Subject: [Matroska-general] mkvtoolnix 1.0 release plan
Message-ID: <20040804202219.GB9421@bunkus.org>
Heya,
no, 1.0 has not been released yet ;)
Some of you have probably wondered what will happen with mkvtoolnix
after 0.9.9. Will there be 0.9.9.1, or 0.10.1 or what? No. After 0.9.9
I'll release 1.0. Maybe even before that.
So what are my plans for 1.0? Is it 'just another release'? Certainly
not. Back when I started mkvtoolnix in January 2003 I had some goals
for a 1.0 release. Those goals were few, but some of them were (too?)
ambitious. Amongst them were support for the 'usual' container formats
like reading AVI and Ogg/OGM, for some raw audio formats like MP3, AC3
and AAC and at least some text subtitle formats like SRT. Also I wanted
to support splitting and concatenation.
Some of those goals I've met very quickly (AVI, MP3 and AC3 support -
I've basically copied them from my old ogmtools), and some I haven't
implemented by now (concatenation). Some are very mature (e.g. OGM / MP3
handling), and some are rudimentary (splitting). But in many, many ways
I've surpassed my expections by far. Some examples for features that
weren't even on my _radar_ when I started mkvtoolnix were VobSubs,
RealMedia reading/writing, support for reading chapters/tags in XML
format, having a GUI for my tools and especially _running mkvtoolnix on
Windows_. As a matter of fact I'm pretty proud of what I've achieved,
and the amount of feedback I get tells me that I've done more or less OK
;)
Earlier I've said that concatenation was part of my 'things to do before
I release 1.0'. What about it now? Well, there's AVIMux GUI which can
concatenate files, and at the moment I simply lack the time to implement
it properly. It will definitely come. That's a promise. But not before
the 1.0 release.
For 1.0 I have another feature that I've been working on together with
help from Goldenear and Toff: sample precision for timestamps and
durations. This is especially useful for audio files. Goldenear is a big
fan of making a CD rip and storing everything from the CUE sheet
information and the actual contents (compressed losslessly, of course)
to CD covers in one Matroska audio file. And everything is supposed to
be reversible! So we needed sample precision for timestamps.
I've implemented that. And this is my 'final' feature enhancement before
the 1.0 release. The next release will be 0.9.5. It will feature the
final implementation of the automatic 'CUE sheet to chapters/tags and
back' conversions and it will feature sample precise timestamps and
durations.
After 0.9.5 there will be a feature freeze, and I'll use the releases
0.9.6-0.9.9 for bug fixes only. The goal is to have a mkvtoolnix 1.0
package that is as bug free as I can make it. After the 1.0 release the
1.0 line will stay a 'stable' release if you want to call it that - only
bug fixes will be included in 1.0.x and 1.1.x. The next release with new
features will be 1.2. It might brake more often :) Well, by now you
should know how good or bad I code ;).
Before I release 0.9.5 we have to make sure that some other apps are
fixed because mkvtoolnix now uses 64bit floats in Matroska files, and at
least two authors have only implemented 32bit floats in their
applications. mkvtoolnix does not violate the Matroska specs in any
way. 64bit floats is just a feature those two persons haven't
implemented yet - probably because until now no application was using
those.
Anyway. My plan is to release 0.9.5 sometime next week. After that I'll
see how the bug reports roll in about the sample precise timestamps and
the other stuff. There will probably be a 0.9.6 release, maybe even
0.9.7, but I guess that 0.9.8 and 0.9.9 won't happen - and 1.0 will be
released in about a month.
Now you know. 1.0 will be something special :) At least for me it
is. During the last 1 1/2 years I've spent tons of time on this project
and everything around it. Obviously it's very important to me. And I
wouldn't have come this far if there hadn't been you guys & gals. Each
feature request, each bug report, each 'thank you' shows me that my
work is not in vain. It keeps me working to improve things. If it were
an application just for me I would have stopped long ago.
I hope you agree with my plans for 1.0. If you have some valid
objections ('you have to fix this bug I haven't reported' or 'this
feature is an absolute MUST HAVE') don't hesitate to speak up :)
Thanks..

