2015-02-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Appending chapters with the same chapter UID
was dropping all sub-chapters from the one of the two merged
chapters. Now the sub-chapters are merged recursively as well.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The wrong Codec ID was written when reading
PCM tracks from Matroska files in Big Endian byte order. Fixes
#1113.
2015-01-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: new feature: added a Serbian (Latin) translation of the
programs by Danko (see AUTHORS).
2015-01-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If splitting was active and AC3 tracks read
from Matroska files were shorter than a split point then the
following output file would contain an AC3 packet with the
timecode of 00:00:00 somewhere in the middle. Fixes #1104.
2015-01-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: If a chapter track from a Matroska file is
selected then the »language« drop-down box is disabled. Fixes
#1105.
2015-01-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: On Windows the end-of-file-reached status
wasn't tracked correctly for certain file operations. This
could manifest in e.g. mkvmerge not finding tracks in MPEG
transport streams when probing MPLS playlist files. Fixes #1100.
* mmg: bug fix: When scanning for play lists the window presenting
the results listed some properties in an unescaped way (e.g. »\s«
instead of spaces).
* mmg: bug fix: When adding MPLS files mmg was only offering to
scan for more playlists if there were at least two additional MPLS
files present. This has been fixed to one MPLS file (in addition
to the one just added).
2015-01-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v7.5.0.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If the target drive is full then a nicer
error message is output instead of simply crashing due to an
uncaught exception.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed reading MPEG transport streams in which
all PATs and/or PMTs have CRC errors. Fixes #1100.
2015-01-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: bug fix: Re-wrote the whole checksum calculation code. This
lead to a fix for the Adler32 checksum algorithm that was
triggered under certain circumstances. Adler32 is used in
mkvinfo's output (e.g. in summary mode or if checksums are
activated), in the h.265/HEVC bitstream and TrueAudio
(TTA) file headers.
2015-01-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: fixed handling of HE-AACv2 with object type
»parametric stereo«.
* mkvmerge: new feature: implemented support for MP4 DASH
files. Implements #1038.
2014-12-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: implemented reading MPEG-H p2/HEVC video
tracks from MP4 files. Implements #996.
2014-12-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: bug fix: track statistics: the duration (and therefore
the estimated bitrate) was wrong for files in which the frame with
the maximum timecode wasn't the last frame in the file. Fixes
#1092.
* mkvmerge: new feature: implemented support for AAC in LOAS/LATM
multiplex if read from MPEG transport streams or raw LOAS/LATM AAC
files. Implements #877 and fixes the underlying issue in #832.
2014-12-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* build system: libEBML and libMatroska have been changed to
provide pkg-config configuration files. Therefore MKVToolNix'
build system has been switched to look for both libraries via
pkg-config.
2014-12-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: bug fix: several fixes have gone into libEBML and
libMatroska that prevent illegal memory access (both reading from
and writing to unallocated addresses). The bugs #1089 and #1096
have thus been fixed.
2014-12-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* build system: libMatroska v1.4.2 is now required as part of a
fix for #1096.
2014-12-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* build system: libEBML v1.3.1 is now required as a part of a fix
for #1089.
* mkvinfo: bug fix: mkvinfo will abort with a proper error message
if the first element found is not an EBML head element. See #1089.
* all: enhancement: improved exception messages that can occur
when reading damaged Matroska files to make it clearer for the
user what's happening. See #1089.
2014-12-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for reading h.265/HEVC
video tracks from MPEG transport streams. Implements #995.
* mkvinfo: bug fix: Timecodes output with ms resolution are now
rounded to ms instead of simply cut off. Fixes #1093.
2014-12-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v7.4.0.
2014-12-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge was sometimes dropping lines from
teletext subtitles read from MPEG transport streams. See #773.
2014-12-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The PCM packetizer was producing wrong track
statistics by disregarding the last packet's duration when reading
PCM data from packaged sources (Matroska, MP4 files). Fixes #1075.
