My reader is MP9. It does not work. The MP9 told the file is in used and can't open. I try to grab/save from virtual vcr and open the file with MP9. it's still not ok. (file in used) I try to convert and avi and open the .mkv before the convertion ended and it does not work. (file in used) I try to use graph edit from my web cam the the matroska muxer. same problem. How can i overcome ? is it possible ? I test it whith different codec but it should work with any codec ! Many thanks.

While it doesnt support all codecs in MKV, it supports most of them, also MPEG4 video ( DivX, XviD ), MP3, AAC, FLAC, MPEG1/2 video, etc Christian matroska project admin From bruno.pairault at noos.fr Mon Sep 6 11:06:24 2004 From: bruno.pairault at noos.fr (bruno pairault) Date: Mon, 6 Sep 2004 11:06:24 +0200 Subject: [Matroska-general] seeking in .mkv while recording with Dshow filter Message-ID: <20040906090632.3EB0C27C61@mx.noos.fr> .mkv seek when they are recording using VLC 7.2 but not when they are read with MP9. MP9 use DirectX while VLC should not. I try to read the file using DirectX, GraphEdit Reader is : Matroska Source + DivX decoder + Renderer Writer is Camera USB + DivX codec + matroska muxer + file writer. It does not play with DirectX. I think now that the problem come with de Matroska Source filter which could not open a file not "close". Can someone correct that ? How can I overcome this.

Hi, Yes the binaries are not available anymore as it's not supported anymore. You can use the splitter in the official pack (latest one from guliverkli) at http://packs.matroska.org/ The latest sources of MkxDs can still be found in our SVN server.

The players that support mpeg4 in avi already will have no trouble with similar matroska files. Typical players available here support all mpeg4 features (some can't do GMC), can play MP3/AC3 sound in avi, and some can play external SRT subs. Also, I added integer-only support to my parser library, so it can be used in standalone devices. Maybe it's time to approach device manufacturers again? /Mike From renekoch at e-divx.at Mon Sep 20 16:57:21 2004 From: renekoch at e-divx.at (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Ren=E9_Koch?=) Date: Mon, 20 Sep 2004 16:57:21 +0200 Subject: [Matroska-general] Re: FAQ for coders of firmware for DiVX standalone's In-Reply-To: <414E7391.3020504@po.cs.msu.su> References: <414914EB.7050201@punkass.com> <414DEB82.3080502@matroska.org> <414E7391.3020504@po.cs.msu.su> Message-ID: <414EEFD1.40600@e-divx.at> Hey!

I also think that a simple hardware profile with DivX, XviD and MPEG2 as video codecs, MP2, MP3, AC3 and DTS as audio codecs and SRT for subtitles would be a good start for Matroska on standalones. In my opinion ist's better to support just a few codecs for standalones then no support of matroska on standalones... cu, scrat From steve.lhomme at free.fr Thu Sep 23 11:29:31 2004 From: steve.lhomme at free.fr (Steve Lhomme) Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2004 11:29:31 +0200 Subject: [Matroska-general] [Fwd: Your project on SF.net / iPod] Message-ID: <4152977B.9050601@free.fr> Now that's pimping ! -- robUx4 on blog -------------- next part -------------- An embedded message was scrubbed...

If code is free for anyone then you do NOT have to decide between "good" and "evil", so that's good (IMHO). The GPL also states that you may not put restrictions on the code as to who may use it and who may not if I'm not mistaken.

This is exactly the attitude of the FSF and IMO the biggest evil they ever produced. Sun made OOo Open Source, but that doesn't mean they have to play according to the rules the _FSF_ set. I don't have a problem if they have a commerical version of OOo, I might even buy it if the added values are worth it. But I can't understand this GPL zealots, because that's going to kill Free Software in the long term. As company, dealing with the GPL is very difficult, because the Everything-Open-Source paradigm is normally utopic.
