SolveigMM MKV DirectShow Demuxer + Muxer Testing

[Sebastiii]

Thx

[Tacio]

Would someone explain differences/advantages between this splitter and Haali splitter?

[SamuriHL]

It can properly pass DTS-HD MA tracks from an MKV to ffdshow that aren't corrupted? Haali has a nasty bug that breaks bitstreaming with MKV/DTS-HD MA tracks that are made with anything other than MakeMKV. SolveigMM does not have this problem.

[Kurtnoise]

1/ Any chance to port these filters into Media Foundation ?

2/ Could you add these audio formats please ?

- A_EAC3
- A_MLP
- A_TRUEHD

edit: haali splitter is able to split matroska files w/ nested chapters, not this one iirc.

Guys i can't find a current source filter for muxing with Solveig.

New versions of Gabest splitter:

Either can not link the audio pin to muxer,

Or put MS DTV-DVD Audio decoder between source and muxer (for PCM), or put ffdshow audio decoder (for THD).

DTSHD-MA can be linked directly btw.

Dear developers, what do you suggest?

EDIT: Sorry, that's not the source filter issue; there must have been a problem on my PC: fixed.

The only issue left that i haven't been able to fixed is
to connect the subtitle:



Any ideas?

Hi,
I've tried this new build but I can't select streams from ffdshow because video track are listed in audio section and audio tracks are listed in sub section !!!
Other issues are:
1- "No Subtitles" still not selected by default if none of other sub streams have default/forced flag set
2- PGS sub doesn't work, only tested with mks embbeded PGS sub

May be in future. "For some time there will be a co-existence of Media Foundation and DirectShow." WIKI .
Could you explain why do you need this?

There are already A_TRUEHD
(with MEDIASUBTYPE_DOLBY_TRUEHD eb27cec4-163e-4ca3-8b74-8e25f91b517e)
and A_EAC3 (with FOURCCMap(0x2000) as for regualar A_AC3)
If you have files which can't be opened please upload it to some hosting we will check that.

Could you say what is A_MLP and how subtype info should be saved (in matroska codecs spec there is no such format)
Or provide the mkv file with such audio.

What is subtype information on property page of subtitle pin graphstudio shows? (right mouse click on pin -> Properties)

Not exactly catch that, could you provide the screenshot of the problem? The Stream Selection managed by the Splitter itself not by ffdshow.

1. Yes, The first issue was missing. Will fix it on next update.

2. PGS subs was tested only once (with only one file), so could you provide your file by uploading to some hosting? I'll check that.

It can dump playable ANNEXB VES for AVC video.

For my own tool, based on MF...

This is wrong...I've got some files with this subtype : {0xAF,0x87,0xFB,0xA7,0x02,0x2D,0xFB,0x42,0xA4,0xD4,0x05,0xCD,0x93,0x84,0x3B,0xDD}. I'll upload a sample tonight.

This page is outdated...this is clearly mentioned. You should read mkvtoolnix's code to be up-to-date.

I'll upload several samples tonight.

Thanks for samples,

If your tool is commercial you can directly contact us to discuss this.

Hi,
Here a mkv sample with embedded PGS, note that it works fine using Haali.

Hi Stan,

Here the requested screendump, splitter stream selection pop up menu is ok but it's not the case through ffdshow.

ok...trueHD is working but EAC-3 doesn't. Here is a sample.

[nevcairiel]

MLP is the format that TrueHD uses, well, or based on, anyway. TrueHD is an "enhanced" MLP. I don't know of any subtype for MLP itself, so maybe going with the TrueHD subtype is the best choice there.

[SamuriHL]

Take a look at the source code for ffdshow. I'm pretty sure it has some of the types in there. I can't remember if MLP was there or not.

[robpdotcom]

If it's any help, I have an mlp track; ffdshow shows it as TrueHD, and so does my AVR.

I've checked this sample it works fine using ffdshow as audio decoder. Which decoder did you use?

about mkvtoolnix i've found only in src code:
strlen(MKV_A_AC3)) || (t->codec_id == MKV_A_EAC3))
t->a_formattag = 0x2000;

and seems it has the same format tag. But which guids of subtypes it needs i didn't find.

If you provide the proof link which subtype needs when A_AC3 is used and when A_EAC3 it will be good. For now it remains as is.