Subject: [Matroska-general] libmatroska 0.7.2 released
Message-ID: <20040806075136.GA3064@bunkus.org>
Heya,
here's a new version of libmatroska: 0.7.2. There were two changes:
1) The KaxSegmentDuration element is written as a 64bit float ( =
double). This allows the segment duration to be sample precise as
well.
2) There are some new elements: An UID for the editions, targets for it
for the tags and a new 'hidden' flag for editions.

Subject: [Matroska-general] Tags to change
Message-ID: <41135706.5070106@free.fr>
Hi,
As you know, Matroska has defined various tags. These tags let you put
meta information about the content of a Matroska file (audio or video)
or some parts of it (using chapters).
The basic idea is to be able to transmux from all known/common
containers to Matroska without losing any information and being
officially supported.
Supporting official tags mean that such an application would be able to
read/write at least the defined tags. But more important is that for a
specific content (artist or title), it should use the defined element
and not a custom one. That means such tags could be read by other
"compliant" application.
In the other hand Matroska allows and will still allow anyone to put
custom tags (exotic tags) if they wish to (probably not in basic
applications).
Right now the tag definition is in a messy state and we plan to clean
it, maybe changing some names and improving definitions. We are going to
it from now. And anyone you know who would like to help to improve the
list, the compatibility with other tag systems or the definitions is
welcome.
There is no definite date to freeze the tags spec (additions will always
be possible but not changing existing tags). We'll freeze it, when it's
ready...

Subject: [Matroska-general] Minutes of the IRC meeting about the new
matroska packs - 9th august 2004
Message-ID: <41178CAF.80107@matroska.org>
Hi,
here a short comprehension of what was decided today on IRC about the
installer packs :
*1. We will shortly release the new packs, ver. 1.0.3, with the
following changes :*
a. Toff's fixed matroskasplitter filter ( 1.0.2.4 ? ) based on the well
know Gabest splitter, with
- TTA support
- 64 bit timestamp handling
- partial rendering bug fixed
b. TTA decoder filter ( also from Toff )
c. the latest stable ffdshow build, 2004-07-25, *including* FFvfw (
:sigh: )
d. a modified vsfilter, capable to connect to Haali's new matroska
parser filter, for the upcoming test phase ( see below ), also compiled
by Toff
All other filters and apps, i.e.
- matroskaprop 2.6
- matroskamuxer 1.0.0.8
- mmswitch ( matroska edition ) 0.99
- ac3filter 0.70 b
- CoreAAC 1.0 b9
- CoreVorbis 1.0 b6
- CoreFLAC 0.3 beta4
- matrix mixer 0.30 b
- Realmedia splitter 1.0.0.9
remain unchanged, unless Toff will find new versions of them which are
proven to be stable and reliable. The packs will be distributed from
Haali's server ( in Russia ), to avoid any problems with the included
MPEG4 encoder.
*2.* Soon after the new packs are released *we will start a test phase
of the new splitter filter from Haali* , only on user forums with a high
technical level, i.e. Hydrogenaudio.org, Doom9, Corecodec.com . The
switch from Gabests filter to Haali's filter makes sense because our old
friend Gabest seems to finally have settled for wife and kids, and cant
invest so much time into his great Guliverkli project any longer. The
whole team wants to express their biggest thanks to him, as without his
incredible work its possible that matroska wouldnt exist anymore, at
least not the way it is today :-) !
The goal is to make the next packs, numbered 1.1.0, based on Haali's
splitter. His splitter is using a new parser library written in C, and
its also the basis for a the matroska parser in the first *PocketPC*
player to support matroska, picard's *Betaplayer* (
http://corecodec.org/projects/betaplayer ).
Maybe this library can become the basis for a kind of 'standard' C
parser lib, to be used for
- gstreamer plugin
- FFMPEG/libavcodec
- mplayer
- Xine
The single testing of the filter will lead to a test of the 1.1.0 pack
alpha version with the same group of people, to find out about the
compatibility of the new splitter with all other filters, before pack
1.10 will be release ( likely by the end of the year )
*3. Toff will write to Milan Cutka,* the main developer behind ffdshow,
and ask him about the chance to make slight changes to ffdshow, so that
a special build without MPEG4 encoder can be done for us, maybe for the
1.1.0 pack already, in very best case even for the 1.0.3 packs ( unlikely ).
*4. We need a volunteer for the new packs*, to modify the existing NSIS
installer, if *Nibor* doesnt have the time to do it next week, as we
need to ship these packs urgently and ASAP, to avoid delays for
mkvtoolnix 0.9.5 with 64 bit precision !!
*5.* I will go through all of the text and the Disclaimer of the packs,
to make sure there are no typos/bugs or missing links in there. We will
also try to include a dedicated warning for *playback problems of MKV
files with RV9* content, as well as a Guide on how to play them (
biggest problem currently ) and how to install Realpalyer 'safely'.
Maybe even something very dominant, like a popup window they have to
click away on installation, with a big 'WARNING !!' in the title, is to
be considered, as this is obviously the biggest annoyance with MKV
compatibility right now, leading to a bad user reputation for the project.
Comments welcome, as always

