Raw Blame History

2004-03-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Tags are being kept when reading Matroska
files.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Large values for --sync (over 2100) would
cause an integer overflow resulting in no sync being done at all.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The VobSub handling was broken if the .idx
file contains an entry for a track ("id: en") but no "timestamp:"
entries for such a track.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The segment UID was not generated if
splitting was off.
* mmg: new feature: Automatically set the output file name when
the first file is added to the same name but with a '.mkv'
extension if it hasn't been set yet. Can be disabled on the
'settings' page.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: More of the non-ASCII character fixes (in
--tags and --chapters this time).
* mkvmerge/mmg: new feature: Made the process priority selectable
on the 'settings' page and default to 'normal' again (was 'lower'
before).
2004-03-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: mmg will ask for confirmation before
overwriting an existing output file.
2004-02-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: No memory was allocated for the
--attachment-description resulting in weird descriptions or
mkvmerge aborting with 'invalid UTF-8 characters'.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: More of the non-ASCII characters fixes.
2004-02-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: File names with non-ASCII characters like
Umlaute are handled correctly.
2004-02-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Some RealMedia files contain several tracks
for multirate stuff which are now ignored. Only tracks with known
MIME types (audio/x-pn-realaudio and video/x-pn-realvideo) are
used.
2004-02-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: Added a list of 'popular' languages on top of all language
drop down boxes.
2004-02-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.8.5.
2004-02-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: segfault in the RealMedia reader.
* mmg: bug fix: When adding a Matroska file that contains a track
name or a title with non-ASCII characters those would be displayed
as UTF-8 in the appropriate input boxes. This has been changed,
but obviously it won't work if you add files with Japanese
characters on a system with a different locale. For full Unicode
support you'll have to wait quite a bit longer.
* mmg: bug fix: For some 'browse file' buttons the default
directory was not set to the last directory a file was selected
from.
2004-02-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added a function for adjusting the chapter
timecodes by a fixed amount.
2004-02-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Splitting by size would sometimes abort
directly after opening the second file.
2004-02-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Splitting by time was broken.
2004-02-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: A couple of changes that allow compilation on MacOS X.
* avilib: synchronized with transcode's current CVS version.
2004-02-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.8.4.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: When reading Matroska files the durations
attached to blocks were lost (e.g. for subtitle tracks).
2004-02-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.8.3.
2004-02-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: The LANGUAGE, TITLE tags and chapters are
being kept when reading OGM files.
* mkvmerge: Changed the meaning of '--global-tags'. They now apply
to the complete file.
2004-02-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: VobSub durations were not converted from ms
to ns precision resulting in VERY short packets :)
2004-02-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The change from ms to ns precision broke
subtitle handling from OGM.
2004-01-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Made "do not link files when splitting" the default,
just like in mmg.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Enabled reading of AAC from OGMs.
* mkvmerge: The VobSub reader will not discard packets that exceed
a certain size (64KB) anymore.
* mkvmerge: Improved some internal memory freeing decisions. This
should help with files/sections in which are only few keyframes.
2004-01-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Changed the two-pass splitting into a one-pass
splitting. The resulting files will always be a little bit larger
than the desired size/length, but this shouldn't matter.
2004-01-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Segfault when using external timecode v1
files.
2004-01-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: Rewrote the chapter editor. It now makes a lot more sense:
You can have multiple names for one chapter entry, and for each
name there's only one language/country association.
2004-01-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The AAC-in-Real stuff again.
2004-01-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Changed the complete timecode handling from ms
precision to ns precision. Expect some things to be broken by
this change.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a couple of memory leaks, especially in
the QuickTime/MP4 parser.
2004-01-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: Added some more extensions for RealMedia files.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Proper handling for AAC read from RealMedia
files (sample rate/output sample rate were not assigned
correctly).
* Released v0.8.2.
2004-01-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The PCM handling was broken resulting in
packets that did not end on sample boundaries.
2004-01-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: AVIs with uncompressed sound were leading to
buffer overflows.
* mkvmerge/mmg: allow the track names to be empty so that you can
remove them when muxing Matroska files. Same for the file title.
* mkvmerge: new feature: The track headers will be rendered
completely including the elements that are set to their default
values. Causes less confusion and allows the setting of e.g. the
track language without having to remux the file completely.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If remuxing a file that contains frames with
a reference to the same timecode those references were lost
turning such P frames into I frames. This was the case for some
RealAudio stuff.
