Well, but that's the argument here. 2-channel PCM transport (presumably over SPDIF) is useless for HD audio since the limit is 640kbps/1536kbps. Multi-channel PCM transport over HDMI is the issue, and I stand by my argument: it's only possible by way of special player applications which only support TrueHD/DTS-HD/PCM from HD disc sources, not FLAC or any other DirectShow-bridged format.

You're missing the point. I never claimed that the ATI card would do multichannel PCM transport. It doesn't. Nor does it do TrueHD nor DTS-HD. Neither from MPC nor from PowerDVD nor from WinDVD. I mentioned the ATI card because you claimed that there'd be no system-wide audio driver for the audio part of a HDMI enabled video card - and you're clearly wrong there.

Have you found a link to backup this claim in the meanwhile? I believe you're wrong.

Well, it doesn't take much creativity to interpret my claim correctly: There's no system-wide audio driver for transporting HD audio over HDMI.

Actually, that's what I wrote:

but if I recall correctly the current implementations of HDMI 1.3 on video cards don't provide a system-wide audio driver at all, i.e. you won't be able to send arbitrary audio samples over HDMI at all

Humble question, madshi, honai. How is your discussion over the last 10-15 posts relevant to MVKToolnix? Actually I have a hard time figuring that out. And if it was not relevant, wouldn’t it be better to continue this in a separate thread?

@Brother John, the discussion was about the question whether it's worth adding TrueHD muxing support to mkvtoolnix. But you're right that it got too much OT, so I'll stop discussing now.

I have an issue with MMG -- it's not possible to remux an existing mkv (in my case it's avc + ac3) with different frame rate -- the field for fps is grey.

Waiting for a fix if it's possible.

You have to use a timecode file for that. The only format fps is enabled for is raw h.264 (afaik), and only because mkvmerge isn't capable of reading the real framerate out of it. (Since it can in all other formats, the option is disabled.)

My understanding is that forcing timecodes keeps people from screwing up their sync all the time, but I'm not mosu.

.evo is accepted, but I think that mmg's "open file" dialog doesn't list it. But drag & drop should work, as should selecting "all files" in the "open file" dialog and then selecting the .evo.

Transport streams (m2ts) are not supported and will probably not be supported in the near future.

That's not a bug. mkvmerge's "--default-duration" parameter (which is the one that is used for this particular field in mmg) only works with a select number of formats, especially with those that do not contain timecode/FPS information in them. The example foxyshadis has pointed out is the usual case where'd you use this parameter. Raw h264 tracks only contain the frames itself, but neither a timecode for each frame nor a frame rate in general. But for most of the other container/raw formats mkvmerge can actually derive the timecodes from them. Therefore the control is disabled in mkvmerge.

Note that in Matroska you don't simply have a FPS field in a header that you can simply change as you have in an AVI file. In Matroska each frame has its own timecode. Therefore changin the FPS always requires remuxing the whole file.

If you definitely must change all the timecodes then you have to use timecode files, just as foxyshadis has pointed out.

Hi there Mosu, I'm having a issue with v2.1.0 here:

Whenever I try to convert a OGM file (doesn't matter which) to MKV the file is unplayable, Haali Splitter+MPC report the file having 00:00.

If I convert the files using v2.0.2 (build 20070426) the MKV files work fine.

As I said this happens with any OGM file here but I can upload one to you if needed.

I understand, but in my case it's raw AVC track inside mkv, if I understand correctly. So for me there seems no problem to REmux it with another framerate.

Tima, use a timecode file. Just go to Start -> All Programs -> MKVtoolnix -> Documentation -> Command Line Reference -> mkvmerge CLI reference and read the chapter on External Timecode Files. You'll see that it's really simple and you don't have to use the CLI either, the GUI can do it too.

In your case, just make a text file, write something like
Code:
# timecode format v1
assume 23.970
inside it, and then remux your file using that timecode for the video track. How to do it in the mkvmerge GUI should be easy to figure out.

Note:
1. change 23.970 with whatever fps value you want.
2. if your h264 video is vfr though, you can't do anything since you most likely don't know the timestamps for each frame.

KoD, actually the value should be 23.976. 24/1.001 = 23.976.

mosu, is there any chance to have dts-hd (ma & hr) and trueHD support, in .mka or .mkv for example? would be nice to have for all those upcoming hd dvd and blue-ray remuxes

Crash on splitting

Hi, I am trying to use mkvmerge to split an H264 mkv file into two parts. The first part file is created without any problems, soon after the second file is created mkvmerge crashes.

I am using latest version on Windows Vista, this is the crash info that I get:

Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: mkvmerge.exe
Application Version: 0.0.0.0
Application Timestamp: 46c82da7
Fault Module Name: msvcrt.dll
Fault Module Version: 7.0.6000.16386
Fault Module Timestamp: 4549bd61
Exception Code: 40000015
Exception Offset: 00065d45
OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.768.3
Locale ID: 1033
Additional Information 1: 98bc
Additional Information 2: 744c5eb18e59789eb9c90085a0575d9d
Additional Information 3: 87a2
Additional Information 4: 861d039c8c7d8f1f8ede4cf681494220

I tried splitting using timecodes and the "after duration" function. Both crash at the same point.

The mkv file was created using meGUI with the latest updates. I keep my system pretty clean and I don't have any spyware/crap installed.

Is there any other info I can give you guys to find out the root cause of this crash?

Yes, please upload a file. The OGM files I have here don't show this behaviour, so I'm not sure what could be wrong (especially as I haven't worked on the OGM reader for quite some time). Maybe uploading the first 50 MB or so should be enouh for me to check it out.

I've just received some info from madshi regarding DTS-HD, so it should be possible for me. However, I don't do a lot of coding at the moment, so don't hold your breath.

Yeah, I know that there are a couple of problems with mkvmerge's handling of h264 splitting (not only that; the problems are more profound, it's just that h264's frame ordering can be a lot more problematic that other codec's, that's why mkvmerge's simplified assumptions work on most codecs but sometimes not on h264). I don't have an ETA for a fix.

well it does not have to be done by the end of the day, but it would be nice to have it before UHD or something like that with new file systems (which would need support too), becomes a new standard :P
thanks!
