Summary : Matroska container manipulation utilities
Description :
Mkvtoolnix is a set of utilities to mux and demux audio, video and subtitle
streams into and from Matroska containers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
## New features and enhancements * GUI: chapter editor: added a character set
selection in the preferences for text files. If a character set is selected
there, it will be used instead of asking the user when opening text chapter
files. Implements #1874. * GUI: multiplexer: added a column "character set" to
the "tracks, chapters and tags" list view showing the currently selected
character set for that track. Implements #1873. * mkvmerge: added an --engage
option "all_i_slices_are_key_frames" for treating all I slices of an
h.264/AVC
stream as key frames in pathological streams that lack real key frames.
Implements #1876. * GUI: running programs after jobs: added a new variable
MTX_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY for the directory the MKVToolNix GUI executable is
located in. * mkvmerge: DVB subtitle tracks whose CodecPrivate data is only four
bytes long will now be fixed up to the proper five bytes by adding the
subtitling type byte. * mkvmerge: MP4 reader: "ctts" version 1 atoms are now
supported. ## Bug fixes * mkvmerge: AC-3 handling: some source files provide
timestamps for audio tracks only once every n audio frames. In such situations
mkvmerge was buffering too much data resulting in a single gap in the
timestamps of one frame duration after frame number n - 1 (the second audio
timestamp read from the source file was used one output frame too early).
Fixes #1864. * mkvmerge: MP4 reader: mkvmerge was only reading a small part of
MP4 DASH files where the first "moov" "mdat" atoms occur before the
first
"moof" atom. This is part of the fix for #1867. * mkvmerge: MP4 reader: edit
list ("edts" atoms) that are part of the "moof" atoms used in MP4
DASH files
weren't parsed. Instead the edit lists from the main track headers inside the
"moov" atom were used. This is part of the fix for #1867. * mkvmerge: MP4
reader: when an MP4 DASH file contained both normal chunk offset table
("stco"/"co64" atoms) in their regular "moov" atoms, a
sample-to-chunk table
("stsc" atom) whose last entry had a "samples per chunk" count
greater than 1
and DASH "trun" atoms, then mkvmerge was calculating wrong positions the
frame
content. This is part of the fix for #1867. * mkvmerge: MP4 reader: mkvmerge
couldn't deal with the key frame index table having duplicate entries. The
result was that only key frames up to and including the first duplicate entry
were marked as key frames in the output file. All other frames weren't, even
though some of them were referenced from the key frame table after the first
duplicate entry. This is part of the fix for #1867. * mkvmerge: MP4 reader:
when an MP4 file contained more than one copy of the "moov" atom (the track
headers etc.), mkvmerge was parsing them all adding tracks multiple times. Fix
for #1877. * mkvmerge: MP4 reader: fixed an integer overflow during the
timestamp calculation leading to files with wrong timestamps. Such files could
not be played back properly by most players. Fixes #1883. * mkvmerge: MPEG TS
reader: if the PMT lists a DVBSUB track, mkvmerge will now recognize it
without having to find a packet for it within the probed range. * mkvmerge:
splitting by parts (both the "timestamps" and the "frames"
variants): fixed
the calculation of track statistics tags. When calculating the duration the
skipped portions weren't taken into account leading to a too-high duration. As
a consequence the BPS tag (bits per second) was wrong, too. Fixes #1885. *
mkvmerge: reading files with DVB/HDMV TextSV subtitle tracks with invalid
CodecPrivate caused mkvmerge to abort with an error from boost::format about
the format string not having enough arguments. Fixes #1894. * mkvmerge: fixed
misdetection of certain AC-3 files as MP3 files which led to an error message
that "the demultiplexer could not be initialized". * mkvmerge: fixed huge
memory
consumption when appending big Matroska files with sparse tracks (e.g. forced
subtitle tracks). The Matroska reader will now queue at most 128 MB of data.
Fixes #1893. * mkvmerge: MP4 reader: the timestamps of all multiplexed tracks
will now be 0-based properly. * mkvmerge: MP4 reader: the DTS-to-PTS offsets
given by the "ctts" atoms are now applied for all tracks containing a
"ctts"
atom, not just h.264 & h.265 tracks.