* build system: enhancement: configure will look for a system
version of the pugixml library and use that instead of the bundled
version if it is found. Fixes #1090.
* mkvextract: bug fix for chapter & tag extraction: If locale is
set to a non-UTF locale (including C or POSIX) then no XML data
was output at all even if the XML data contained ASCII characters
only. Fixes #1086. This also fixes mkvextract writing two BOMs
when extracting tags with the »--redirect-output« option on
Windows.
2014-11-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: bug fix: summary mode: reported frame types in block
groups are now derived from the number of references found and not
by the references' values.
2014-11-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed muxing open GOPs after I frames in
MPEG-1/2 video (patch by Stefan Pöschel). Fixes #1084.
2014-11-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: VP9 video tracks are accepted in WebM mode.
2014-11-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Cherry-picked several commits from DivX'
mkvmerge fork for improved HEVC handling. Fixes #1076.
* all: new feature: added a Catalan translation of
the programs by Antoni Bella Pérez (see AUTHORS).
2014-11-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the handling of Big Endian PCM tracks
read from MP4 files. Fixes #1078.
2014-10-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v7.3.0.
2014-10-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: implemented support for reading teletext
subtitles from MPEG transport streams. They're converted to
SRT-style subtitles (CodecID S_TEXT/UTF8). Implements #773.
2014-10-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: probing MPEG transport streams with certain
types of broken MPEG-2 inside caused mkvmerge to exit with an
error message. Such tracks are now ignored instead.
2014-09-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mmg's chapter editor: fixed the default value for the
»language« element if it isn't present in a chapter XML file.
2014-09-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* MKVToolNix GUI: implemented drag & drop in the files pane.
2014-09-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo (Qt version on Windows): bug fix: the console window is
closed if the GUI is launched.
2014-09-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Reading tracks from MPEG transport streams
resulted in the track being cut off at points with a five minute
gap in between frames. It is due to timecode wrap detection
introduced in v6.9.0. As it affects subtitles the most the wrap
detection has been relaxed for them.
2014-09-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* MKVToolNix GUI: implemented drag & drop in the track pane.
2014-09-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: added support for PCM in MPEG program
streams (.vob – DVDs) and transport streams (.ts, .m2ts –
Blu-rays). Implements #763.
2014-09-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* MKVToolNix GUI: fixed missing command line switch for audio
sync/stretch.
2014-09-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* MKVToolNix GUI: implemented drag & drop in the job queue.
2014-09-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* MKVToolNix GUI: implemented storing the job queue when the
application exits and retrieving it when it starts again.
* Installer: bug fix: the shortcut for the GUI preview on the
desktop is removed upon uninstallation. If the user opts not to
have shortcuts on the desktop then no shortcut is created for the
GUI preview either.
* MKVToolNix GUI: fixed clearing the file/track/attachment lists
when starting a new config or when loading an existing one.
* MKVToolNix GUI: implemented setting the output file name
automatically in four different modes (don't set at all; place in
previous output directory; place in fixed output directory; place
in parent directory of first source file) with an option to make
them unique by appending a running number.
* MKVToolNix GUI: implemented setting the file title automatically
from added files that already have a title.
2014-09-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v7.2.0.
* MKVToolNix GUI: included a first preview version in the Windows
installer and portable releases.
2014-09-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed calculating AC3 delay from garbage data
when reading AC3 from AVIs. This stopped working in release 5.4.0
due to commit 97cc2121.
2014-09-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: SSA/ASS files with sections after
"[Events]" in their CodecPrivate are now handled correctly. Fixes
#1057.
2014-09-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed handling certain edit list types in MP4
files that are used for positive track delays. Fixes #1059.
2014-08-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* source: Fixed compilation with Boost 1.56.0 which changed the
»indexed« range adaptor in an incompatible way.
