We're called microPledge, and we're looking for useful and interesting projects to fill our site before we start advertising to the general public - within a week if we get enough projects on site. You can find us at http://micropledge.com/ and you can sign up at https://micropledge.com/signup We help people pledge small amounts (or large amounts!) of money to you and others. For much open-source software, people are reluctant to give money, because they're afraid nothing will come of it. microPledge, however, holds their money in a trust until they see the developer's made real progress on the software. They can't pull their money out unless the project fails, so developers can be confident they will get the money. This enables trust on both sides, and it means people are more ready to support your software. We provide a free service for open-source software. To put your project on microPledge, visit http://micropledge.com/dream and enter your project details. Make sure you select "Let only me quote" (unless you want to open up the project for quotes from other develop ers). If you're part of a development team, simply enter your project's name as your username when you sign up, and choose somebody's email for the microPledge emails and PayPal funds to come to. Some existing projects, perhaps like yours, may prefer our donations-only scheme. This might work best if you're just bug-fixing and can't aim for any feature milestone. It is different from pledges, because the money goes directly to you instead of being held in trust until you make progress releases. I'm sure you have other sources of donations, but another might help. To create a donations-only project, simply visit http://micropledge.com/dream , create a project and select the 'donations-only' option. We're working towards partnering with SourceForge.net so that they will allow you to place microPledge links on your SourceForge.net project page, providing you with easier-to-find sources of revenue, without somebody taking a cut. The more people who pledge to open-source software, the more pledging will become a way to provide open-source developers wit h a stable source of funds. You can help us, and help the Open Source movement, by letting others know about us. By all means, let us know how you find our service. We appreciate your time. Bryan, for the microPledge team.

I am having trouble playing a specific mkv file: I have loaded all the latest codecs for all media playing, yet I still cannot get any video playback on the VLC player with this file. I can get other Mkv files to play fine but not this. When I attempt to play the file all I get is audio. NO video! The file is pretty new. Is there a special codec or encoding technique that was made recently that I now need??? I tried convert these mkv to ogm, but until I have a filter that lets me playback these mkv files.

To be honest, i have not heard from Alexander Noe, the maker of the program, for a long time. It may be that he discontinued development on avi-mux GUI (short : AMG), and maybe also his usual download space is not available anymore. I will send the version of the program i have here on my HDD in a separate email to you, dating from end of 2005, so that you can do some testing with it. Most matroska users today are using mkvmerge from Mosu's mkvtoolnix package, but especially if you are into tags and chapters editing, there are some clear advantages in using avi-mux GUI. mkvmerge and its GUI, still until today, do not offer possibilities to edit or add tags and advanced chapter information, while AMG will allow for that. Be aware though, that some more modern video compression methods, like h.264 (AVC), may not be handled by AMG at all, forcing you to using mkvmerge if you intend to create MKV files containing this stream type.

The correct page is http://www.alexander-noe.com/ specifically http://www.alexander-noe.com/video/amg/ Not being a student anymore, I have very little time to continue the development, but I am still on it.

