MkvТоMp4 v0.224 - rapid tool for repack Mkv to Mp4

[Mr. Monte]

I get this error when using the new 6.2.0 mkvextract

The last timecode processed before the error was encountered was 00:49:01.376000000.
Resync failed: no valid Matroska level 1 element found.

Would include support for Hi10p ??

x264 [error]: high profile doesn't support a bit depth of 10
x264 terminated with error: 4294967295

Just missing include support for Hi10p because the software is very, very good

[luke83]

mkv chapters are taken?
what's the meaning of the field "Encoding Parameters"? I don't want to re-encode. The conversion is very fast so i don't think it encodes the mkv but i've a dubt.

What's "repack parameters"?

If i check the option:"Enable MP4 Optimization when loading the file", the mp4 optimization is applied at every file loaded/converted?
I read that this feature can speed up the streaming of the file. I have all video on a sharecenter in my LAN and i see them on my ps3 without having pc turned on. Can this speed up the loading/streaming?

[oreons]

Mr. Monte,
Error is not repeated on my files.

Marchand,
You can encode Hi10p to 8bit. Version h264.exe in the tools directory support it.


luke83,

mkv chapters are taken?

Yes.

what's the meaning of the field "Encoding Parameters"? I don't want to re-encode. The conversion is very fast so i don't think it encodes the mkv but i've a dubt.

What's "repack parameters"?

By default, h264 and MPEG4 Visual format is repacking. The other formats encodes.

If i check the option:"Enable MP4 Optimization when loading the file", the mp4 optimization is applied at every file loaded/converted?

This option is for ready mp4 files. For repacked files optimization not needed.

[luke83]

thanks

hi,
i'm converting mkv with aac audio 6 channels into mp4 stereo. I checked AAC 2.0 encoding to downmix channels and Sox as DRC. When the conversion is finished, your software show me a yellow triangle of danger about the audio track. I says that the new track (2:14:ss) is shorter than the source (2:22:ss). Infact, when i open my video, the audio is good until that point. Then it's cutted out and no more audio.

What can i do?

[manolito]

The infamous size limit for WAVE files has struck again...

Other than doing the audio conversion separately, there is one thing you can try within MkvToMp4:

1. Make sure that the latest SoX version 14.4.1 is used. This version (kind of) supports WAVE files bigger than the usual size limit.

2. Edit the SoX parameters by inserting "--ignore-length" (without the quotes) at the beginning of the parameter list.


This will cause SoX to process the input file up to its real length. I have no idea if the following QAAC command will be able to process the whole file, you have to try this yourself...



Good luck

Thanks, I'll try

i'm converting the audio of the movie becouse i've this 2.1 on my tv lcd.
The original audio without DRC applied, sounds better but there is a difference between high sounds (effects,music) and low sounds (speeches)

I play it on my PS3 via HDMI

My tv has an option in audio named "Dolby Digital". Is there a way to make sound good without DRC?

EDIT:

Tools\sox\sox FAIL sox: missing filename
Sox terminated with error: 1

[manolito]

Yeah, I tried it myself, and it does not work because MkvToMp4 does not allow you to insert the "--ignore-length" parameter at the correct location.

The parameter must be inserted before the input file parameter, and MkvtoMp4 has no option to let the user edit the SoX command line. Something for oreons to correct...


If converting with DRC or not is a matter of personal taste. The default DRC command in MkvToMp4 also raises treble, so it might sound better depending on the source audio characteristics.



Cheers

Is there any command, option that would allow me to raise volume of converted AAC 2.0 track in mp4 files ? Many times when I'm downgrading from DTS final audio track volume is extremely low. Normalize option does not help much

[RamGuy]

I love this tool so much! But there is one thing I can't seem to wrap my head around, is there any way to get MkvToMP4 to not automatically downscale 1080P into 720P upon encoding of video? I can't seem to find any such option so I have to manually keep an eye out for MKV containing video streams that have to be encoded for it to be compatible with the MP4 container and the manually deactivate the rescaling myself.

And is it just me, or does it actually convert Dolby True HD to Dolby Digital (AC3) instead of just grabbing the actual Dolby Core which is a part of 99% of all Dolby True HD tracks? Why start converting when you can simply pull out the Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC3) 640kbps core within the True HD stream?

It also seems to be bingo whether converting DTS and DTS:HD into AC3 gets in sync with the video stream or not, are there some options I can enable to make this better? It often seem to either be 20-50 ms early or too late in many of my MKV to MP4 repacks.


EDIT: I also miss the possibility of choosing 0 when using constant bitrate encoding of the video streams, some of us have loads of hard drive space and just don't wont to spoil any quality out of the video stream and not wait for the VBR to process.

[oreons]

RamGuy,

Try this version: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7183431/0.224Test/5/MkvToMp4.exe

[Rat Killer]

I decided to come back and give this a try again. Thanks for all the development as it has come a long way. Mostly is working very well for me for mkv files where the video does not need recoding.

I am having a bit of difficulty with some mkv files that contain aac audio as the only track. All I really need is for the audio to pass through but I consistently get mp4 files with video only, no audio at all. I tried selecting enable aac, installed quick time, tried nero, quick time and core audio. All seem to still result in an mp4 with no audio.

mkv files with ac3 or dts audio do just fine.

What am I missing? Thanks for any suggestions.

This is my biggest grip with the current version. There seems to be no way to get the MKVtoMP4 toolkit to work with MKV's featuring AAC tracks at all.

I've tried to output it to Dolby Digital (AC3), tried using both 2.0 and Multichannel AAC but it's just not working, all my M4V files outputs a M4V file without audio altogether.

[ArcticFox]

Any way to fix this 2-4GB WAV file problem, I'm trying to convert my collection that I already ripped to MKV from my own sizeable collection of retail discs.

TV Shows are fine but I have 150+ movies that I really don't want to have to rip again.

I'd stick with MKV but I want compatibility with Apple devices and games consoles.

[ArcticFox]

Guess not then?
