I am not a dev myself, just admin, but i am 100% this is possible if the
appended video has the same number of tracks and codecs. Of course, you need
to change the header of the MKV file accordingly.

Are you sure the MKV file does play fine in Windows Mediaplayer ?

As a matter of fact, there IS hardware support for matroska since quite some
time. Check google for companies like COWON or go http://www.dvico.com/ . I
had personally edited the wikipedia matroska entry in this respect, listing
a number of hardware units whoch do exactly that. However, shortly after
that SOMEBODY had removed these entries.

Honi soit, qui mal y pense ?

I probably have to find the time to do this once more, and observe closely
who will delete the information, and with what reasoning behind. It is
possible that either the enemies of matroska, or companies competing those
who do have MKV support already, are behind this,

Hi - I have a couple of Matroska movies and, as far as I can tell, the
newest drivers (I'm using Vista Ultimate x64 Media Centre). The picture is
fantastic (they're the hi-def versions) but the sound won't sync. If I stop,
go back aways etc, it gets closer, but never locks. However, I also have a
lot of TV shows in .mkv format and they play flawlessly. Oh, and on another
.mkv movie I have the director's commentary droning on and I can't deep-six
that either. I know these are probably very obvious questions with
straightforward answers, but I'd be grateful if you could point me to the
tools I need and say a walk-through.

Thanks a lot

Mark J

There is a high probability that your CPU is not strong enough to play the
hi-res movie in sync. Watch your CPU load during playback, if its very close
to 90% then this is most likely the problem.#

Hi,
 
I would like to reserve a few IDs for use in Matroska format.
I am developing video signing features and want to be sure
that in a future no other software will produce files using those
IDs in a different way.
 
What is the way to do it? What do I need to provide to Matroska
team to make it done? Is there any payment associated with that?

Michal Puczynski

Subject: [Matroska-general] DTS in MKA
Message-ID: <g44vq7$hfr$1@ger.gmane.org>

Hello,

I'm having a problem putting a DTSWAV into a MKA container using the 
lastest mkvtoolnix.

mkvmerge recognizes the file correctly as DTS and the muxing completes 
without errors. However, opening the file in Winamp or VLC crashes them 
(they close right away without any error messages).

As it turns out, the MKA file is too small (79mb compared to the 91mb of 
the original DTSWAV), so clearly something went wrong there.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
raph

What do you mean by "latest"? The latest build from
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/win32/pre/ ? If not, please
try the latest one.

DTSWAV encodes 14 bits of DTS data in 16 bits. If you extract the DTS
data from the file into a normal DTS file then it will shrink to 87,5%
of the DTSWAV file's size (14/16 = 87,5%). The same is true for
Matroska. Therefore I doubt that there's any data missing in the
Matroska file.

Mosu

Mosu,

I was using the version from your website [1], but the latest build you 
linked to in your reply produces the same problem.

It seems like VLC crashes rather harshly, the log doesn't show anything 
that looks suspicious (see attachment).

I will try muxing it on my Laptop to make sure that it's not my oddball 
computer that's screwing things up.

You could send the list of IDs here and we can put them in the spec (in 
a different colour) with a website of yours describing the elements or 
the project.

Different computer, same problem. This sucks :-(