* mkvpropedit, mmg's header editor: bug fix: when editing files
with missing track UID elements such an element will be generated
automatically instead of crashing and leaving the file in an
unplayable state. Part of a fix for #1050.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Reading Matroska files with missing track UID
elements will no longer cause mkvmerge to abort with an error. A
warning is printed and a new unique track ID generated
instead. Part of a fix for #1050.
2014-07-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v7.1.0.
* all: bug fix: Fixed file seeking code for »seek relative to end
of file« case. Fixes #1035.
* mmg: bug fix: Selecting the root of the chapter editor tree will
disable the language/country inputs properly as changing those
fields doesn't make sense for the root.
2014-07-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: bug fix: if MKVToolNix on Windows is residing in a
directory containing non-ASCII characters then translations
weren't found. This has only been fixed for cases where those
non-ASCII characters are part of the system's active code page.
2014-07-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: track statistics tags are not written for
WebM files anymore as the WebM specification doesn't allow tags.
2014-07-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed wrong default duration for PCM audio
tracks if the source file provides timecodes for that track. Fixes
#1001 and #1033.
2014-06-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: SSA/ASS: in addition to semicolons
comments can now start with exclamation marks, too.
2014-06-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: Fixed a crash when opening damaged/invalid
Matroska files in all extraction modes. Fixes #1027.
2014-06-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v7.0.0.
2014-05-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: In addition to the track statistics tags
»BPS«, »DURATION«, »NUMBER_OF_BYTES« and »NUMBER_OF_FRAMES«
mkvmerge will write two more tags identifying which application
wrote the statistics (»_STATISTICS_WRITING_APP«) and when the file
in question was written: »_STATISTICS_WRITING_DATE_UTC«.
»_STATISTICS_WRITING_APP« will always contain the same string
contained in the segment info header element »WritingApp«.
»_STATISTICS_WRITING_DATE_UTC« will contain the same timestamp as
in the segment info header element »Date«, though
»_STATISTICS_WRITING_DATE_UTC« is actually a string representation
instead of an integer value.
Additionally a tag named »_STATISTICS_TAGS« is written containing
the names of the tags that mkvmerge has set automatically. It
equals the following currently: »BPS DURATION NUMBER_OF_BYTES
NUMBER_OF_FRAMES«.
* build system: Boost's "date/time" library is now required.
2014-05-25 John Peebles <johnpeeb@gmail.com>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If a single subtitle track contains two or
more entries at the same timecode then the cue duration and cue
relative position elements written were wrong.
2014-05-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: bug fix: fixed wrong progress percentage shown during
saving the information to text files. Fixes #1016.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added a global option for disabling
writing the tags with statistics for each track:
--disable-track-specific-tags.
2014-05-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: When identifying a Matroska file in
verbose identification mode track-specific tags will be output as
well. The format is »tag_<tag name in lower case>:<tag value>»,
e.g. for a tag named »BPS« with the value »224000« the output
would be »tag_bps:224000«. Enhancement for #1021.
* mkvmerge: new feature: mkvmerge will write track-specific tags
with statistics (»BPS« for the average number of bits per second,
»DURATION« for the duration, »NUMBER_OF_BYTES« and
»NUMBER_OF_FRAMES« for the track's size in bytes and its number of
frames/packets). Implements #1021.
2014-05-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Changed the file type detection order
again. The text subtitle formats are now probed after those binary
formats that can be detected quickly and unambiguously. This
avoids some mis-detection if e.g. Matroska files as ASS text
subtitles if they do contain such a track.
* mmg: enhancement: The chapter editor will only use fast-mode
parsing when loading chapters from Matroska files.
2014-05-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: bug fix: fixed invalid memory access in the cleanup
procedures which only occurred if the output was redirected with
the »--redirect-output« command line parameter.
2014-05-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: The last chapter entry read from MPLS
files is removed if it is at most five seconds long. Patch by
Andrew Dvorak (see AUTHORS).
