So, when you click about button in MKVcleaver, what do you get ?

The about box still displays correctly, as some of the IE controls responsible for GUI rendering are still left installed for compatibility reasons, but the links don't work as there is no IE executable to launch.

I see. OK, I will work to fix this. Thanks for letting me know.

Because .NET is a ton of bloatware overhead and Autoit has about 10 bytes over overhead?

Using IE won't kill anybody...

It might

I just started using your program so i'm not quite sure when you need IE, but if its just to open a web link, you can just run a command line argument "start http://www.cnn.com" for instance. It will launch the system default browser.

Anyways, the EI portion is just for when you open About box. The links in there open with IE by default. I will have to change that since, as it was pointed out earlier, in Windows 7 it is possible to get rid of IE completely. The GUI itself does not use IE or any element of it.

Well its nice and comforting to know nothing went wrong. Look at the mmg when its finished. It says "Everything went fine"

sheck · 25th February 2010, 06:44

Well, I can't compare MMG to MKVcleaver in that aspect. There is a lot that can go wrong in MMG, that's why they have that message. However, with MKVcleaver it either extracted ok or not ok, that's it. Since mkvextract has only 3 exit codes.

I suppose, users would like to know if all the files extracted fine. I will look at implementing checking for errors from mkvextract. Maybe even add "Finished" message, if it's not too hard, 'cause I'm lazy.

@sheck

Forgive me if I've overlooked something in the posts to this thread but, in addition to extracting streams, does MKVCleaver have the ability to actually delete the original versions of those same streams from the original source material (after, of course, extracted copies have been saved)?

sheck · 27th February 2010, 03:51

I didn't fully understand what you're asking. Could you explain a bit more ?

setarip_old · 3rd March 2010, 19:31

For example, I have "Title1.MKV", comprised of "VideoA.avc", "AudioA.ac3", and "SubtitleA.pgs", "SubtitleB.pgs", "SubtitleC.pgs", :

1) I load "Title1.MKV" into MKVCleaver
2) I expand the tree in the left window and select "SubtitleA.pgs" to be extracted - and MKVCleaver extracts and saves "SubtitleA.sup"

After steps 1 and 2, can MKVCleaver DELETE "SubtitleA.pgs" from my original "Title1.MKV" - so that it would be comprised of only "VideoA.avc", "AudioA.ac3", and "SubtitleB.pgs", "SubtitleC.pgs" (NO "SubtitleA.pgs")?

@setarip_old i think this can be done only by remuxing...

No, it's not possible. You would have to extract all tracks (or just open MKV with MMG) and then create a new MKV file with MMG with one less subtitle track. That's the only way.

@b66pak, @sheck

Thank you both ;>}

Can you add option, something like "keep original names for Attachments"?

The only way that I could do is to extract attachments to another folder.

Example: If you have mkvfile.mkv and you want to extract it folder A then MKVcleaver would create another folder in folder A - so something like C:\A\mkvfile\attachment1. If that's ok, I could add it to the next release.

Everybody else, I would appreciate your opinions on this as well.

sheck · 11th March 2010, 02:35

Ron, download STD_test.exe again. See if you get anything this time. This is my last attempt, otherwise I don't know what else could be done.

Ron, I think you should re-install Windows, if possible. I cannot spend any more time on this. Sorry.
