Matroska FAQ - Page 2

Nemesis7 · 18th January 2010, 23:16

Does matroska support tagging like mp4box does? It would be great to be able to put all of the movie information (title, director, plot, rating, etc.) and the movie poster into 1 file.

Nevermind: it does support tagging. Any manual on this?

Keiyakusha · 19th January 2010, 05:23

Foobar2000 is able to write mkv tags. But no cover. But I think support for this tags in mediaplayers is not so good.

Could the OP be updated for HD audio like true-hd and DTS-HD? More mkv's are released with hd-audio and im having big problems with Haali in this matter.

Doom9 FAQs don't cover pirated content as a rule.

MKVMerge can now merge SUP subs as well.

Also, you can remux your own purchased BDs with TrueHD and DTS-HD MA, so such discussions don't necessary relate to piracy. Not all countries have laws similar to the US, such that breaking a DRM scheme to make a personal copy isn't necessary a violation of the law.

Inspector.Gadget · 21st July 2010, 16:22

Key word: "released". Nobody here disputes the right of people to back up media they own, and in fact such an update would be useful for dealing with such files made legitimately.

The FAQ could do with information about HD audio stream compatibility in hardware playback devices.

Particularily clarification regarding the, one audio stream per audio track limitation.

Cheers

You mean that we can't have THD+core as one track? This is mkvmerge limitation, not matroska.

Hi

Are there any program to edit tag info in mkv?
Of course with no remuxing necessity.

Bye

szabi · 21st October 2010, 07:49

It looks like no way.

sneaker_ger · 21st October 2010, 09:01

You can do it using mkvtoolnix.
Use mkvmerge GUI > File > Header Editor or "mkvpropedit" over the command line.

szabi · 21st October 2010, 18:28

Yeah, it is working.
Thanx.

Have you guys had a hard time trying to put any MPEG-2 contents into a MKV container? I think Youtube is not recognizing these kinds of files, and I am unable to convert this thing properly. In this case, it was some extra featurette from a DVD converted by MakeMKV. I will look into this thoroughly, but I was wondering if MKV really supports MPEG-2.

szabi · 6th November 2010, 06:29

I did it some months ago and there was no problem with it, but i did not check whether youtube can use it or not.

Yes, it does.
Older versions of Haali Media Splitter had no problems with MPEG-video in Matroska.

Good morning.

Briefly explain the problem I have found

My goal is to be included in the MKV container stream of the DVD.
To do this I am currently experimenting PGCDemux to extract video and audio stream, use DVDSubEdit also to extract forced subtitles. After use mkvmerge to make the final muxing

I noticed this problem:
Why is the subtitle stream format ".sup" demuxed from DVD (DVDSubEdit) is not loaded and that on the Blu-ray disc is loaded normally?

sup file from DVD demuxed

sup file from Blu-ray demuxed

thanks

sneaker_ger · 22nd November 2010, 17:48

Those are essentially different formats. mkvmerge can use .idx/.sub style subs, though.

Have you taken a look at makemkv?
It decrypts and copies the main movie (with all audio and subtitle tracks) to an mkv container in a single step and it's free for DVDs.

DMD · 23rd November 2010, 08:24

This is true, however, one must consider an important question:

As far as forced subtitles, these are inserted nell'autoryng in two different ways,
A-independent stream
B-integrated stream

MakeMKV only works well with an independent stream.
As for the integrated stream, they are integrated into the main stream of the subtitles, you must follow a different procedure.

1 - to perform the procedure with completav MakeMKV selecting subtitles.

2 - demux the streams with MKVExtractorGui2

3-Drawing of the forced flow with BDSup2Sub

4 - remuxing with mkvmerge Streams

Performing the test I noticed that integrating the subtitles in srt format, instead sub / idx,
the quality of the subtitles is better.
What say you should follow the standard DVD (sub / idx) srt or you can enter without problems?

sub/idx Original DVD

srt

THANKS

sneaker_ger · 23rd November 2010, 08:30

Yes, too bad players don't allow to play only the forced part of a subtitle track in mkv, while they can do it for dvds.

DMD · 23rd November 2010, 08:35

Sorry for the off topic question, if you want to answer I posted here