2004-01-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Automatically pre-set the attachment's MIME
type if the file has a known extension (e.g. 'text/plain' for
'.txt').
* mkvmerge: new feature: Unknown/unsupported track types can be
copied 1:1 from Matroska input files.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added proper support for
AAC-inside-RealMedia files.
2004-01-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Write cues for audio-only files as well
(not more than one cue entry during a two seconds period).
2004-01-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The default track flags could not be
overriden on the command line when reading Matroska files.
* Windows binaries after v0.8.1 require a new runtime DLL
archive. Please download it from
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/ Thanks.
2004-01-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added the two new chapter flags 'hidden'
and 'enabled'.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added a new format for the external
timecode files.
2004-01-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The VobSub handling was on occasion putting
SPU packets for the wrong MPEG stream into the current stream
resulting in that particular entity not being displayed.
2004-01-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.8.1.
2004-01-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The I/O classes were not initialized
correctly on Windows resulting in spontaneous strange error
messages, especially when muxing VobSubs.
2004-01-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: For some special atom sizes in Quicktime and
MP4 files the size was not read correctly. This affected
e.g. files created by Nero Digital.
2004-01-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Segfault when muxing some video formats due
to unchecked data (includes RealVideo).
2004-01-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.8.0.
2003-12-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed the "write chapters to Matroska file"
feature.
* mmg: bug fix: Made mmg not abort but only display an error
message when malformed XML chapter files should be loaded.
2003-12-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The timescodes for Vorbis were calculated one
packet too early (meaning that the first packet did not start at
0).
* mmg: Made "don't link" ON by default because some players might
have problems with the second and all following files if they
don't expect them not to start at 0.
* mkvmerge, mkvextract, mkvinfo: Added support for the new tagging
system.
* mmg: bug fix: The default values for the chapter language and
chapter country are now applied when loading simple (OGM) style
chapter files as well.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The VobSub packetizer will assume MPEG2 if no
MPEG version identifier was found ("Unsupported MPEG version:
0x00...").
2003-12-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: There are MP4 files that actually contain HE-AAC but
don't have the 5 byte identifier. mkvmerge will also assume SBR if
there's only the 2 byte identifier with a sampling frequency <
44100Hz.
2003-12-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: Wrong display output and illegal memory
access when extracting FLAC files.
2003-12-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: If one added a Matroska file and the track name or
language of a track consisted of only blanks then mmg would
segfault.
2003-12-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: The input box will automatically select the first track
when a file is selected. Upon track selection the input focus is
set to the track name input box.
* mmg: The chapter editor automatically focuses the chapter name
input box whenever a chapter entry is selected.
* mmg: bug fix: The chapter editor did not properly escape the
chapter names resulting in invalid XML files if the special
characters &, < or > were used.
2003-12-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If splitting was active then a wrong CodecID
was written to the second and all following files for MP2 tracks.
2003-12-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.7.9.
2003-12-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Set the thread priority to BELOW_NORMAL on Windows
(mkvmerge was already nice(2)'d on Unix systems).
* mmg: bug fix: Removed the Ctrl-v and Ctrl-c accelerators that I
used for mmg functions which overrode the usual 'paste' and 'copy'
functionality.
* mmg: Command line arguments are put into an option file which is
then handed over to mkvmerge. This allows really long command
lines, even on Windows.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Negative track IDs in Ogg files were reported
incorrectly for mkvmerge -i (which affected the GUI).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Internal changes had messed up the --language
and --track-name functionality.
2003-12-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added "up" and "down" buttons for the tracks,
too.
* mmg: new feature: Added a menu option, 'set output file', that
can be used as an alternative to the "browse" button at the bottom
(for those poor users with nothing more than 800x600 ;)).
* mkvmerge: new feature: The user can alter the order in which the
tracks for an input file are put into the output file with the new
"--track-order" option.
* mmg: bug fix: The "AAC is SBR" check box was grayed out for AAC
inside MP4 files.
2003-12-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The "load settings" function did not load all
settings, and some strings were not allocated at all resulting in
a crash when a track was removed after loading these settings.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The AAC packetizer was not working if packets
were being read from a raw AAC file (it worked fine from MP4 and
Matroska files).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Avoid deadlocks when parsing broken SPU
packets from VobSubs.
* mmg: new feature: Added buttons for moving input files up and
down in the input file box.
