Subject: [Matroska-general] mkvtoolnix 0.9.0 released
Message-ID: <20040531224319.GO7737@bunkus.org>

Heya,

a steady stream of improvements. What's not mentioned in the ChangeLog
below is that I'm rewriting mmg's dialog layouts (switching from
pixel-based to sizers-based layouts), so they should look a bit better
than before. Not a functional change, though.

The links to...
the homepage:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/
the source:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/sources/mkvtoolnix-0.9.0.tar.bz2
the Windows binaries:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/win32/mkvtoolnix-0.9.0.rar

The binaries for RedHat/Fedora Core, SuSE 9.0 and Debian/sid can be
found on the homepage.

And here's the ChangeLog since 0.8.9:
------------------------------------------
2004-05-31  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* Released v0.9.0.

	* mkvmerge: bug fix: Improved handling for OGM files. Streams that
	are lacking the comment packet are handled better.

2004-05-29  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvmerge: bug fix: Some MP3 streams are padded in the front with
	trash (mostly those in AVI files). This trash might contain valid
	MP3 headers which do not match the remaining headers for the
	actual track. Both the MP3 reader and the MP3 packetizer can now
	skip up to one of those bogus headers in the trash.

2004-05-25  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mmg: bug fix: On some occasions the chapter editor thought there
	was no language associated with a chapter name and complained
	about that.

	* mmg: Removed the 'advanced' tab. Those options shouldn't be used
	anyway.

	* mkvmerge: bug fix: The OGM reader was not Endian safe.

2004-05-20  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvmerge: Rewrite of the VobSub handling code.

2004-05-17  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mmg: bug fix: The chapter editor did not honor the values
	selected for 'country' and 'language'.

2004-05-15  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvmerge: bug fix: Audio sync for Vorbis was partially broken
	for positive offsets.

2004-05-06  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mmg: Fix for compilation with wxWindows < 2.4.2.

------------------------------------------

Have fun.

Subject: [Matroska-general] mkvtoolnix 0.9.1 released
Message-ID: <20040613111647.GL7379@bunkus.org>

Heya users & maintainers,

the usual mail :) I've released a new version called 0.9.1 containing a
couple of fixes and a couple of enhancements. The usual mix, but I'd say
the focus is on the new features :)

The homepage:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/
The sources:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/sources/mkvtoolnix-0.9.1.tar.bz2
Windows binaries:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/win32/mkvtoolnix-0.9.1.rar
The binaries for Debian are up, the ones for Fedora Core and SuSE are
still being built and will be available via the homepage shortly.

Here's the ChangeLog since 0.9.0:
-------------------------------------
2004-06-13  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvmerge: Dropped supoprt for 'aviclasses' (one of the two
	libraries for accessing AVI files). This mostly affects the
	Windows users as I've used aviclasses and not avilib on Windows so
	far. The 0.9.0-pre-builds so far haven't shown any problems,
	though, so I hope this doesn't break anything.

	* mmg: bug fix: The job manager did not handle the conversion
	of non-ASCII characters correctly.

	* mmg: new feature: The action 'delete job' in the job manager
	will also delete the file in the 'jobs' subdirectory.

2004-06-12  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mmg: new feature: Added an option to make mmg stay always on
	top (only on Windows).

	* mkvmerge: new feature: mmg will set the 'display dimensions'
	automatically for AVI files whose video track is MPEG4 and has the
	pixel aspect ratio stored in the bitstream.

	* mkvmerge: bug fix: The improved MP3 garbage detection was broken
	resulting in an error message from mkvmerge in some weird
	situations.

2004-06-08  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvmerge: bug fix: Matroska tracks can use lacing (several
	frames inside one Matroska block with only one timecode for the
	whole block). mkvmerge did not recreate the timecodes for the
	frames 1..n in the lacing correctly.

2004-06-06  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvmerge: feature removed: Dropped support for 'time
	slices'. They were not used, didn't offer the player any
	additional value and caused massive increase in overhead.

	* mmg: new feature: Added a dialog for adding arbitrary command
	line options which includes a list of advanced options to chose
	from.