* mkvmerge: enhancement: added the attachment UID to the verbose
identification output of Matroska files.
2014-04-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Selecting a subtitle track correctly sets the
»character set« drop-down box if no character set was set for this
track. Fixes #1008.
* mmg: enhancement: the subtitle character set cannot be set
anymore for subtitle tracks read from Matroska files as mkvmerge
ignores that setting for said container anyway (text subs are
always encoded in UTF-8 in Matroska).
2014-04-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: mmg will look for the »mkvmerge« executable in
the same directory as the »mmg« executable is located it if the
location hasn't been set by the user on all operating systems
(before: only on Windows). Improves detection if »mkvmerge« is not
in the $PATH.
2014-04-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v6.9.1.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: fixed huge memory usage when probing files
(it was reading the whole file into memory for that).
* Released v6.9.0.
* all: new feature: added a Brazilian Portuguese translation of
the programs by Thiago Kühn (see AUTHORS).
* mkvpropedit, mmg's header editor: bug fix: fixed a failed
assertion in libEBML when writing the same changes twice to
certain files (those for which a seek head with a single entry
pointing to the elements modified by mkvpropedit/mmg's header
editor; e.g. x264 creates such files). Fixes #1007.
2014-03-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: reading fonts embedded in SSA/ASS files was
sometimes truncating the attachments created from them. Fixes
#1003.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: fixed display of very large IDs during
attachment extraction.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: improved file type detection speed for
text subtitle formats.
2014-03-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: during the extraction of chapters, tags or
segment info XML files with the --redirect-output parameter the
BOM (byte order mark) was written twice.
2014-03-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: MPEG TS: timestamp outliers are ignored if
they differ at least five minutes from the last valid
timestamp. Fixes #998.
* mkvmerge: enhancements: trailing zero bytes will be removed from
AVC/h.264 NALUs. Implements #997.
2014-03-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: fixed timestamp assignment for AVC/h.264
videos in which recovery point SEIs occur in front of the second
field of two interlaced fields.
2014-03-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v6.8.0.
2014-02-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvextract: new feature: added support for h.265/HEVC
by merging the patches from DivX/Rovi Corp. So far HEVC is only
supported as elementary streams and read from other Matroska
files.
2014-02-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: The deprecated ISO 639-1 code "iw" is now
recognized for Hebrew.
2014-02-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The AC3 packetizer will re-derive the
sampling frequency and the number of channels from the
bitstream. This way obviously invalid information from the source
container like a sampling frequency of 0 Hz will be fixed.
2014-02-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancements: AVI reader: audio chunks with obvious
wrong size information (bigger than 10 MB) will be skipped.
2014-02-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: When reading M2TS files belonging to an MPLS
playlist mkvmerge will now only copy packets whose timestamps lie
between the »in time« and »out time« restrictions from the
playlist's entry corresponding to that M2TS file. Fixes #985.
2014-01-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: Windows 64bit: fixed return value checks for opening
files. Fixes #972.
2014-01-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: Windows: when redirecting the program's output with cmd.exe
(e.g. »mkvinfo file.mkv > info.txt«) the programs will no longer
write two line feed characters (\r) per carriage return character
(\n). Fixes #970.
* all: Windows: the default charset for the files created with
»--redirect-output« has been changed from the system's local
charset to UTF-8. Just like before it can be changed with
»--output-charset«. See #970.
* all: bug fix: Windows: messages written to the console (cmd.exe)
are not re-encoded to the local charset and back to UTF-16 before
they're handed over to ConsoleWriteW(). This fixes outputting
Unicode characters to the console that are not part of the local
charset. Fixes #971.
2014-01-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* extract: bug fix: using names of non-existing files in
»attachments«, »chapters«, »cuesheet« or »tags« mode caused
mkvextract to crash instead of emitting a proper error
message. Fixes #964.
2014-01-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: fixed the check for WebM-compatible track types
for Opus.
