MKVcleaver : GUI for mkvextract with batch support v 0.7.0.2

[Taurus]

Try to copy all files from the MKVtoolnix folder to the MKVcleaver directory and change the path again.
Maybe a permission thingie on Win7....
Working here: MKVcleaver 0.5.0.4 and MKVtoolnix 5.5.0 ("Healer")
WinXP 32bit.

Found the cause of my problem: the x64 version of mkvcleaver is not working with mkvtoolnix located, whereas the x32 does.

Please post the error here. I also would need a sample file (see my signature for upload URL). Use my email address (can be found in MKVCleaver or on http://apps.einsof-haras.ca) to upload a sample.

I have been using MKVcleaver 0.5.0.1 (64) "Portable" successfully ... till I deleted some of my Old versions of Portable MKVToolnix and kept only MKVToolnix 0.5.6 and 0.5.7 portable.

SO, I just tried to extract the Subtitles from MKV to clean them up ... and it asked me to locate the "MKVExtract.exe" ... so I pointed it to 5.2.1, 5.3.0, 5.4.0, 5.6.0, 5.7.0 and I keep getting an Erorr saying ...

"Line 2781 : Error array variable subscript badly formatted".

Q1: What in the world is wrong? How to fix?

Q2: Why is the Portable Version of MKVcleaver is No Longer available?

Thanks!

Why not use v5.0.4 ? Get v5.0.3 portable 32 bit, run it once then download v5.0.4 32 bit and replace the files with the patched version.

If you're on vista or WIN7, please make sure to run MKVcleaver portable from a location where you have read/write access or with UAC disabled.

Hi Sheck,

Thank You for replying to my post.

1) I don't understand why a "Portable" option is not in a Zip folder Expand and there it is?

2) When you say run it once ... so, you mean INSTALL it on my Hard Drive as a Regular Program? Why is this program requiring that.

BTW, the Old version that I like and used to use before my current problem ... in VirusTotal created 2 Nasty Alerts ... might have been False Positives ...

Appreciate the Help again!

Hi gonwk,

1) I like it this way
2) Not really install. Once you run it, it will extract all necessary files in the same directory, like a self-extracting zip archive.

Other users reported the same issue on VirusTotal. Some anti-viruses detect my files as viruses, because they were compiled with AutoIt and AutoIt, unfortunately, is being used to program viruses so the anti-virus makers decided it was just easier to brand all AutoIt compiled files as viruses.

I can guarantee you that none of my files have any viruses in them. Just make sure you check the MD5 if you downloaded it from somewhere other than my site, videohelp site or google code.

What a time saver this program has been. Thank you!

Is there anyway to add a feature to remove dialogue normalization on ac3 files?

So far, the only way to do that is in eac3to, but doing that to a great deal of files does become very time consuming.

TIA!

Hmmm... Perhaps I will add an option to pass custom commands to MKVCleaver. I will have to look into how much work it will require. And the tool you're using would have to accept command line parameters. I'm not sure if Eac3to can.

Great Program, thanks a lot

And a problem I have with it:
It never saves the settings and the location of MKVToolNix, so each time I run it I have to do those again. Could someone help me fix it.
I'm using MKVToolnix 5.7.0 and MKVcleaver 5.0.3
I've put MKVcleaver files in the MKVToolNix folder.

Thanks

I think it saves its settings to a file in the same folder as the executable. Programs run with user rights cannot write into the program files folder by default. You could either run it with admin rights once and set the settings or move mkvcleaver to a folder with user writing rights.

[sheck]

Or, allow Users group modify permissions on the folder where MKVCleaver is installed.

Great, worked just fine
Thanks

I don't know how to do that. I googled to learn the process but no matter what I change, it's still the same.
If it's ok, could you tell me what to do, step by step.
Thanks

[sheck]

Right click on the folder where MKVCleaver is installed and select properties then click on Security tab and click Edit button, find Users on the list and click the checkbox Full Control under Allow column, click OK.

It would be nice to have MKVCleaver add "leading" zeros to tracks < 10, like

my_ripped_movie_t01_Track05_PGS.sup

rather than

my_ripped_movie_t01_Track5_PGS.sup

Thx.

[sheck]

How would it benefit users ?

[Chetwood]

By not getting confused when compairing extracted streams to the movie to single out forced subs. I had a movie with 14 sub tracks which were out of order in the file browser cause the leading zeroes where missing for tracks < 10. Honestly, I actually thought having those was standard like forever. When I rip a CD with Exact Audio Copy, the first track is number 01 instead of 1 too.

[sheck]

Alright. I don't think it will be hard to implement so I will.