Hi,
> - 64 bit timestamp handling
I'm just trying to be precise here. The bug (or missing feature support)
is that Gabest's software only handles 32bit floating point numbers but
not 64bit floating numbers. The only place where mkvmerge uses a 64bit
floating point number is the segment duration. All other timestamps/
durations are already integers.
Nevertheless: This bug seems to prevent seeking from working, and the
total duration is not shown.
> c. the latest stable ffdshow build, 2004-07-25, *including* FFvfw (

I voted for 'yes' here because I don't see a chance that we'll get a
no-encoders-ffdshow that's at least semi-official anytime soon.

I agree with this. Steve: just to make sure that you understand the
objections I had on IRC. I don't want the _release dates_ of both the
'stable' and the 'alpha' packs to be coupled. Both should have their own
timeframe, and if they happen to be identical for some obscure reason
then that's fine. But delaying the 'stable' release for the 'alpha'
release is IMHO not good.
> Maybe this library can become the basis for a kind of 'standard' C

I doubt it. All of these already use the very same code base (Ronald
Bultje's code. He has written the gstreamer plugin himself, same for the
libavformat ( = FFMPEG) module with some minor help from me. The one in
mplayer was written by Aurelien Jacobs, but it is based heavily on the
gstreamer's code ( = c&p for most parts, especially the low-level EBML
handling and stuff like that)).
> - Xine
Xine and vlc are both still based upon libmatroska. The only advantage
for them to dump those demuxers and use a new one based on Haali's lib
would be if Haali's code is so small that it can be included in the
projects themselves (comparison: the Matroska demuxer in mplayer
consists of two C files, one for the low level EBML reading, one for the
Matroska element handling and the interface to mplayer + one header file
for common definitions).

Unlikely but it would be very welcome. On the other hand a lot of people
might be angry if they've installed ffdshow separately and the Matroska
pack overwrites that one with a stripped-down version. But I guess that
the installer can be enhanced to only install ffdshow if it isn't
installed already, right? Or at least ask the user?

There are actually two obstacles for the 0.9.5 release. The first is the
fixed demuxer, true, but the second is the 'finalization' of the tag
mess around 'single or multiple CDs in MKA'. And as far as I know Steve
& Goldenear are still figuring that out.

Very good.

I didn't say anything different. They both have different goals.

That's cool if all the C applications use the same library :)

His splitter is using a new parser library written in C,
I'm afraid I don't follow the reasoning here. Why do you want to create a new
splitter? I understand that Gabest (rest his soul) can no longer maintain his
Matroska splitter, but Toff seems to be doing a good job with modifications to
it. Not that I care, but it does seem like a lot of extra work. If anything, I
would think that you would want to make a new filter based on libmatroska. Not
that I care, but it does seem like a lot of extra work.

There is one. It's called libmatroska but is a PITA to deal with...
Haali seems to have made a very simple design with his filter which
should make it easier to maintain.
The pb of Gabest is that we don't have access to his CVS and so our
_official_ splitter will never be the _official_ one from Gabest. That's
a tricky situation. We could take the sources and put it in our SVN, but
it depends on Gabest's baseclasses so we should import the whole
guiverkli project to do so :(

As some of you have seen, the website is still being cleaned and we're
almost done (at least from the navigation and design point of view, the
content is not always up to date). We also have automatic handling of
language pages when available (thanks to the Apache negotiation module).
And sometimes you can link on some flags to see another language of yours.
I think we are really missing some pages in japanese here ! Japan is the
second country for visits on Matroska websites after France/USA. So at
least the homepage should be translated, as it's the only page that
exists in all languages we support... Does anyone know someone who could
translate this page for us ? And maybe take some time once in a while to
translate other pages too ?