Patch by Mihail Zenkov (see AUTHORS). 2007-08-15 Moritz Bunkus * mkvextract: enhancement: Added support for extracting Dolby Digital Plus (EAC3) tracks. * mkvmerge: bug fix: SPS and PPS NALUs are no longer removed from AVC/h.264 streams. Hopefully a fix for bug 231. 2007-07-19 Moritz Bunkus * mkvmerge: enhancement: Fixed SSA/ASS detection for files produced by Aegis Sub which doesn't include a line with '[script info]' in the file. 2007-07-07 Moritz Bunkus * mmg: enhancement: Added another option how mmg choses the directory if automatic output filename creation is on. Implements all suggestions as listed in bug 248. 2007-07-05 Moritz Bunkus * mmg: enhancement: Moved the complete 'settings' tab to its own dialog accessible via the 'Settings' option in the 'File' menu. 2007-06-30 Moritz Bunkus * mmg: new feature: Added a buton 'remove all' which removes all input files and tracks leaving all other options as they are. Fix for bug 248. * mmg: new feature: Added an option for setting the default output directory if the automatic setting of the output file name is turned on. Fix for bug 248. * mkvmerge: enhancement: DTS code: Some tools (e.g. Surcode) can create DTS files which are padded with zero bytes after each DTS frame. These zero bytes are now skipped without printing a warning. * mmg: enhancement: mmg can now be called with any file name as an argument. If it ends with 'mmg' then the file will be loaded as a 'mmg settings file'. Otherwise mmg will 'add' it. Fix for bug 243. 2007-06-27 Moritz Bunkus * mkvmerge: bug fix: The OGM reader uses the OGM's timestamps for video tracks. Before it would just use the current frame number multiplied by the FPS. * mkvmerge: enhancement: The OGM reader now uses the AVC/h.264 video packetizer for AVC/h.264 tracks so that the aspect ratio can be extracted from it. 2007-06-25 Moritz Bunkus * mkvmerge: bug fixes: Fixed a couple of memory leaks. 2007-06-24 Moritz Bunkus * mkvmerge: new feature: Added better checks if two tracks can be appended to the passthrough packetizer so that tracks that are otherwise not known to mkvmerge can still be appended (e.g. V_VC1). Fix for bug 244. 2007-06-23 Moritz Bunkus * mmg: The NALU size length can now be chosen for all AVC tracks, not only for those that are handled by the 'AVC ES packetizer'. * mkvmerge: bug fix: The 'default track' flag was set to 'yes' for tracks read from Matroska files even if 'no' was specified on the command line. * mkvextract: new feature: Added support for the 'header removal' encoding scheme. 2007-06-21 Moritz Bunkus * mkvmerge: new feature: The NALU size length of an AVC/h.264 track can now be changed even if the source is not an elementary stream (e.g. for MP4 and Matroska files). 2007-06-19 Moritz Bunkus * mkvmerge: enhancement: Added support for RealAudio v3 in RealMedia files. Patch by Aurelian Jacobs. Fix for bug 246. 2007-06-11 Moritz Bunkus * mmg: Moved the command line to a separate dialog and reduced the main window's height. 2007-04-30 Moritz Bunkus * mkvmerge: bug fix: Another bug fix for handling various AC3 and E-AC3 files in MPEG program streams. 2007-04-26 Moritz Bunkus * mkvmerge: bug fix: Added support for handling SEI NALUs in AVC/h.264 elementary streams so that "key frames" can be detected even if no IDR slices are present. 2007-04-19 Moritz Bunkus * mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the VobSub reader so that "delay:" lines with negative timecodes are accepted. Fix for bug 241. 2007-04-18 Moritz Bunkus * mkvmerge: bug fix: Improved the file type detection code for MPEG transport streams. 2007-03-23 Moritz Bunkus * mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a problem reading normal AC3 tracks from MPEG program streams. 2007-03-22 Moritz Bunkus * mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed an issue with negative/huge timecodes after splitting AVC/h.264 video. 2007-03-16 Moritz Bunkus * mkvmerge: enhancement: The SRT reader allows "." as the decimal separator as well as ",". 2007-03-12 Moritz Bunkus * mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a problem with concatenating more than two subtitle files. 2007-03-08 Moritz Bunkus * mkvmerge: The MPEG program stream reader will now sort the tracks it finds first by their type (video > audio > subs) and then by their stream ID. * mkvmerge: Disabled the support for DTS tracks in MPEG program streams because DTS HD is not supported yet. * mkvmerge: enhancement: Implemented a major speed-up for reading MPEG-1/2 and AVC/h.264 tracks from MPEG program streams. 2007-03-05 Moritz Bunkus * mkvmerge: enhancement: Fixed the MPEG PS reader so that it will just skip blocks whose headers it cannot parse instead of aborting. * mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for handling AVC/h.264 tracks in MPEG program streams. 2007-03-02 Moritz Bunkus * mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for EAC3 tracks in MPEG program streams. * mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for EAC3/DD+ (Dolby Digital Plus) files and tracks (raw EAC3 files or inside Matroska with CodecID A_EAC3). ------------------------------------------------------------ Have fun.

Over the past couple months, I have been working on an idea for a daemon that could control the execution of recurrent tasks (like Windows task scheduler) and could automate complex workflows. I often use virtualdubmod and part of the idea is that this daemon would subsume the responsibility of virtualdubmod?s ?job queue.? You could express such things as ?after you?ve finishing converting all files in virtualdubmod, then convert these audio files with ffmpeg then work on these subtitles then create a DVD.? The idea is that there is a daemon but also a library that can be linked with each application and this library communicates with the daemon to schedule a task and to say what that task?s dependencies are. This would give a similar capability to the graphical production of a batch file. I?m interested in speaking with you and getting your feedback on this matter. Regards, Todd A.
