MKVToolNix v83.0 released

[SeeMoreDigital]

Hi Mosu,

I don't know if anybody else has mentioned it but I'm happy to confirm that if you have an .mkv file that contains an HEVC video stream (stream #1) and a Dolby Vision stream (stream #2) that was created using the newest version of your Matroska muxer, if you drag and drop your .mkv file into the new 'open-source' build of TSmuxer GUI the new .m2ts file contains a perfectly viable Dolby Vision stream, which works perfectly.

So what-ever you've done, you've done a great job


Many, many thanks

[Mosu]

Interesting — as I actually haven't really changed anything in the HEVC code for quite a while apart from this one bug fix.

But I'll take it!

Yep it's great news...

If I have the time next week I'll re-mux a long duration movie (probably 2001: A Space Odyssey) to make sure everything remains in-sync and report back.

I have extracted chapters from an existing mkv file using InviskaMKVExtract. The extracted files work fine (drag and drop) in MKVToolNix GUI v41.0.0, but v42.0.0 doesn't accept them.

I pasted a sample chapter file here: https://pastebin.com/HHw12Z5X

Very-probably it's QT's fault --- the same problem happens with the GUI of tsMuxeR.

Should have already been fixed (issues 2718).

I used "split after specific timestamps" for the first time today. It rocks! A movie has 2min 27sec of music with no video at the beginning. I split it into two, and not only was that flawless, but it corrected the chapter marks also! Cool!

Well, that's a matter of perspective. As the original EXE is working perfectly fine while a program designed to mess around with a perfectly-fine-working EXE fails to produce another perfectly-fine working EXE, I'd argue that it's the messing-around program (UPX) that's at fault.

[Mosu]

Hey y'all,

let's do a second release in January, fixing a couple of annoyances that crept in lately. Just a smaller maintenance release; nothing earth shattering. But see for yourself down below.

Nothing's changed for package managers.

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 43.0.0 "The Quartermaster" 2020-01-26
New features and enhancements

• MKVToolNix GUI: using one of the command line options "--info", "--edit-headers" or "--edit-chapters" will make the GUI select the corresponding tool on startup even if no further file name is given. Implements #2723.
• MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: added a setting in the preferences for changing the location of the MediaInfo executable for when the user accidentally selected the wrong one.

Bug fixes

• mkvmerge: AVC/h.264 parser: the order of the NALUs before each key frame was sometimes wrong: mkvmerge wrote SPS & PPS after SEI NALUs. Now SPS & PPS NALUs are always written before the other NALUs. Patch by Torsten Hauska. Part of the implementation of #2709 and part of the fix of #2250.
• mkvmerge: AVC/h.264 parser: when additional SPS or PPS NALUs (with IDs that haven't been seen so far) are found mid-stream, mkvmerge will prepend all following key frames with all current valid SPS & PPS NALUs (just like when SPS & PPS NALUs are overwritten mid-stream). Part of the fix of #2250.
• mkvmerge: MPEG TS reader: fixed detection of MPEG-1/2 video tracks consisting of very few frames. Fixes #2732.
• mkvmerge: Ogg Opus reader: fixed the handling of Ogg Opus streams that contain a just one Ogg page ("mkvmerge" aborted with an exception). Fixes #2722.
• MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: dragging & dropping XML files with chapters or tags to the GUI's window was broken in v42. Instead of adding the file names to the appropriate input boxes the GUI was running mkvmerge for file identification purposes which then failed. Fixes #2718.

Have fun

Nice work Mosu! Thank you for release.

So, did it work well?

As a matter of fact.... Yes it did. Perfectly

Hello,

Small suggestions:
job_output screenshot



Status line:
- if "Completed OK" - in green color
- if "Failed" - red color

It would help to quick check if job is finished successfully or not.

Also working indicator (on bottom right) even after job has finished is in frozen state. I think it should disappear after job is done.

[zeropc]

Why was MKVToolNix support for macOS High Sierra and below dropped?

If a job wasn't successful, the "errors" indicator in the status bar would blink red and show a number > 0.

Because MKVToolNix now uses C++ features that Apple only supports on macOS 10.14 (Mojave) or newer.

I see. Thanks for the info

[saracas]

I have three questions:

- How does one make the remux (destination file) the exact same name as the original (source file), and also automatically delete source file when finished?

- How can I set the default track flag to YES by default? "Determine automatically" sets it to no even though it's the only sub track with foreign language audio.

- I am using a webui version of MKVToolNix which doesn't support drag and drop, when I add multiple files via Add Sources button it adds them all under the same job. If I drag and drop on Windows, I can add them as seperate jobs. How do I add multiple files as seperate jobs without drag and drop?

Thanks

[leon]