here's a new release of mkvtoolnix after almost a month. This release
features a couple of new features like sample precision for timestamps
and durations and support for a couple new Matroska elements.
This release is also a feature freeze. The following releases will only
contain bug fixes. The goal is to have a release 1.0 soon which will
hopefully contain as few bugs as possible. So don't hesitate to report
any outstanding bugs :)
A note to all Windows users: Files created with this new version require
a new version of Gabest's Matroska splitter - at least 1.0.2.4 available
from http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli
Alternatively you can use Haali's new splitter. Read about it on this
thread on doom9.org:

Here's the ChangeLog since 0.9.4:
--------------------------------------------
2004-08-21 Moritz Bunkus
* Released v0.9.5.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: WAV files which contained a 'PAD ' chunk
before the 'data' chunk were not processed at all.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Use 'setjmp' and 'longjmp' Instead of
throwing a C++ exception during the chapter parsing
stage. Otherwise libexpat will abort with a non-descriptive error
message on Windows.
2004-08-20 Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge: bug fix: SSA/ASS subs with the old codec ID 'S_SSA'
and 'S_ASS' were accepted, but their codec ID was kept. It is now
correctly changed to 'S_TEXT/SSA' and 'S_TEXT/ASS'.
2004-08-19 Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge, mkvinfo, mkvextract: new feature: Added support for
the new 'EditionFlagHidden', 'EditionFlagDefault' and
'EditionManaged' elements.
* mkvmerge: Added 'EditionUID' to valid elements below ''
in XML tags. Fixed the creation of the 'Targets' with
--global-tags and --tags.
2004-08-16 Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge, mkvinfo, mkvextract: Added support for the new tag
elements ('tag language' and 'default/original language').
* mkvmerge: new feature: If there was no MIME type given for an
attachment then mkvmerge will try to guess it based on the file's
extension just like mmg.
2004-08-14 Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge, mkvextract, mmg: Changes to the chapter
handling. EditionUIDs are always created. mkvextract outputs
EditionUIDs and ChapterUIDs normally. mkvmerge tries to keep
EditionUIDs and ChapterUIDs but replaces them if they aren't
unique.
2004-08-13 Moritz Bunkus
* mmg: bug fix: The 'down' button on the 'input' tab was not
working correctly in all cases.
2004-08-06 Moritz Bunkus
* mkvinfo, mmg: bug fix: Fixed compilation with Unicode enabled
versions of wxWidgets.
2004-08-05 Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Try to guess whether tags read from OGM
files (for automatic language tag setting and for copying chapter
information) are already in UTF-8 or not. If not try to convert
them from the current system's charset.
2004-08-04 Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge: bug fix: use the same UID for the EditionUID in the
chapters and in the tag targets when parsing a CUE sheet.
2004-08-02 Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge/mkvextract: new feature: Use the new EditionUID entries
when convert CUE sheets to chapters and tracks. This is in
preparation for 'multiple CDs to single Matroska file'
conversions.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Abort muxing if the output file name is
the same as the name of one of the input files.
2004-08-01 Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge: new feature: Implemented sample-precision for
timestamps and durations on audio only files.
* mkvextract: bug fix: The CUE extraction wrote UTF-8 characters
but no UTF-8 BOM (byte order marker) at the beginning.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Handle TTA files with ID3 tags correctly ( =
skip the ID3 tags).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: There was an illegal free() in the OGM
reader.
2004-07-27 Moritz Bunkus
* mkvextract: bug fix: The subtitle track extraction used the wrong
duration in 0.9.4.
2004-07-26 Moritz Bunkus
* mkvextract: new feature: Limited support for extracting chapters
as CUE sheets that haven't been created by using a CUE sheet with
mkvmerge's "--chapters" option.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Block durations with 0s length (e.g. entries
in a SSA file) were not written.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The FLAC packetizer gets the duration
from the FLAC packet itself.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The word 'TAG' occuring in e.g. SRT subs
caused the ID3/MP3 frame detection to be stuck n an endless loop.

Have fun :)

If you don't have rundll32.exe on your Windows, then you can reinstall
Windows ! It's a key component of the system...
