Can someon explain to me what use AAC5.1 is? I don't get it? Are there any amps that support aac5.1 pass through. How do you get multichannel sound to your speakers, it if not converting it to ac3?

Ahhh OK. Does anyone know any progs that can batch tag mp4 files by using the first entry it finds in theTVMovieDB?

Can anyone help me with Subtitles? I made a MKV with Handbrake of Avatar with the forced Subtitles. When I load the MKV in the program it shows:

Subtitle 1: (English Forced) Language: English Encoding: UTF-8 Format: SRT

After output the subtitles are not in the video, additionally there are no SRT files anywhere to be found. My subtitle options are:

Language: English
Codepage for non-unicode subtitles: Apple Roman
Correct subtitles for QT Player - checked
Load all internal subtitles - checked

In the resulting M4V files using MPC-HC there is not option for Subtitles, the file will not play in QT (1080p).

Additionally I guess AppleTV does not support "Forced" subtitles, I'm trying to find something that will burn the subtitles in the video. Does anyone know what I can use for this?

I just built a new computer and for the life of me I can't get the Arcsoft decoder to work. I can't figure out what the difference is between the new and old computer and the Arcsoft setup. I don't remember having to do anything special with my other machine. Can anyone give me some pointers?

Thanks Atak. I had already run Ripbot, so I am not sure what the problem is. I am also discussing the issue with Oreons in private as well. Strange.

bigzaj,
Write mediainfo log of m4v result file. ATV can switch the subtitle, see more in iTunes.

[john blox]

Hi, I know I asked before but it's really bugging me and taking up an inordinate amount of time that could be cured with a simple option:-

Could you in the Program Setup page on the tags tab add a checkbox option that says "Load tags/art from TheMovieDb when loading file"

This would populate the tags with the first found item in TheMovieDb and first found art for that item when you add the file.

Difficult to implement now.

[Balthazar2k4]

Finally solved the Arcsoft problem. Turns out that msvcp71.dll was missing in the eac3to that was packaged with my MKVtoMP4, but present in the eac3to that was packaged with RipBot. I was doing all of my testing on the eac3to with RipBot and it was working without issue with Arcsoft. It never occurred to me that they might in fact be different. I also didn't realize that MKVtoMP4 was suppressing the missing DLL error message, but after running its supplied eac3to from the command line it all became clear. Anyways, problem solved!

Thanks Atak and Oreons for the assistance.

This tool is awesome so huge thank to the developer

Is there any way to automate this at all? I want the same setting for each file and I'd like to pass them to be processed automatically.

[john blox]

I set this to work converting a lot of mkv's, with disk space gone I checked a few, seemed OK and so deleted the original mkv's to free up space only to discover some of them now have:-

1)NO audio in the file, only video! (sort by bitrate in itunes and any that say unknown are probably mute!) I stopped current batch and realised some of them have unchecked the audio check? but weren't originally set like that. I re-ticked the audio for all of them, restarted mkvtomp4 but AGAIN mkvtomp4 unticked them! so watch out!

2)Some of them are about 1k in size (when it runs out of disk space it keeps writing empty m4v files!), sort by file size afterwards and delete any 1k ones, note the last one before it runs out of disk space will also be broken, but appear OK until you play the end!

3) Some of them have an aac2 + an ac3_6 YET the apple TV only plays the aac2 and doesn't even see the second track, though it is embedded in the file!. You can again detect this in itune by looking at the name column for the HD icon at the end of it, you should check any that DON'T have this. You seem to be able to fix these by reloading the m4v into mkvtomp4 and re-running through, which doesn;t create a new file but ammends in-situ, but I've not checked thoroughly to see if 100% OK

4) The c:\program files\mkvtomp4\temp folder may fill up with old files as they're not always deleted, and fill your c drive up, so keep an eye on that as well! The program crashes in qtcore4.dll every so often which will leave behind files.

So I've lost about 20 movies permanantly now! So I would advise anyone hoping to batch convert their files using this tool to proceed with extreme caution. I'm going to return to using xmedia-recode and may just use this tool for movies with subtitles, once I see if that is more reliable. xmedia-recode also handles aac6->aac2+ac3 so you can send dd to your amp from atv. I don't know amps that handle aac6 so don't see the point of it.

The default settings can be set in the setup.

john blox
1. Free space should be 3-4 times greater than the size of the film.
2. If an error occurred while converting the sound, the checkbox is removed from the track.

Sorry, I didn't really give much information did I

What I'd like to be able to do is when adding the meta data to movies, I'd like to only download and insert certain fields like name, date, age rating, and long description. At the moment I have to untick things like actors, producers, short description, etc.

Also some kind of watch folder that would automatically keep an eye out for new video files and convert them without any interaction.

It's not a huge issue but it's something I would find handy
I'm certainly not being picky though, it's a fantastic app

[Shirtfull]

Thanks for your efforts. Just what I needed.

Used this to encode subs onto family vid to help younger generations identify older/deceased members of family, played on new iPad OK.

Can the subtitle size be altered from 18?

On the Apple devices can not change the size of the subtitle.

[TomTarolo]

Dear Oreons,

I'm using your tool to convert mkvs to m4v withing having to reencode. I'm viewing the m4v on my Apple TV3.
I find it a very good tool knowing that you can add subtitles.

But when trying to add dutch srt subtitles don't show in Apple TV3. iTunes doesn't recognise the language of the subtitles.

Here is the issue. The language codes apple TV accept for dutch is nl.
This works fine:
mp4box -add Tron.Legacy.srt:hdlr=sbtl:lang=nl Tron.Legacy.2010.Br.720p.YIFY.mp4



Some more info:

-lang [trackID=]lang : sets the language of the given track or of all tracks if trackID is not specified.
The language can be either ISO 639-1 2-char code, ISO 639-2 3-char code, or the full language name.
To get the listing of supported languages, use MP4Box -languages