2003-12-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.7.8.
* mmg: new feature: You can set the values for the language and/or
country codes for a chapter and all its children with the push of
one button (the new "Set values" button).
* mmg: new feature: You can set default values for the language
and the country codes in the chapter editor (Chapter menu -> Set
default values).
2003-12-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Display dimensions were sometimes off by one,
e.g. 640x479 instead of 640x480. This should not happen anymore
for sane pixel dimensions.
* mkvmerge: Changed the options '--fourcc' and
'--aspect-ratio'. They now take a track ID just like all the other
track specific options.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added an option '--display-dimensions'
which allows the direct setting of the display dimensions. It is
mutually exclusive with '--aspect-ratio', of course.
2003-11-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The language combo box was not correctly set on
Windows.
2003-11-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Added an option for dumpig all split points including
file size and timestamp information after the first splitting
pass.
2003-11-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Quotes were missing if the timecode file's name
contained spaces.
2003-11-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Rewrote the SPU packet parsing code. It should not
abort anymore.
* everything: Committed a lot of cross-OS compatibility fixes
(thanks to Haali and thedj).
2003-11-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.7.7.
* mkvextract: Added extraction of FLAC to raw FLAC or OggFLAC
files.
* mkvmerge: Added full support for FLAC (both raw FLAC and OggFLAC
are supported, even though raw FLAC is very slow).
2003-11-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: Added an input field for the 'CUE sheet to chapter name'
conversion format.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Reworked the audio sychronization which did
not work correctly for Matroska source files.
2003-11-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Increased the size of the space reserved for
the first meta seek element (see mkvmerge.1 for an
explanation). In some situations (with tags, chapters,
attachements and very big file) it might not have been enough in
order to contain all elements.
2003-11-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: Added an input field for the 'timecodes' file to the track
options.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: When reading MP3 audio tracks from a Matroska
file with the A_MS/ACM CodecID (MS compatibility mode) the layer
was not identified correctly.
* mkvmerge: Improved the file type detection for AC3 and AAC files
a bit.
* mkvmerge: Implemented a lot of fixes for big endian systems and
processors that don't allow non-aligned memory access for word or
bigger sized objects.
* mmg: Made mmg accept return codes of 1 when 'mkvmerge -i' is run
when an input file is added. This way mmg won't reject mkvmerge's
output if mkvmerge only printed some warnings which will result in
a return code of 1 instead of 0.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If running in identification mode (-i, used
by mmg a lot) then don't output any warnings or mmg will not
accept this file.
2003-11-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: CUE sheets can be used for chapters.
2003-11-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Added support for --sync for VobSub tracks.
* mkvtoolnix: Re-worked the configure script. Removed all the lib
specific --with-...-include and --with-...-lib options. The
--with-extra-includes and --with-extra-libs options can be used
instead.
2003-11-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: When a file is being added then some information from it
(languages, track names, file title) are kept, and the appropriate
input boxes are pre-set with these values. Works only for formats
that support such information (Matroska, VobSub).
* mkvmerge: Sped up the reading of VobSub .idx files.
2003-11-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.7.5.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The VobSub .idx parser was dividing by 0 if
a track only contained one entry.
* mkvmerge: Fixed the timecode reader code and made it a bit more
flexible. Added more documentation for this feature along with an
example file (examples/example-timecodes.txt).
* mmg: bug fix: When 'default track' is selected then all other
tracks of the same type will have their 'default track' flag
cleared.
* mkvmerge: SPU packets belonging to the same timecode are grouped
together, and the duration is extracted directly from the SPU
stream.
2003-10-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: The VobSubs are now stripped of the MPEG program
stream, and only the SPU packets are kept.
2003-10-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvextract: The Matroska reader and the OGM reader
(mkvmerge) as well as mkvextract will discard empty or 'cleaning
only' subtitle packets as they are appear in OGMs in order to mark
the end of an entry.
2003-10-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added the ability to read timecodes from
text files which override the timecodes mkvmerge calculates
normally.
2003-10-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: Add all the mandatory elements when
extracting chapters so that the resulting XML can always be used
directly with mkvmerge again without having to manually add
e.g. ChapterLanguage.
* mkvmerge: bug fix; Handle audio tracks from Matroska files with
the CodecID A_MS/ACM correctly.
2003-10-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Changes to use libmatroska's new lacing code.
