KiSS and Nero made it it seems. I wonder what chipset, if any, its using 
? Current SIGMA chips should definitely not be strong enough for that IMO.

Subject: [Matroska-general] mkvtoolnix 1.5.6 released
Message-ID: <200509071907.13517.moritz@bunkus.org>

Heya guys,

here we go! I consider this release to be a "major bugfix"
release. There were a lot of issues that I was finally able to track
down or that were simply new bugs I didn't know about before. So I
strongly advise to upgrade to this version.

However, AVC aspect ratio info handling has been changed (see the
ChangeLog below for details), and it's quite possible that new bugs have
introduced in the process.

Here are the typical links...
...to the home page:
https://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/
...the source code:
https://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/mkvtoolnix-1.5.6.tar.bz2
...the Windows Unicode installer:
https://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/win32/mkvtoolnix-unicode-1.5.6-setup.exe

All the other packages are/will be available from the home page.

The ChangeLog since 1.5.5:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
2005-09-06  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mmg: bug fix: If the user selected an aspect ratio for a video
	track, then chose "File -> new", added a file, selected another
	video track and chose the same aspect ratio as before then it
	wasn't added to the command line. Fixes Anthill bugs 132 and 146.

	* mkvmerge: bug fix: Support Qt/MP4 files with 64bit offset tables
	('co64' atom instead of 'stco' atom).

2005-09-04  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvmerge: new feature: mkvmerge will remove the aspect ratio
	information from a AVC/h.264 video track bitstream and put it into
	the display dimensions (until now the AR information was kept on
	the bitstream level). The reason is that in Matroska the container
	AR is supposed to take precedence over bitstream AR, but some
	decoder programmers ignore the container AR in favour of bitstream
	AR.

2005-08-31  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvinfo: bug fix: The GUI couldn't open files with non-ASCII
	chars in the file name.

2005-08-30  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvmerge: bug fix: Display dimensions were reported for all
	tracks, even if they weren't present. In that case they allegedly
	were "0x0" which caused mmg to add "--display-dimensions ...:0x0"
	for each track read from a Matroska file, even if the tracks were
	not video tracks.

2005-08-28  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvextract: bug fix: The extracted timecodes were wrong for
	blocks with laced frames.

2005-08-25  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvmerge: bug fix: If a Matroska file with a MPEG-4 part 2 video
	track was muxed into a Matroska file and the source file did not
	contain the display width/height elements for that track then the
	aspect ratio was extracted from the video data itself which
	clashes with the Matroska specs which say that display
	width/height default to the pixel width/height if they're not
	present.

2005-08-24  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvmerge: bug fix: Native MPEG-4 ASP storage was still bugged:
	timecodes were assigned twice, frames referenced themselves.

	* mkvmerge: bug fix: Embedded fonts and pictures in a SSA/ASS file
	are not discarded any longer. They are converted to Matroska
	attachments instead. Other sections that were discarded are added
	to the CodecPrivate data as are "Comment:" lines in the "[Events]"
	section. Those comment lines still lose their association for
	which "Dialogue:" line they were meant, but that cannot be
	changed.

2005-08-21  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvmerge: bug fix: --delay was not working at all.

	* mkvmerge: bug fix: Single digit numbers followed by 's' were not
	recognized as valid numbers with a unit (e.g. in '--delay 0:9s').

I thought the idea of the .mkv file type was fabulous. I've seen a lot of people using it, and one of the anime series that I watch has now switched over to using only .mkv files. Unfortunately that is a bad thing, as I have tried to install a matroska player on several occasions, and have had no luck whatsoever in playing the file. I downloaded 

MediaPlayer Classic 6.4.8.2 2004-07-19

On your downloads page. That refused to play the file because it needed a codec that it says does not exist, and when I tried to close it, it refuses to do so, and is currently sitting there doing nothing. I installed

Matroska Pack Full v1.1.1 (2005-05-23)

But Windows Media player still won't play it. I tried the Core Media player, that won't play it. I am a CS major, so it's not like I'm incompetent with computers. I just want to watch my anime. What is going on?

Alternatively there is a Tool called MatroskaDiag in the pack that you 
should try. It will help you know what's wrong with your system.

I have an mkv movie file I would like to burn to a DVD.  I have Nero.  Nero
doesn't recognize mkv files.  What can I do?  Thanks.

 

Is there a place on your website that explains this?  I couldn't find
anything about burning, just playing.  It plays on my pc just fine but I
want to burn it so I can watch it on TV.

Hey Gabest, good to see you are alive :) ! Pls. if you find the time, 
join us on irc.corecodec.com/.org #matroska , there are a lot of news. 
Steve Lhomme is now working for DivX Networks and there is even hardware 
support for MKV files in the works now.

Thanks for the info about TMPG, we will investigate the problem now. Is 
it possible that TMPG requires a real splitter instead of a source 
filter, like Haali's filter ?

What OS are you using? Hyperthreading is inherently broken on Windows 
2000, so if
you are using something older than Windows XP, that could be the reason.

I was just trying to figure out what the file is which allows .mkv files to 
be decoded. I currently have matroskamuxer.ax but I'm starting to think that 
this isn't the codec that decodes them. I don't care about making Matroska 
videos I just want the file to decode them, so which of them is it? And 
what's with this new splitter, is it the decoder or just a splitter?

I have a HP Pavilion notebook running Windows XP SP2.  It is a 1.86GHz AMD with 448MB of RAM.

That being said, whenever I try to watch a .MKV file, the processor/fan go into overdrive to play the file.  I'm afraid of overheating my poor notebook just trying to watch a movie file.  Why is this happening and is there anything I can do so my processor doesn't overload?

Thanks.

What kind of file is it ? (video codec)
H264 or RV9/10 need a lot of CPU to decode. Although they work fine with 
my Athlon XP-2400+
