Subject: [Matroska-devel] Files with extension mkv.001 onwards
Message-ID: <1325592166.95701.YahooMailNeo@web113610.mail.gq1.yahoo.com>

How can I join the files with extension mkv.001 onwards into one mkv file, so that, I can enjoy viewing the films on my laptop, LCD TV etc.,

Thanks,

Ashish

Not really a question for here (read up on msdos/batch or shellscript) but for
windows:

copy /b part*.* movie.mkv

I find you dont normally need to worry about the sequencing as the copy seems 
to get it right but you can
always use a batch file to make life easier anyway.
Only idiots split files like this - you may want to avoid the source in future.

Subject: [Matroska-devel] Would SimpleBlock and BlockGroup ever be mixed in
	one file?
Message-ID: <4F166CB5.807@gmail.com>

Hi,

Simple question -- would SimpleBlock and BlockGroup ever be mixed in a 
matroska file?

What I mean is -- should I have to worry about seeing SimpleBlock 
elements and BlockGroup elements in the same cluster, or segment 
(separate clusters), or file (separate segments)?
Are there any sample files like this that you may know of?
I am working on my re-muxer and it would help to know what I should be 
expecting for the input.

Thank you,
     Pavel

Hey,

A muxer is free to use both elements add it sees fit. Simple Block elements
and Block Group elements van be used in the same file, in the same cluster,
in the same track. Mkvmerge automatically users both. Therefore you should
be able to create such files yourself easily. Just mux both audio and video.

As a matter of fact muxers are encouraged to choose whatever element they
need. A Block Group is used if a frame needs explicit references, or if its
duration does not equal the track's default duration (look at subtitles for
such an example). Otherwise a Simple. Block is used for lower overhead.

kind regards,
Mo

Hi,
I have implemented matroska muxer and so there is no restriction on whether
to use simple block or blockgroup.It is completely on muxer to put frame as
simple block or as block group.
As said block group is used only when duration is not same as default
duration like i am using it mainly for subtitle stream where as in all
other cases i use simple block since it reduces overhead.
So it is most common to find any thing inside cluster.
If you want any such file for all your testing let me know.

Subject: [Matroska-devel] does any player support PixelCrop...?
Message-ID: <4F1F162C.9050705@gmail.com>

Hi,

I wonder if anyone knows of any matroska player that supports 
Track->Video->PixelCropLeft/Right/Top/Bottom attributes?

I have tried the latest VLC release, MPC from combined community codec 
2011-11-11, and my own player based on ffmpeg libs -- none of them 
showed the correct picture.

I tested using a file with 640x352 image resolution.  I modified the 
Track->Video attribute Left/Right pixel crop settings to be 85, so that 
the cropped image size would be 470x352.  I set DisplayWidth = 470, 
DisplayHeight = 352.  I was expecting to see a 4x3 picture with the 
cropped content (black pillars) removed, but that's not what happened.  
VLC and ffmpeg did scale the image to 470x352, but the decode frame was 
not cropped prior to scaling.

I verified with mkvinfo GUI that the Track->Video-> ... settings were 
set correctly.

I did not set AspectRatioType (left it at default value) because I don't 
quiet understand what it's for,
or whether it is relevant to PixelCrop... settings.

Did I screw up, or is it the players?

Thank you,
     Pavel.

Subject: [Matroska-devel] Conversion
Message-ID: <CAETe_hS5XZf5u1b8mk0jtC5+pCCjh98b8faRfwaNp74kxLvMHw@mail.gmail.com>

I noticed that the programs recommended to convert .mkv to DVD format were
all "For purchase" and there were no free programs listed.

I have personally used a Linux program called DeVeDee ( any Debian based
distro ) to Easily convert .mkv into an ISO that will burn a quality DVD.

Maybe you should add that to the list unless you have an agreement with the
others to list only their Pay programs.


Sincerely

Seems like it is a player issue. In the past VLC was handling it correctly.