2003-10-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The VobSub .idx parser was mis-calculating
the subtitle entry frame sizes.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The Vorbis packetizer was miscalculating the
number of samples to add/remove when using audio sync.
2003-10-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added a new menu entry "File -> new" which
will clear all the current muxing settings.
* mmg: Added support for VobSub subtitles including their
compression options. Added the .m4a extension to the 'add file'
dialog.
* mmg: bug fix: Made the input boxes for file names (tags and
chapters) editable so that their contents can be deleted.
* mkvmerge: Adjusted the compression handling to the final content
encoding specs.
2003-10-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Implemented generic support for frame
compression (mostly useful for VobSub subtitles but could also be
used for others) and the complete framework for handling content
encodings in the Matroska reader.
2003-10-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: new feature: Dump unknown elements recursively.
2003-10-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Made the SRT reader more tolerant regarding
empty lines.
2003-10-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.7.2.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If 'no linking' and splitting was active
mkvmerge would abort on the start of the second output file due to
timecodes that were calculated incorrectly.
* mkvmerge: Implemented some speedups for a couple of container
formats and track types (mainly AVI reader, MP3/AC3/AAC
packetizers). Especially noticeable when splitting is active as
well.
2003-10-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: Support for extracting SBR AAC (previous
'fix' did not actually fix this).
* mkvextract: bug fix: All extracted subtitles where written to
the first output file given, not to the one they were supposed to
be written to.
2003-10-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The 'abort' button was doing nothing under
Windows.
2003-10-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Audio, video and subtitle track selection was
translated into the wrong command line options.
* mkvmerge: Replaced the avilib based AVI reading functions with
AVI classes from Cyrius.
2003-10-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.7.1.
* Added a guide for mmg including some pictures.
2003-10-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Changed the lacing strategy again. New defaults are
NOT to write duration elements for all blocks, NOT to use time
slices and to USE lacing for most audio tracks. This will save
some space. The downside is that the laced frames 'lose' their
precise timecode information. Current demuxers don't care and will
work nevertheless. More sophisticated applications that make use
of these advanced information (duration elements, time slices) are
not available at the moment. All these options can be toggled by
the user with the new/modified options --disable-lacing,
--enable-durations and --enable-timeslices.
2003-09-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Attachments are kept when reading
Matroska files.
2003-09-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added a (nearly) full-featured chapter editor.
2003-09-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: XML chapters were not parsed correctly.
2003-09-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix/new feature: Rewrote the complete MP3
handling. Now files with ID3 tags (both v1 and v2) are handled
correctly. All MPEG-1 audio files (all layers) should be handled
correctly now.
2003-09-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: new feature: Support for extract HE-AAC tracks to
.aac files. Bug fix: Missing elements (default values) are handled
correctly for audio tracks.
2003-09-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bugfix: If attachments were given with path components
then the path component wasn't discarded for the attachment's
description on Windows (normally only the file name should be used
as the attachment's name).
* mmg: Fixed wrong order of the options --chapters,
--chapter-language and --chapter-charset.
2003-09-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: Added a lot of checks on the data given by the user so that
invalid data is reported by mmg and not by mkvmerge.
* mmg: Made the app a GUI app which gets rid of the "DOS box" on
Windows.
2003-09-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bugfix: Moved the aspect ratio and FourCC input fields from
the global tab to the input tab where they belong to.
* mkvmerge: new feature: RealAudio can be read from Matroska
files.
* mkvmerge: bugfix: RealVideo was not read correctly from Matroska
files.
* mkvmerge: bugfix: The SRT reader would abort if there was more
than one empty line between subtitle entries line.
* mkvextract: bugfix: Proper BOMs are written according to the
desired charset when extracting text subtitles.
* Released v0.7.0.
* mkvextract: Add an UTF-8 BOM to extracted SSA/ASS and SRT
subtitle files. Print warnings for missing durations for text
subtitle tracks.
2003-09-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Added a complete GUI for mkvmerge, mkvmergeGUI (mmg) based on
the work of Florian Wagner.
2003-09-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Support for setting the track names.
* mkvmerge: For Matroska source files: If the source contains
chapters then these are kept unless the user specified chapters
with --chapters.
2003-09-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Implemented an experimental VobSub reader and
packetizer. No specs exist for these yet, though.
* mkvmerge: Improved the support for Matroska files with tracks
with big gaps between entries, e.g. subtitle tracks whose entries
are a minute or more apart.
