Matroska

Postby CaTaClYsM » Mon Sep 22, 2003 9:01 pm

Need to figure out how to make a matroska file. I've got graph edit, I've got MKVmerge (and get errors.) so what do I do.

Vdubmod can make them. Of course, I'm not all that experienced with matroska yet, and these might not be "proper" mkv files. Just a suggestion though.

In my experience it's been as simple as

mkvmerge stream1.avi audio.wav -o output.mkv

where stream1.avi contained a DivX-compatible XviD video stream, audio.wav was the audio, and output.mkv was the output Matroska container.

I was using the Linux build of Matroska but the functionality should still be the same...

mkvmerge doesn't work and Vdub mod wont work with RM video, and I don't know if it works for OGG audio. So long story short, those two methods are out.

What do you mean by "doesn't work"? Is an error message given? The only mkvmerge Windows binaries ones I know of require the Cygwin DLLs -- do you have those? (I can't remember if they come with the package or not.)

RealVideo video streams are broken at the moment IIRC, but Vorbis audio is supported.

Realvideo isn't broken, that was fixed awhile ago.

libiconv is a GNU library that performs Unicode representation <-> internal representation conversion. Learn more here.

There's probably packages of the win32 dll floating around but it may be easier to just install Cygwin: http://www.cygwin.com

I know what your problem is and I'll fix it. Tomorrow. Or sometime.

Did you even read what I wrote?

You need libiconv. It's a character representation set conversion library. I said that the Cygwin packages might have it. What you wrote in prior posts seemed to indicate that you had only the Cygwin runtimes, and those two are NOT the same thing.

However, it turns out that there's an easy way to get the required files.

Download this and put it into the mkvtools directory.

1. Only very old and outdated versions of mkvmerge are made with cygwin. All latest versions, and since several weeks already, are compiled with mingw and dont require external DLLs.

2. Latest mkvmerge ( 0.7.0 ) is out since a couple of days now, and Mosu integrated its own GUI to it ( he called it mmg also, which i find confusing :shock: ) , get it here , or to be more specific, here
Very unfortunately, SirElvis, the developer of the first mmg version hosted on corecodec.org as a project has not been since almost one months now :( .....

3. As stated in another thread here, vobsub subtitles are working now in a non-public alpha of mkvmerge, but there are no working DirectShow filters for that yet.

Stay tuned

I was posting rubbish, there is a runtime you need to have since 0.5.0, either copy it into the same folder as mkvmerge or into system32 .....