2014-01-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: fixed muxing Sorenson v3 (SVQ3) video from
QuickTime files.
2014-01-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvextract, mkvpropedit: enhancement: attachments in
Matroska files with a missing FileUID element are not ignored
anymore even though they violate the specs. mkvmerge generates a
new FileUID instead.
2014-01-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: re-built with the 64bit build for Windows with a newer
compiler version in order to fix #957. It was due to a bug in gcc:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56742
* mmg: bug fix: mkvmerge's file identification is written to a
temporary file with --redirect-output and from there into mmg
instead of directly from mkvmerge. This prevents from character
re-coding done by wxWidgets 3.0.0 on Windows. Fixes #959.
2014-01-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* installer: enhancement: the architecture (32bit vs 64bit) is
mentioned in the interface.
* installer: bug fix: the installation directory for 64bit builds
will default to the proper directory (»C:\Program Files« instead
of »C:\Program Files (x86)«). Fixes #956.
2014-01-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v6.7.0.
* build system: Ruby 1.9.x is now required.
2014-01-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: enhancement: The architecture (32bit/64bit) is mentioned in
the version information of all programs.
2014-01-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* build system: bug fix for 64bit builds on Windows
(x86_64-w64-mingw32): use the correct processor architecture via
separate Windows manifest files. Fixes mmg and mkvinfo not
starting due to »error 0x0000007b«.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a potential endless loop due to an
integer overflow in the code removing AVC/h.264 filler NALUs.
2014-01-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed reading uncompressed PCM audio tracks
from QuickTime/MP4 files in certain situations. Fixes #950.
* mmg: enhancement: Made the »scanned files« list box sortable by
all columns. Fixes #954.
2013-12-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: The »additional parts« dialog will now show
the files that make up an MPLS playlist. This is for informational
purposes only and doesn't allow changing the playlist itself.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Reading from an MPLS playlist file is now
done as if the second and following files referenced in that
playlist had been appended to the first file from that
playlist. Before they were treated as if they were additional
parts. Fixes #934.
* mmg: enhancement: a couple of fixes to tooltips: 1. Content
correction for »splitting by chapters«; 2. no ugly re-formatting
with wxWidgets 3.0.0 on Windows.
2013-12-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Improved the AAC, AC3 and MP3 header decoding
error handling so that the corresponding parsing routines won't
get stuck in endless loops when encountering certain garbage data
patterns.
2013-12-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: unified codec names output by mkvmerge's
identification mode for all file format readers.
* mkvinfo: bug fix: when setting the language with --ui-language
a few strings were still translated using the system's default
language.
* mkvextract: bug fix: if the track headers were located at the
end of the file (e.g. after modification with mkvpropedit or mmg's
header editor) then mkvextract was writing files with a length 0
bytes.
* mmg: bug fix: the »playlist items« list box in the »select
playlist file to add« dialog was showing the items in reversed
order. Fixes #952.
2013-12-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: the »select playlist file to add« dialog can now
be resized, minimized and maximized. It also remembers its
position and size during runs. Fixes #951.
2013-12-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: The user can select the default subtitle
character set to use for newly added subtitle tracks in the
preferences dialog as requested in bug #948.
2013-12-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: fixed the tooltip for the subtitle character set
drop-down box to match mkvmerge's actual behavior. Fixes #948.
2013-12-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: implemented reading DTS audio tracks from
MP4 files (with ESDS object type ID == 0xA9 (decimal 169) or
FourCC == 'DTS ' or 'dtsc').
2013-12-18 Ralph Giles <giles@mozilla.com>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: allowed muxing Opus to WebM files.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the mapping of the Opus element »seek
pre-roll« and »pre-skip« to the Matroska elements »track seek
pre-roll« and »codec delay«. Remuxing Matroska files with Opus
created with earlier versions of MKVToolNix is enough to fix such
a file.
