally. What happens is this:

You add data to the track headers by setting the language. Now the track headers do not fit into the space they've occupied before. Therefore mkvpropedit writes them at the end of the file and adjusts the meta seek elements so that they point to the new place.

Quote:

mkvinfo will no longer find any tracks at all

mkvinfo is a development tool. It reads a file from beginning to the end. If it doesn't encounter a track info element before the first cluster then it won't report the tracks. Simple as that.

If you want to know which tracks are present then use "mkvmerge --identify yourfile.mkv" which acts like a player should act by reading and analyzing the meta seek elements and reading the track info even if it is located at the end of the file.

Quote:

mplayer won't play the file

This is most likely a bug in mplayer.

Everything's working as intended.

Keiyakusha · 8th May 2010, 17:07

Hi Mosu. If I have mkv file with audio, video and chapters. When I open it in mkvmergeGUI, it shows active "Language" dropdown menu for these chapters. However if I'll set some language there, mux new file and open this saved file in mkvmerge again, then field in this menu shows "undetermined". I just wondering is this how it should be or should it recognize the language that was set before (like with video/audio tracks)?

Mosu · 8th May 2010, 17:16

The content of the chapter editor are not written to the output file when you start muxing in mmg. Yes, it's a bad design, but that's the way it is at the moment. Think of the chapter editor as a separate program. Save the chapters to a XML file, chose that XML file in the "global" tab and mux it.

MrVideo · 9th May 2010, 16:57

While doing some experimentation, I used x264 to encode video as filename.264. I usually output as filename.mp4. When I mkvmerge the filename.mp4 with the audio, the framefrate is correct (23.976).

But the filename.264 video gets set to the default 25 fps for some reason, even though mediainfo reports that the original frame rate of the filename.264 is 23.976 fps.

What do I need to place on the mkvmerge command line to set the frame rate to 23.976?

Thanks.

sneaker_ger · 9th May 2010, 17:40

"--default-duration" "0:24000/1001fps" ("0" being the TID)

Thanks. It worked, after getting home and testing it.

Mosu · 10th May 2010, 09:41

As a note I have code that will read the FPS information from the AVC bitstream so that one shouldn't have to add that parameter in cases as yours. However, that has to be tested before I can release it.

Hey,

I've released mkvtoolnix v3.4.0. This release contains several important bug fixes and a few new features. Two new translations (Russian and Ukrainian) have been added.

There are two changes for package maintainers and folks building their own copy from the source: 1. the two new translations I've mentioned and 2. mkvtoolnix requires the new releases libebml v0.8.0 and libmatroska v0.9.0 available at http://dl.matroska.org

Here are the usual links...

...to the home page:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/

...to the source code:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkv...-3.4.0.tar.bz2

...to the Windows installer and 7zip archive:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkv....4.0-setup.exe
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkv...icode-3.4.0.7z

All binaries that I provide myself have already been uploaded.

Here's the full ChangeLog since release 3.3.0:

------------------------------------------------------------
2010-05-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v3.4.0.
* build: Building mkvtoolnix now requires libebml v0.8.0 and libmatroska v0.9.0 or later.
* all: Added a translation into Ukrainian by Serj (see AUTHORS).

2010-05-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Windows installer: Added the choice to run the installer in the same languages that the GUIs support. Patch by Serj (see AUTHORS) with modifications by myself.

2010-04-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

2010-04-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: Added a translation into Russian by Serj (see AUTHORS).

2010-04-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge will not output a message that it has extracted the display dimensions from AVC/h.264 bitstream if the source container (e.g. Matroska) overrides that setting. Fix for bug 485.

2010-04-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg's header editor, mkvpropedit: Fixed crashes with files created by Haali's GS Muxer containing "content encoding" header elements.
