So yeah, having dual-layer-both-layers-in-same-track sample files would definitely help.

MKVToolNix v58.0.0 released
Heyo,
Summer is here, and so is MKVToolNix v58.0.0. Unlike the previous releases a lot more time has gone into it. The most noticeable change (to end users at least) is how the "default track" flag is handled, bringing it up to how the latest spec says the flag should be handled by players. Another prominent change is which MIME types are used for attached fonts on Windows. See the news below for details on both changes. There were a couple of changes for packages, though none of them should actually require work on recent distros. Again, see the news below for details. Last, but not least: get vaccinated if at all possible, y'all! 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 58.0.0 "Supper's Ready" 2021-06-13 New features and enhancements
Bug fixes
Build system changes
Other changes
Have fun 😁

Huh? Both the installers & the executables after installation are signed; I just re-checked (explorer → right-click on exe → properties → tab "Digital signatures") to make sure. Same for the exes in the 7z archives. So… what exactly are you talking about?

Ugh, looks like the timestamp signature authority service is… somewhat broken? Dunno. I'll switch to a different one for the next release.

mkvtoolnix 58: font attachments mime-type not so standard?
In my tests on Windows, GUI recognizes by default:
- .ttf as font/sfnt (technically correct) rather than font/ttf - .otf as application/vnd.ms-opentype (still legacy?) rather than font/otf (or font/sfnt) - .ttc as font/ttf (wrong?) rather than font/collection For the standardized font mime types, one can check https://www.iana.org/assignments/med...pes.xhtml#font |

Yeah, I've upgraded the "file" library used for MIME type detection, and it seems it isn't that good at that. Someone else already opened an issue for it. I plan to replace it by using Qt's MIME type detection which seems to work correctly with my (very) limited set of test files (both OTF & TTF fonts), but that requires quite a bit of work on the code in "configure", which is easily my least place to work in.
As stated in the NEWS file, there is an option in the preferences to use the MIME type that the Windows version of MKVToolNix had used for TrueType fonts (.ttf, not font collections) up until v57, application/x-truetype-font. You can enable that for the time being.

Hi Moritz,
sorry to waste your time with this silly question but: when I select "CTRL+D" (and probably other functions) the default destination file name changes from single slash to double slash. I know both are correct but is there actually a reason for this? I mean, either start the default with double slash or just leave it single all the time, right? lol I also don't remember this happening before a few versions ago. Greetings |

@odino I don't follow. For me nothing changes in the destination file name when I press Ctrl+D. Can you please be a bit more specific? What exactly is the destination file name set to before you press Ctrl+D, and what does it change to? And which operating system & which MKVToolNix version are you using?

I would love for compression "determine automatically" to be disabled by default, subsidiarily, an option to keep my choice to disable compression. It's frankly a bit of silly thing to have it enabled, in this day and age of 4K HDR10+ content. Stop marketing your software like any other cheap xvid bot.

It is lossless compression and is basically universally supported. Why wouldn't you want it enabled?

This is a spurious error you can ignore. I've already fixed that yesterday locally, but I haven't pushed that commit to the repository yet. The program will work fine even with the warning shown as libmagic isn't used for MIME type detection anymore — that installation check is simply something I forgot to remove.

That being said: Preferences → "Multiplexer" → "Default values" → "Disable additional lossless compression for all track types".

Because it takes an insane amount of sheer wasted time. The notion that mkvnix can compete with/outdo x265, compression-wise, is frankly, a bit delusional. But if mkvnix can significantly compress a HEVC stream, losslessly, beyond what x265 already could, and all in ca. 30 minutes, then I doff my cap at you. But I doubt it.

Indeed... It's 'hardware' media player friendly!