* mkvmerge: When splitting is active and the source is a Matroska
file then splitpoints were borked, and the first pass was slow as
your average mole.
* mkvmerge: The track UIDs are kept when reading Matroska files
even when splitting is active.
2003-09-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Added a QuickTime/MP4 reader. Can handle several
QuickTime video and QuickTime audio formats as well as AAC (both
'normal' AAC and SBR AAC).
2003-09-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: DisplayWidth and DisplayHeight are kept intact when
reading from a Matroska file but can be overridden with
--aspect-ratio.
2003-08-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Wrote documentation, XML examples and the DTD for the XML
chapter files.
* mkvinfo: Rewrote mkvinfo to use libebml's Read() function
instead of manually reading each and every element.
* mkvmerge: Added support for XML based chapter files.
2003-08-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.6.5.
2003-08-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: On Windows the 'isspace()' function used to trim
leading and trailing white spaces from tags considered some parts
of valid UTF-8 character sequences to be white spaces as
well. Fixed by replacing 'isspace()' with 'isblank()'. Reported
by Liisachan.
* mkvmerge: Support for chosing the charset and language used in
simple chapter files. Suggestion by Liisachan.
* Rewrote the UTF-8 conversion routines. They should now handle
U+8000 characters correctly. Reported by Liisachan.
* mkvmerge: Real reader: For RV40 the actual dimensions were also
used for the aspect ratio/display dimensions. This has been fixed:
the actual dimensions are used for PixelWidth/PixelHeight, the
dimensions stored in the RM container are used for the aspect
ratio/DisplayWidth & DisplayHeight. Reported by Karl Lillevold.
2003-08-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.6.4.
* mkvextract: Support for re-creating dropped frames when
extracting video to an AVI. Works only well if the frame durations
in the source file are multiples of the frame rate, of course.
* mkvmerge: The MP3 packetizer did not start at 0 with its
timecodes. It does now. Reported by alexnoe.
* mkvmerge: Proper support for dropped frames when reading AVI
files. Reported by alley_cat, Horv<72>th Istv<74>n.
* mkvmerge: Fixed some missing default values in the Matroska
reader (e.g. mono audio files). Reported by Liisachan.
2003-08-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Improved all command line parsing error messages.
* mkvmerge: Improved the error message for the XML tag file parser
if an invalid &-sequence is found.
* mkvextract: Strings are postprocessed so that the special
characters &, <, >, " are replaced by their HTML equivalents
&amp;, &lt, &gt; and &quot;.
2003-08-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Disabled lacing by default and renamed --no-lacing to
--enable-lacing. With all the proper info about the laced frames
lacing is actually producing larger files than without lacing.
* mkvmerge: Meta seek element is split into two elements. The
first's located at the start of the file containing only a small
number of level 1 elements. The clusters are referenced in a
second meta seek element located at the end of the file. Removed
the options "--meta-seek-size" and "--no-meta-seek". Added the
option to disable that second meta seek entry,
"--no-clusters-in-meta-seek".
2003-08-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: Backwards compatibility: Accepts S_SSA and S_ASS as
valid CodecIDs (new CodecIDs are S_TEXT/SSA and S_TEXT/ASS).
* mkvmerge: Bugfix: If a subtitle packet was the last packet in a
cluster then its duration was not written resulting in a broken file.
2003-08-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: Added support for the following elements:
KaxPrevFilename, KaxNextFilename, KaxTrackFlagEnabled,
KaxTrackName, KaxCodecName, KaxCodecSettings, KaxCodecInfoURL,
KaxCodecDownloadURL, KaxCodecDecodeAll, KaxTrackOverlay,
KaxAudioPosition, KaxAudioOutputSamplingFreq, KaxVideoDisplayUnit,

KaxReferenceVirtual, KaxSliceBlockAddID, KaxChapters,
KaxEditionEntry, KaxChapterAtom, KaxChapterUID,
KaxChapterTimeStart, KaxChapterTimeEnd, KaxChapterTrack,
KaxChapterTrackNumber, KaxChapterDisplay, KaxChapterString,
KaxChapterLanguage, KaxChapterCountry
2003-08-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.6.3.
* mkvmerge: The Real reader accepts incomplete video packets and
tries to re-assemble them instead of aborting with 'die: len !=
total'.