2013-12-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: fixing the bitstream timing information of
h.264/AVC writes clean values for 25000/1001 frames per second
video (e.g. de-telecined PAL @ 29.97).
2013-12-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: fixed a crash in during drag & drop operations in
mmg's chapter editor.
2013-12-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v6.6.0.
* mmg: new feature: implemented drag & drop in the chapter
editor. Implements #929.
2013-11-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: fixed an assertion in wxLogMessage() due to wrong
format string/argument data types caused by changes in wxWidgets
3.0.0. See Debian bug #730273.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: improved resilience against MP4 files with
obviously wrong entries in the 'sample size table' (STSZ) atom.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: improved VC1 frame type detection so that it
works even for streams without entry points.
2013-11-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: bug fix: at most the lower 32bits of the track numbers
and track UIDs elements were output, even if the element in the
file used more bits. Fixes #935.
2013-11-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: fixed accessing invalid memory in the memory
handling core routines. May be triggered by the code to remove
filler NALUs introduced in v6.5.0. Fixes #931.
2013-10-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: fixed the tracks list box on the input tab being
invisible/0 pixels high with wxWidgets 2.9.x/3.x.
* all: integrated the Portuguese translation. Although the
translation files themselves had been added back in 6.3.0 that
translation wasn't available for selection due to forgetfulness on
my part.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The file detection code in the MPEG
elementary stream reader had a logic error. Fixes #928. In
practice this logic error didn't have any consequence.
2013-10-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v6.5.0.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: filler NALUs will now be removed from
framed h.264/AVC tracks (such as the ones read from Matroska/MP4
files) just like they have already been when handling unframed
tracks.
* mkvextract: new feature: implemented support for extracting VP9
tracks into IVF files.
* mkvmerge: new feature: implemented support for VP9 read from IVF
and Matroska/WebM files. Implements #899.
* mkvextract: enhancement: using the same track/attachment ID
multiple times in "tracks", "attachments" or "timecodes_v2" mode
will result in an error message instead of one empty
file. Implements #914.
* mmg: bug fix: With wxWidgets 2.9.x/3.0.x debug message will no
longer appear as modal dialogs but only go to the log window.
2013-10-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: fixed a crash when reading empty global tag
files. Fixes #921.
2013-10-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* build system: bug fix: fix autodetection of Boost's library path
if it is installed in the multiarch directories
(e.g. /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu or /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu).
2013-10-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: saved window widths were growing by 1 pixel each
time mmg was exited.
2013-10-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* documentation: Added a German translation of the man pages by
Chris Leick (see AUTHORS).
2013-10-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Reading OGM files with chapter entries not
encoded in the system's local character set has been fixed. During
identification the number of chapter entries is still output by
removing any non-ASCII characters from the chapter entries. When
muxing an additional warning is output if parsing those chapter
entries fails, e.g. due to the format being wrong or due to the
charset guessed wrongly. Fixes #919.
2013-09-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The "duration" element was calculated wrong
if the first element in the file wasn't the one with the smallest
timestamp. To be precise, it was too short by the difference
between the first timestamp and the smallest one (e.g with video
sequences timestamped 80ms, 0ms, 40ms, 120ms... the duration was
80ms too short).
2013-09-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v6.4.1.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: fixed packet ordering regression introduced
in 6.4.0 if --default-duration is used for a track.
2013-09-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v6.4.0.
* mkvextract: new feature: Implemented extraction of Opus tracks
into OggOpus files.
2013-09-14 Monty Montgomery <xiphmont@gmail.com>
* mkvinfo: bug fix: The track information summary enabled with
-t/--track-info counted bytes in SimpleBlocks twice.
2013-07-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: CueRelativePosition was wrong for
BlockGroups: it pointed to the Block inside the group instead of
the BlockGroup itself. CueRelativePosition elements for
SimpleBlock elements are not affected. Fixes #903.
2013-07-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Implemented final Opus muxing.
