Please contact the author with this error/warning message, a description of what you were trying to do, the command line used and which operating system you are using. Thank you."

Interestingly the first warning is at *exactly* the half of the movie (but not at the timecode where the two EVOs were splitted).

Mosu, does this warning have any practical meaning? Does it mean I should trash the new MKV because there's a glitch in it? If yes, is the glitch only in the new MKV or also in the original one? FWIW, I've checked the video at the 3 places the warnings mentioned and didn't notice any glitches. Does that mean I can safely ignore the warnings?
Yes, if there are no problems watching the file (these warnings only apply to video tracks) then you can ignore them. Actually I've disabled the warning this afternoon (after having uploaded the current build though). It was meant for myself for detecting errors in mkvmerge. However, due to the nature of video track timecodes especially with advanced codecs this warning is more often simply bogus and can be ignored. It usually unsettles users, that's why I'm removing it.

Besides, I'm always getting these warnings, if I remux one of the MKV files which were created by EVO -> Haali's Matroska Muxer. So this is not a problem related to the new EAC3 support. Maybe Haali's Matroska Muxer does something wrong?
Not necessarily

Quote:
(2) Muxing of the EAC3 track generally seems to work, at least I got no crashes, the file size seems to be right and the track is properly listed in MPC. Unfortunately I cannot really test whether the sound plays, because Haali's Media Splitter reports the EAC3 track in such a way that none of my EAC3 capable DirectShow filters can connect. I guess that's a problem in the Haali Media Splitter, cause the same thing happens if I use Haali's Media Splitter directly on EVO files or on MKV files with EAC3 in them created by Haali's Matroska Muxer.
Ok, thanks for the feedback. I can use graphedit and connect Haali's splitter with the Intervideo Audio Decoder and with the Dump filter; this works with "EVO-to-MKV-with-Haali" file as well as with a "EAC3-to-MKA-with-mkvmerge" file. The results are byte identical, so I'm pretty confident that I haven't screwed up completely

Quote:
P.S: I'm not sure whether 0xeac3 is the correct way to sign the track. I think rather not.
I don't quite understand what you mean.

I believe the Dump filter eats whatever you throw at it... But I can not for the life of me connect Haali's splitter with the Intervideo Audio Decoder. Maybe you have a newer version of the Intervideo Audio Decoder than I have? Or do you have a non-public newer build of Haali's splitter?

If I try to open a MKV file with an EAC3 track in it, MPC sais this:

"Media Type 0:
--------------------------
Audio: 0xeac3 48000Hz 6ch"

I thought "0xeac3" was what Haali reported as the audio format. I have a filter which can connect demuxed EAC3 files to the Intervideo Audio Decoder and I believe to remember that I saw it reporting 0xac3 and not 0xeac3. But I might be totally wrong. I'm not really an expert in this area...

Yeah, though I think that Haali only changed a bug with the Matroska CodecID in it. It's http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/mkx.I.2.exe The InterVideo AD is the one you've sent me.

Great - thanks for the link!

I can now confirm that EAC3 support in your latest mkvtoolnix version is fully working! At least everything works fine in my first test with one movie.

I'm wondering: Does that mean that EVO is "officially" supported by mkvtoolnix now?

No Neither VC1 nor h264 can be read from MPEG program streams yet.

Ok, but are MPEG2 and AC3 and EAC3 officially supported in EVO files? I'm asking because after reading your comment about adding EAC3 support to MPEG program streams, yesterday I tried to drop a little MPEG2/AC3 evo into mmg and it seemed to work just fine. However, the resulting MKV was too short. It was only 2-3 minutes instead of 6 minutes and the file size was also short.

Anyway, if this is not supposed to work yet, just ignore my post...

I know that there are several issues with the MPEG PS reader in mkvtoolnix. I want to improve it during the next days. The goal is definitely to have at least MPEG-2 and EAC3 working properly, maybe even VC-1.

The Departed Trailer from here stalls mkvmerge:

ftp://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/samples/evob/

I'll see if I can find more problematic evo files.

I know that the Departed trailer chokes mkvmege; I'm working on fixing it. Departed is also a VERY strange file because the packet IDs indicate "MPEG-2 video" but there's no sequence header found. Not even mplayer can play that file.

There is a tremendous opportunity to boost even more Matroska polularity at the moment since it is the only container that can easily contain VC1 and DD+ thanks to recent progress made on mkvtoolnix and Haali filter. With a complete and simple solution to backup HDDVD and BluRay the Divx success is not far way...

Potential bug report:
-------------------

I don't know if this a bug. I have used HDdVD Evo demux on the second part file of the HDDVD Total Recall to extract the DTS HD track. If I try then to mux it inside a mkv file use mkvtoolnix.
First I have got tons of "Warning: dts_packetizer: skipping XXX bytes " which is mkvtoolnix ignoring the HD part of the DTS track. That's fine with me since there are so many of them the warning log window which keeps all the history gets slower and slower. There should be a way to ignore these types of warning. In order to obtain a fast mux I use the command line.

Then 2/3 in the process I have the warning below:

----------------
...
Warning: dts_packetizer: skipping 780 bytes (no valid DTS header found). This mi
ght make audio/video go out of sync, but this stream is damaged.
DTS header information changed! - New format:

Warning: 'E:\L1_mainMovie.DTSHD.stream.01.mpa' track 0: The current packet's tim
ecode is smaller than that of the previous packet. This usually means that the s
ource file is a Matroska file that has not been created 100% correctly. The time
codes of all packets will be adjusted by 1542692ms in order not to lose any data
. This may throw A/V sync off, but that can be corrected with mkvmerge's "--sync
" option. If you already use "--sync" and you still get this warning then do NOT
worry -- this is normal. If this error happens more than once and you get this
message more than once for a particular track then either is the source file bad
ly mastered, or mkvmerge contains a bug. In this case you should contact the aut
hor Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>.

Warning: dts_packetizer: skipping 730 bytes (no valid DTS header found). This mi
ght make audio/video go out of sync, but this stream is damaged.

--------------



mkvtoolnix has incorrectly detected a change in the DTS audio track, then it switches back but add a huge delay. The consequence is that playback after two thirds of the file gives no sound and opening the mkv file takes much more time.

It could be a glitch with HD DVD Evo Demux or a bug in the detection algorithm of mkvtoolnix which instead of skipping the HD part of the DTS stream interprets it as an audio track change.

In any case I think an easy solution could be to ignore audio track change with incorrect audio channels (here -1), this would make mkvtoolnix much more resilient to damage sources.

Anyway, thanks for your great work

At least it works with 'Departed Trailer.evo'.

mkvmerge does not yet support DTS HD tracks. If it thinks that it is DTS then you're on your own at the moment.

You should get the best speed by redirecting the output to another file, e.g.

mkvmerge ... -o output.mkv input.evo ... > log.txt

While I agree that a feature to limit such a flood of message would be desirable I won't spend time on it. The little time I do have goes to improving EVO support in general.

Hmm, interesting. Can you upload that file to my FTP server? The problem with EVO support is that I have virtually no access to such files except for the ones you guys provide.