2004-06-04  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvmerge: bug fix: The OGM fix in 0.9.0 broke handling for
	non-broken OGM files a bit.

2004-06-03  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for the audio/video
	synchronization method used by NanDub (garbage at the beginning of
	audio tracks inside an AVI) for AC3 and MPEG audio tracks. In
	other words: If an AVI is read and an audio track contains garbage
	right at the beginning then the corresponding audio delay is
	calculated and used instead of simply discarding the garbage.

2004-06-01  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvmerge: new feature: Enabled reading MPEG4 video from MP4
	files (nope, they're not stored in Matroska's native mode yet).
-------------------------------------

Hi everyone,

After a long pause (even though work still continued) I think it's time 
to start working hard again on our Matroska baby.

We all have been away mostly for RL issues and it seems that it's not 
going to change soon. I personally think I will have more and more spare 
time to work on my projects, but you never know how life is going to 
be... And I really think there are lots of things to be done. A lot of 
things that I need in my everyday (multimedia) life and I assume it 
would be the same for many other people. Unfortunately I can't do all 
these things on my own in a limited time (and we all like to be the 
first in our area, don't we). So we need to get (better) organised to 
have things actually done, to keep things moving.

As we are not a company and can't/won't force anyone to work I think 
it's better to let everyone work on the things they prefer/need. I 
wouldn't like to be told what I should do/enjoy... So my idea is to put 
up a list of all the possible things that we should do and then people 
(devs or webmasters) can pick things they want to work on and start 
working on it. I think it's also good to put an estimation of the time 
each task will take and the complexity with a note between 1 and 5 for 
each, not actual times: 1 for easy/fast, 5 for complex/long. This way 
anyone can know if he/she will have enough time/knowledge to work on 
something.

The basis of this list will be there :

http://wiki.corecodec.org/wiki/TODO_list_-_Known_issues_-_Things_to_improve

I'm currently adding possible evolutions/ideas and where they should 
apply. Then we can add the time/complexity estimation.

Any idea / suggestion / agreement / disagreement ?

Hey!

Try another player. E.g. The Core Media Player or Media Player Classic. 
With one of these players you shouldn't have this problem and you can 
chosse there which audio-track (which language) the player should play.

I agree.

> Any idea / suggestion / agreement / disagreement ?

I'll rearrange my priorities a bit and push B frame / native MPEG4 to
the top (well below fixing bugs but above implementing other new
features). Same goes for TTA and Wavpack. I'll also look into adding the
latter two to mplayer - I definitely have to do that in order to have a
working test platform.

The complexity is... Well... B frames / native MPEG4 will be
interesting. Native MPEG4 involves removing some parts of the bitstream
(in AVI each MPEG4 is preprended with some bits (dunno what they do). In
MP4 this is not the case, and Matroska's native mode should not contain
this stuff either), and this seems to be easy enough. Getting the
players (I'll definitely fix mplayer and try to fix vlc & xine) do
accept that should be easy if they can already handle MPEG4 in MP4 which
all three do. B frames with proper timestamping is more difficult,
though, and I have no idea how long it'll take me.

Let's say I can get it all working by end of July.

The complexity for TTA/Wavpack is unknown to me so far because I haven't
looked at how much source and documentation is available for both
projects. I'll take a look at that this weekend.

About the 'editor'. This is of course the biggest project. But before I
start working one bit for it we'll have to be clear about the license to
use. Maybe you've already come to a conclusion, but I don't know of any
decisions. The thing is that I won't work on it if the editor will not
be Open Source. I don't want a crippled version and a full
version. That's not Open Source, and that's not something I want to work
for.

Maybe you should ask some Xvid people or FFMPEG people what are these 
bits, they probably know.

I see. Well, once it's done... It's done ;)

I had a look at TTA and it's *very* simple. All frames have the same 
duration (except the last one) and a very small header. Dunno about 
Wavpack but I guess it's something like that too.

Both are open source and working on Linux and working on libraries. So 
it should not be long to have MPLayer read these files too.

