You are probably using a very old version of our matroska playback pack, or you are not using it at all. For somebody coming from Japan, your error description is very unprecise. You could at least have told us what player you are using to play MKV files and what you have installed before to support MKVs on your machine. After installing the latest lite pack from http://packs.matroska.org, your problem should be gone Christian matroska project admin http://www.matroska.org From chris at matroska.org Mon Nov 7 22:40:21 2005 From: chris at matroska.org (Christian HJ Wiesner) Date: Mon, 07 Nov 2005 22:40:21 +0100 Subject: [Matroska-general] question In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <436FC9C5.9000602@matroska.org> tung huynh schrieb: > i was wondering what program do i need to add subtitles my self, i > have the sub station alpha but dont know how to use it, is there an > easier program to work with There are two tools : 1.

Are the specs of their 'self made' video codec open now, so that a decoder based on a free library could be implemented ? When ratDVD came out there has been quite some hype about it. Soon after that, people found out that the 'container' they made is basically a ZIP file, with some DVD like file structure inside (mainly a copy of the source DVD). Only the MPEG PS video streams have been replaced by their own compression, but are obviously still embedded in a kind of MPEG container. What was making this project very interesting for us is the DVD like menue navigation DirectShow filter they released with the win32 binaries, allowing to play the files, including menues, in Windows Media Player. The feel and looks was like playing a DVD. They were stating on their homepage that their menue naviagtion filter is self made and based on libdvdnav. We were anxious to have a look at the code, as we are facing similar problems as they must have had initially, to support our matroska menue system (which exists already in working code since 4 months BTW, in specs even longer) in WMP and other DirectShow based players. However, the ratDVD devs found a nice workaround to not have to release the full filter source code, they wrapped libdvdnav in a COM object and released this part of the code only, the filter itself is closed source same way as the encoder and the rest of the program. We believe this is a clear GPL violation (libdvdnav), because the filter will not work at all without the lib (it will depend to 100% on it, thats clear). When we made this public we were accused of wanting to steal the code for our own filter, being stupid because the matroska menue system is very much different than of ratDVD. However, it was enough for us to shut up about it and leave it to the libdvdnav devs to handle that, or not. For me personally its clear that the ratDVD devs have commercial interests. Otherwise, they would open up their sourcecode ? Speaking of the matroska menue system, we have plenty of files on our HDDs including menues, and full spec compliant (here : http://www.matroska.org/technical/menu/index.html ). Most of the current files are using extracted menues from source DVDs, using our tool DVDmenuXtractor. What we are currently lacking for full menue support is - player support. robux4 is working on implementation into VLC, basic functions working fine already, full release expected in 4 - 10 weeks - a free matroska menue editor. Some people in the team are now working on an editions editor, a first step into the direction of a menue editor. However, thats still a loooong way to go.

Message-ID: Hi, I'm pretty new to the media container world, so please excuse my newb-ness. I'm wondering if the matroska container supports the playback of files based on a descriptor file. I'll give you an idea of what I'm looking for. A container that carries multiple video, audio, and meta data files. The container would play back the content based on, lets say, some sort of markup language. The idea is that you would be able to edit the playback of the container through adjustments to the markup file. I'm very interested in this concept and I'm looking around to see if it has been done before. I know most media formats contain media that is already edited, however, a non-edited format would allow for easy colaboration and the concept of open source editing. Let me know what you think of this, and if you know of any existing formats like this. Cheers -- D.

So it's basically not covered by what is "inside" matroska. So that could be defined elsewhere and then implemented in players. But you'll need support from developpers for that.

Without more information about your MKV file, we have no idea what is missing. If you have the matroska full pack installed, there is a tool called matroskadiag.exe coming with it. Use it to find out what type of audio streams are used in your MKV file, by sending us the text log from the file info tab (just paste it into an email text body).