2003-08-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Implemented a switch that has to be used for SBR AAC /
AAC+ / HE-AAC if the source file is an AAC file and the AAC file
contains SBR AAC data (no automatic detection possible in this case!).
2003-08-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Low bitrate AC3 tracks from Real's DNET are identified
as A_AC3/BSID9 or A_AC3/BSID10.
* mkvmerge: The RealMedia reader takes the number of packets into
account when reading which results in better end-of-file detection.
2003-08-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Windows versions: Fixed a bug with files bigger than 2GB not
being recognized. The accompanying error message was "File NAME
has unknown type. Please have a look at the supported file
types..."
* all tools: Fixed a bug which would only allow Matroska files up
to 4GB to be read. The accompanying error message was "No segment
found" or something similar.
* mkvinfo: Unknown elements are properly skipped now.
2003-08-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: For RV40 (RealVideo 9) the actual video dimensions are
decoded from the first video frame.
* Released v0.6.2.
* mkvmerge: Video aspect ratio was set wrong if the user did not
specify any.
* Released v0.6.1.
* mkvmerge: RealVideo: Support for all kinds of frames including
"short" and "merged" frames (results are identical to Gabest's
output).
2003-08-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: The aspect ratio setting will only cause upscaling of
the current video dimensions which are then put into
KaxVideoDisplayWidth and KaxVideoDisplayHeight.
* mkvextract: Changed how the global elements are handled by
taking the parent's size into account. This re-enables processing
of files produced with the latest VirtualDubMod.
* mkvmerge: Changed how the Matroska reader handles global
elements by taking the parent's size into account. This re-enables
processing of files produced with the latest VirtualDubMod.
* mkvinfo: Changed how mkvinfo handles global elements by taking
the parent's size into account. Hopefully this is now correct.
* mkvextract: Support for MultiComment tags.
* mkvmerge: Fixed support for reading MultiComment tags from
XML tag files.
* mkvmerge: Allow some slightly broken Matroska files to be
processed correctly if the reference blocks are off by at most 1ms.
2003-08-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: MP3: Better support for other MPEG versions and layers
(number of samples per packet).
* mkvinfo: Added Adler32 calculation and display for frame
contents with the -c option.
* mkvmerge: RealAudio: "dnet" is actually byte-swapped AC3 and is
being treated as such (re-swapped and output as AC3).
* mkvmerge: Fixed a bug with chapters and splitting which would
crash mkvmerge if no chapter belonged into the output file.
2003-08-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Changes for compilation with gcc 2.95.
2003-08-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

binary elements in the tags.
2003-07-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: Support for extracting chapter information.

2003-07-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Added support tags based on XML files.
* mkvextract: Rewrote the command line syntax. Added extracting
attachments and tags as new options.

handle Unix/DOS style new line cases correctly.
2003-07-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Added support for the "SegmentTitle" (general title of
the file written).
2003-07-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Added support for UTF-8 and UTF-16 encoded text files
for the SRT and SSA/ASS readers.
2003-07-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: The SSA/ASS reader ignored the --sub-charset option
and always used the current charset to recode the subtitles.
2003-07-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Added support for attaching files to the output
file(s).
* mkvinfo: Support for the elements dealing with attachments
(KaxAttachments, KaxAttached, KaxFileDescription, KaxFileName,
KaxMimeType, KaxFileData).
2003-07-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Changed the RealVideo packaging method: Subpackets are
assembled into complete packets so the demuxer does not have to do
that anymore.
* mkvmerge: DisplayWidth and DisplayHeight, which form the display
aspect ratio, are now always written to ease changing them later
without having to completely remux the file.
2003-07-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Fixed some infinite-reading-from-a-file bug that
occured on Windows when reading SSA/ASS files.
* mkvmerge: Fixed a bug which would mostly appear with subtitles
that have very long ( > 60s) gaps between entries. Here the
cluster would not been rendered properly leaving mkvmerge either
comatose ( = endless loop) or just plain dead ( = crashing).
2003-07-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: Added support for the rest of the tags:
KaxTagMultiComment, KaxTagMultiCommentName,
KaxTagMultiCommentComments and KaxTagMultiCommentLanguage. Almost
all tags have been successfully tested.
2003-07-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* The matroska reader calculated wrong header lengths for Vorbis
tracks.
2003-05-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo reports the FourCC for video tracks with a
CodecID of V_MS/VFW/FOURCC and the format tag for audio tracks