Nothing is defined yet. And this is actually a sensitive issue.
IMO if we start it from scratch we'll build something powerful out of 
nowhere and it will be long, will need a lot of input, etc.
If we build it over GStreamer it will be mostly a GUI over an engine. So 
it will take less time (even though GStreamer is probably not mature 
enough on all platforms and we'll spend some time imrpoving it) and less 
people. So I think we should go this way. And there would be no point in 
wanting to get money for such a thing. It could become the GIMP of video 
:D (hopefully nicer)

That's supposed to be Christian ;)

But we would need one that work for free. And that knows about free 
software... Maybe we are too ambitious and too few to achieve our goals. 
We know what we want. It's just not easy to get there. And none of us 
want to receive orders from any other team member. That's the idea 
behind the /pull/ thing.

thx for the comment.

Guys,

in the last couple of months i was trying again and again to motivate 
the team members to bring matroska forward. The only real progress was 
with mkvtoolnix, again. Then i tried to concentrate on MPC, i organized 
the PC for Frank, hoping he might get motivated again to work on it. It 
seems it was not really effective what i did, there wasnt a lot of 
progress lately.

Maybe the right time for me to lean back and bit, and to see if i am 
maybe pushing too hard, and the other team members are more demotivated 
than motivated by all my pushing. Steve's email is a kind of proof for 
that already, if you want to see it like that ;) .....

Christian

After Gnome it seems GStreamer will also be part of KDE.

Subject: [Matroska-general] mkvtoolnix v0.9.2 released
Message-ID: <20040629215147.GJ19240@bunkus.org>

Heya,

release time! 0.9.2 is out, and it contains a couple of minor bug fixes
and a couple of enhancements for mmg. One big change (--track-order
working globally), and mmg's guid has been updated.

The homepage:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/
The source:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/sources/mkvtoolnix-0.9.2.tar.bz2
Windows binaries:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/win32/mkvtoolnix-0.9.2.rar
(These are being built as I write this, but they should be up in
10minutes.)
Fedora Core 1 binaries:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/redhat/mkvtoolnix-0.9.2-1.i386.rpm
SuSE 9.0 binaries:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/suse/mkvtoolnix-0.9.2-1.i586.rpm

Here's the ChangeLog since 0.9.1:
-------------------------------------
2004-06-29  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* Released v0.9.2.

	* mmg: Updated the mkvmerge GUI guide to reflect changes and
	additions.

2004-06-25  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mmg: new feature: Added 'minimize' buttons to the two 'mkvmerge
	is running' dialogs.

	* mmg: new feature: Added an option for automatically calling
	'File -> new' after a job has been added to the job queue.

2004-06-24  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvextract: bug fix: Video extraction was not working correctly
	on big endian systems.

2004-06-21  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mmg: bug fix: The job manager did not always catch all of
	mkvmerge's output, especially if a job failed.

2004-06-20  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvmerge, mmg: new feature: --track-order now controls the track
	creation order globally, meaning that it isn't used for each file
	but only once. This allows the tracks to be created in ANY order
	(before it was first ordered by file, then by track). For mmg this
	means that the track list contains all available tracks and that
	there are no 'up' and 'down' buttons in the file list anymore.

	* mmg: new feature: Line wrap the tooltips on Windows.

	* mmg: new feature: Suggest a name for a new job based on the
	output file name.

	* mmg: new feature: Temporarily disaable 'always on top' if the
	muxing or the job dialog are visible.

	* mmg: new feature: Ask for confirmation before adding a job if
	there's already an old job with the same description.

	* mkvmerge: new feature: You can specifiy the time after which to
	split with ms precision.

2004-06-19  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mmg: bug fix: The functions 'move up', 'move down' and 'delete'
	in the 'job' dialog were not working correctly on Windows.

2004-06-15  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed more of that 'garbage at the beginning
	of MP3 streams' issue.

2004-06-13  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mmg: bug fix: The 'always on top' option was ignored when
	starting mmg.

	* mkvmerge: bug fix: Reading of broken / unfinished AVI files was
	broken on Windows.
-------------------------------------

Have fun :)
