Later I did assign fin (Finnish) as the Language in the combo box of the GUI and this time there was no bug : Finnish showed up in the selection menu of MPC-HC. Problem is, there is no way to get English displayed ... When I mux in an English subtitle ... I upgraded recently MKVtoolnix, so I only know that with the version from last year it was working fine.

There is no way to report a bug on their website, they only ask us to post here : "Bug reports and feature requests Please send feedback to our development mailing list at lists.matroska.org" However they seem to pay little attention to this mailing list. I have appended the original e-mail at the bottom of this one. I will only describe the bug here again in some simple words : As we all know here the Matroska container format is supposed to allow us to mux in 1 MKV file for one Video, more than one Audio and more than one Subtitle. The trouble is that as I reported earlier, the Haali Media Splitter from at least the version of 27/03/2010 on to the latest is only able to show [in MPC-HC selection menu] the first Audio and the first Subtitle ... There is no way to access any other Audio and/or Subtitle [Period]. Then, where is the benefit of using an MKV format with this kind of buggy splitter ? The multi-track feature has been lost. When MPC-HC released their version 1.3 last year, they bundled with their installer version the buggy release of Haali Media Splitter available at that time. Hopefully, the zip file version did not contain the splitter. And I was able to use the latest working version of the Haali Media Splitter I know : the version 1.9.42.1 (packed with the installer of CoreAVC Codec 1.9.5) [date unknown]. Their website haali.su/mkv/ does not provide numbered version of their release ... but only dates. Older versions that the latest current one are not available either ... Regards, PM _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ e-mail dated January, 6th, 2010 --------------------------------------------- I happen to use in the videos I watch a lot of different subtitles (each in one given language), which I mux with the video / audio stream with MKV Merge GUI from Moritz Bunkus. I am using a PC with Vista x64 US English. The software I use to watch this video files (with a Matroska container) is MPC Home Cinema x64 on the x64 PC and x86 on the other. I installed as well CoreAVC Video Codec which offered until the version 1.9.5 to install the Haali media Splitter. In this case the version of the splitter is 1.9.42.1. (I don't know the date of this release). Using any version of MPC Home Cinema with this version of the Haali Media Splitter worked well until I stumbled last November on a bug which prevented access [Menu Play --> Subtitles of MPC] to all subtitles except the first one appearing in the list of MKV Merge GUI i.e. Menu --> Subtitles list only the first one. I discovered at that time that this occurred only after installing MPC-HC v1.3.1249 with the installer .exe available for this release [I used it to update my previously [and working] installed version v1.2.908 on my second computer XP/Vista dual boot]. On another computer [Vista x64] I installed myself the executable in the Program Files folder to perform the update and everything went fine. I didn't see the previously mentioned bug appearing. I didn't have immediately an answer for this kind of behaviour. I initialy thought that something went wrong in the muxing proces with MKV Merge GUI. It was not. Recently, in early April I installed a newer version of the splitter found at http://haali.su/mkv . It was the version identified as of date 27/03/2010. Following this, the computer running Vista x64 did show the same bug as the other computer : No access to the list of subtitles but the first one of the list. I uninstalled the Haali Media Splitter and re-installed the version 1.9.42.1 (packed with the installer of CoreAVC Codec 1.9.5) and things were back to normal. I could again see all the subtitles. Although if you just re-install the working version 1.9.42.1 without un-installing any bugged version it will not work either. You need to properly un-install a bugged version with its own un-installer, and later install the 1.9.42.1. I tested the newly released version of the splitter dated 20/05/2010 yesterday and it carries the same bug as well. Can anyone confirm this behaviour of the Haaili Media Splitter ? And can anyone involved in the splitter development have a look at this ? I uploaded in early May a 100 MB chunk of the movie Mean.Girls.2004.1080p.BluRay.x264-CiNEFiLE.mkv containing 5 subtitles : English from other languages, English, French, Spanish et Portuguese. Mean.Girls.2004.1080p.BluRay.x264-CiNEFiLE_newsub-001.mkv http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?odt0wnjwtvo Another annoying thing in Windows is that below the Play, Pause & Stop Button, instead of having the Matroska icon from the Haali splitter, I have a music icon from Windows Media Player DLL (from file %system%System32\wmploc.dll). It may come from a mess in windows registry but it's quite annoying. Re-installing the splitter didn't solve this problem. Is there a way to get around this ? and display the Matroska icon from the splitter ? Tank you for your feedback. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am asking for a request concerning the MP4 Splitter rather than the Matroska splitter. First of all however: Haali Media Splitter and Matroska are great works! They work VERY well, and I really like using them both for my personal video library and for videos downloaded from the net! For Haali the MP4 splitter is nearly perfect, however it seems to not decode multiple audio formats used in the MOV/Quicktime format. Are there plans for example so that it can correctly forward {34616D69-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} (IMA ADPCM - can be decoded for example with ffdShow) which Gabest's MP4 Splitter or Nero's can?

Thanks for the great app! I work at a Google backed start-up called OpenCandy that might be interesting to you. We help software developers make money by recommending software they believe is valuable for their users. We started this company 2 years ago and were some of the original founders from DivX. We build relationships with software companies that want their software distributed. We also build relationships with software developers (like yourself) who want to recommend software to their users and make some money by doing so. We believe that for this to work and be a sustainable business, it must be user and software developer focused. The recommendation takes place during your software's installer, and is dynamically served from our server so nothing is bundled. And it's opt-in, so only the users that wish to accept the recommendation get the software. All the recommended software is reviewed for quality; absolutely no spyware or malware is approved or recommended. Bing, StumbleUpon, WinSCP, Winamp, Kaspersky and TuneUp Media (an iTunes plug-in that finds album art/ID3 tags) are just few of the developers that are already working with us. I think OpenCandy might be a good fit for you. Let me know if you're interested in hearing more.

Also it reads and writes the diverse Tags. It is centered specifically in the audio information. Now I am working with Matroska. As for audio information, specifications in CodecSpecs are quite clear in some cases (MPEG, Vorbis, MS/ACM, Flac, WavPack, etc) But in another cases it is not so well explained, although I have been able to write code: AAC-MP4: there it says that it is stripped from ADTS header. Really, in both cases of 2 or 5 bytes size it follows the specifications ISO-IEC 14496-1 Systems (AudioSpecificConfig). Another thing is that the first 2 bytes are common for ADTS and other formats. Real Audio: there is not information. Here, CodecPrivate follows the specifications of "MDPR" Media Properties -> Specific Data (audio/x-pn-realaudio or audio/x-pn-multirate-realaudio). Although in this case is contemplated the possibility of including "REAL/RALF" (Real Lossles), the specifications are possibly different: "audio/x-ralf-mpeg4-generic." But I have not been able to get the sample to study it with any program that encodes Matroska that I have been able to find. Maybe it would be interesting for other people to add this information in CodecSpecs Now the problems: AC3: I have not been able to find in Block or CodecPrivate the mentioned Byte with fscod and frmsizecod data. QuickTime: In spite of their resemblance with AAC-MP4, I have not found the applied format to CodecPrivate data and CodecSpecs don't says anything about this. Can somebody inform me about these 2 problems? Now the suggestions: I miss the data of Bitrate and AudioSize. Apart of case when the codec specifies it (MPEG, MS/ACM) there is not bitrate information in any place. AudioSize can be easily calculated from bitrate. Also to the reverse, but then it would be necessary parsing all blocks. I know that it is not outstanding to decode the file but it is important for the information. There is not a place to write this information In the future? This can fill one byte or less inside of the big space filled for container Matroska In a next message I will speak of my experience in Matroska Taging. Regards.
