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 Only very old and outdated versions of mkvmerge are made with cygwin.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

) , 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 .....

The best tool to create MKV files is a CLI based program called mkvmerge, but not everybody likes to mess with Command Lines ( like me

), so we started a project called 'mmg' which is nothing but a GUI for mkvmerge.

Right now mkvmerge is coming with its own GUI based on wxwindows, and Mosu named the .exe file mmg.exe ( :O ), which some people might find pretty confusing, thats what i ment .....

new question concerning matroska. How do I setup and use aspect ratio flags to have the video display at the correct aspect ratio?

"Aspect ratio" in the "Global" setting tab.

However, Gabest's DirectShow filter doesn't seem to use the aspect ratio information.

Two players I know of that do aspect ratio correction are The Core Media Player (http://www.corecoded.com/modules.php?op ... e=download) and mplayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu).
