MKVToolNix v49.0.0 released
Hey y'all,
this is more or less a small bugfix release of MKVToolNix. One rather important new feature is support for the new Matroska elements introduced for storing additional codec-initialization data needed for techniques such as MVC (3D video) or Dolby Vision metadata. mkvmerge cannot produce them itself yet, but it will keep the data that's present, e.g. when reading files created by MakeMKV. Important news for package managers is that libMatroska v1.6.1 is now required (that one was released earlier today). As usual MKVToolNix bundles that version as a fallback. Here are the usual links: the MKVToolNix home page, the Windows installer/portable version & macOS DMG & Linux AppImage and the source code. The Windows and macOS binaries as well as the Linux AppImage are available already. The other Linux binaries are still being built and will be available over the course of the next couple of hours. Here are the NEWS since the previous release: Version 49.0.0 "Sick Of Losing Soulmates" 2020-08-02 New features and enhancements
Bug fixes
Build system changes
Have fun

I was playing with test samples and the headers seem to be kept just fine (mkvinfo says so at least). I was wondering if there were plans to be able to edit these (block addition mapping, and all) with mkvpropedit (or the GUI), as they don't seem to be in the current list. It's possible that is what you refer to for Quote:

No plans for making those fields editable with mkvpropedit/the header editor. The reason is that they're codec-specific data. I don't make CodecPrivate available for editing either.

Hey Mosu, can you tell me exactly what changed between v47.0.0 and v48.0.0/v49.0.0 regarding to Qt so I can try to open a bug report about the dual-monitor issue over the Qt bug tracker?

v47 was built with Qt 5.14.2, v48 with Qt 5.15.0. Apart from that no changes wrt. to monitor or menu or display handling were made on my end.

Small question about chroma sub sampling signaling.
From https://mkvtoolnix.download/doc/mkvmerge.html I gathered that for:

The wording of that option sure is bizarre, but either way, for 4:4:4 its clearly 0,0 since nothing is being removed. And 4:2:2 has full vertical resolution, so it should be 1,0.
I have never seen a MKV that uses that information though, when raw video is contained in MKV its usually with a FourCC to identify it or similar means, and encoded video carries that information in its bitstream.

I actually don't know. Those options & the accompanying documentation was contributed by someone else.

That's great, thanks! I usually update my build environment once a month and should pick up 5.15.1 quickly after its release.

Do you know any util to do this? I'm asking because of this. (Although I don't even know whether it's possible without reencoding.)

I strongly doubt that you can convert HDR formats without re-encoding.

Thanks, but for whatever reason the Oppo deal with HDR10+ in a different way. @butterw2 just wrote how to flag these differently using ffmpeg. That's what I need for experimenting. I'll continue with this in this thread.

MKVToolNix v50.0.0 released
Hello everyhone,
another month, another MKVToolNix release. This one includes quite a high number of commits under the hood due to the prominent new feature I've implemented: support for the new IETF BCP 47 language elements. Finally you can express things such as "Portuguese as spoken in Brazil" or "Serbian in Cyrillic script as spoken in Serbia". Apart from that there are the usual enhancements & bug fixes. Important news for package managers is that the PCRE2 library is now required (only its UTF-8 variant). Here are the usual links: the MKVToolNix home page, the Windows installer/portable version & macOS DMG & Linux AppImage and the source code. The Windows and macOS binaries as well as the Linux AppImage are available already. The other Linux binaries are still being built and will be available over the course of the next couple of hours. Here are the NEWS since the previous release: Version 50.0.0 "Awakenings" 2020-09-06 New feature: IETF BCP 47 language tags
Other new features and enhancements
Bug fixes
Build system changes

1) Can the progress percentage appear in the CLI window title?
2) While lists of MKV files, as contents of storage media, appear in televisions, players, file managers or other interfaces, will attached images show as covers? They didn't in my case but I didn't try newer systems. Is the tag "Cover:Yes" required? |

No, and I have no intention of implementing something like that.
From Matroska's side there is no official mechanism to mark attached pictures as cover images. Convention is to name them "cover.[ext]". If and how they're used is up to the software reading the files.

Just from a usability standpoint, it's no longer possible to select a track in the multiplexer input panel, click language, then quickly type 'eng' (or whatever you choose) for to select the language you want. Instead, you have to click the very small edit button which has a much smaller click area than the input field that used to show in there instead.
What's more interesting is, if you double click on the label next to the edit button, the "Extended subtags" dropdown receives focus and opens, making it even more inconvenient to try to change the language component (you have to close the dropdown, Shift+Tab to go to language, type in the letters, then press enter). These changes add unnecessary user actions. Instead, might I suggest keeping the language dropdown visible on the main multiplexer panel (while still having the edit button), allowing one to quickly change languages while still having the option of defining a more specific language tags through the edit button? |
