From haalimatrosksa at bluestraw.net Sun Apr 6 11:54:02 2008 From: haalimatrosksa at bluestraw.net (Bluestraw) Date: Sun, 6 Apr 2008 09:54:02 +0000 (UTC) Subject: [Matroska-devel] LPCM in M2TS issue Message-ID: Unfortunately the 'fix' for LPCM channel mapping in M2TS seems to have caused a major bug - any playback of such LPCM causes some massive static to come from the rear left channel. It is actually loud enough to blow a speaker (maybe damage hearing) if the volume is at any normal level, so I would suggest to post a warning on the download page if possible. I am not sure if th channel mapping fix itself works, as I could not listen to the playback for long enough to test it due to the massive noise coming from that speaker. This was tested on 2 separate m2ts files, and also I heard reports on Doom9 from other people with same result. I am happy to supply a sample part of an m2ts file for testing if this would help.

I had two lpcm streams that did not transcode correctly with the previous version and did with the current version. I don't listen to lpcm directly, I always transcode to ac3 and dts due to my audio limitation, which in this case sounds like may have saved my speakers.

Just a note to know if anyone has had time to add this to the list yet, and, while there, a suggested wording for the format of the private data, which is very similar to that of Vorbis and Theora: As for Theora and Vorbis, Kate headers are stored in the private data as xiph-laced packets: Byte 0: number of packets present, minus 1 (there must be at least one packet) - let this number be NP Bytes 1..n: lengths of the first NP packets, coded in xiph style lacing Bytes n+1..end: the data packets themselves concatenated one after the other Note that the length of the last packet isn't encoded, it is deduced from the sizes of the other packets and the total size of the private data. This mapping is similar to the Vorbis and Theora mappings, with the caveat that one should not expect a set number of headers.

We need some Hotkeys in Haali Media Splitter for multiple Audio and Subtitle Streams. 3 Hotkeys are Needed: Turn On / Off Subtitle Language Change Subtitle Language Change Audio Language Why do we need them? Because in allot of media applications we watch our media files fullscreen allot of us do it from our Lounge Chairs using Remotes and the current system doesn't work here which is that small popup list in the system tray. For us in order to currently change these streams we have to pause our video's then take the application out of fullscreen then mouse over the system trey and click the different track. With the hotkeys we can just quickly press a couple of buttons and cycle between the subs and audio and be done for within a couple of seconds instead of spending allot longer having to minimize or go out of full screen just so we can mouse click something on the desktop. For multiple Anime/TV episode marathons or 2/3 part Movies this means we are basically inducing unneeded breaks into the viewing experience. And allot (Nearly every MKV) of Anime Series I have found have found that you need to change Every Episodes Subtitle/Audio from the default English to Japaneese with English Subs on play which becomes 26 times per series (I personally watch 6 ep marathons and this is 6 times I need to do this) So for me having to drop back to windows 6 times in a night one every 1/2 hour is makes changing the subs and audio like hard work and I would rather watch, collect and recommend to people to use only XVIDs that are only in Japanese Audio English subs instead. If Haali Media Splitter had these hotkeys it would make MKV lovers that like the multiple streams happy and allot would use it as It would make it soo easy and quick to change streams without ruining the visual experience and its probably not that hard to code either for a feature that will make thousands of people happy. Please consider this request because it is extremely needed and will make allot of peoples viewing pleasure complete.