2013-07-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The "jobs" folder will be created in the same
mmg.exe is located in for the portable version. The installed
version will still keep the folder where has already been
(%APP_DATA%\mkvtoolnix\jobs).
* mmg: bug fix: Closing mmg's window while it was minimized caused
mmg to appear hidden and unmovable when started the next time.
2013-07-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed overly long startup time with wxWidgets
2.9.x (especially on Windows) by using alternative methods for
initializing certain controls. Makes startup time on par with
wxWidgets 2.8. See #893.
2013-07-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: new feature: Added support for the new Matroska
elements DiscardPadding, CodecDelay and SeekPreRoll.
* build system: libMatroska 1.4.1 is now required for building.
2013-06-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v6.3.0.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: When appending unframed AVC/h.264 tracks and
setting the default duration the second and all following source
parts will use the same default duration as set for the first
part. Fixes #889.
* all: enhancement (Windows only): mmg will store its settings in
a file "mkvtoolnix.ini" in the same folder mmg.exe is located in
if MKVToolNix hasn't been installed via its installer. If it has
been installed then the settings are stored in the Windows
registry. This way MKVToolNix is truly portable.
* mmg: new feature: mmg's windows and dialogs will remember and
restore their positions and sizes. Implements #878.
2013-06-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: AVC/h.264 output module: fixed writing the
wrong values if --fix-bitstream-timing-information is used. Fixes
#888.
2013-06-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: FLV reader: Implemented deriving the video
dimensions for FLV1 type tracks from the frame content if they're
not given within a script tag. Fixes #880.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed handling MPEG transport streams with
broken PES packet streams. Fixes #879 and #887.
* mkvextract: bug fix: mkvextract writes the correct value for the
"block alignment" value in the header of WAV files (mostly affects
mono PCM audio tracks). Fixes #883.
2013-05-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: new feature: added a Portuguese translation of the programs
by Ricardo Perdigão (see AUTHORS).
2013-04-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v6.2.0.
2013-04-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The option "--engage
remove_bitstream_ar_info" will now work on AVC/h.264 tracks read
from Matroska/MP4 files as well. Fixes #868.
2013-04-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: mmg will now handle all file names given on the
command line instead of only the first one. This allows things
like opening several selected files with mmg in Windows, and mmg
will add all of them. Fixes #867.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The amount of memory required to store the
cues during muxing has been reduced drastically. This is more
noticeable the more video and subtitle tracks are muxed. Fixes
#871.
2013-04-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If splitting had been active then the
elements "cue duration" and "cue relative position" were only
written to the first output file.
2013-04-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The "CTS offset" field of FLV files with
AVC/h.264 video tracks is now read as a signed-integer field in
accordance with the FLV specifications.
2013-04-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: DTS parsing: no more warnings about
incompatible encoder revision numbers will be printed. Fixes
#866.
* mkvextract: enhancement: track extraction mode: If mkvextract
encounters a broken file structure it will output the last
timecode successfully read before resyncing. After the resync the
first cluster timecode will be reported as well.
* installer: The installation directory will no longer be added to
the PATH environment variable.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The parsing of the AAC AudioSpecificConfig
structure (the bytes contained in Matroska's CodecPrivate and in
MP4's "ESDS" atom) was fixed to support parsing the
GASpecificConfig and the ProgramConfigElement if the channel
configuration is 0. Fixes #872.
2013-04-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Loading chapters from Matroska files will open the
file in read-only mode allowing to read from write-protected
files.
2013-04-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: All entries in chapters imported from MPLS
playlists were named "Chapter 0". The numbering has been
fixed. Fixes #870.
2013-04-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Selecting the lowest process priority
with "--priority lowest" will cause mkvmerge to also select an
idle/background I/O priority. Implements #863.
2013-03-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed reading AVI files with audio chunks of
size 0. Fixes #843.
2013-03-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Add control for new option
"--fix-bitstream-timing-information".
2013-03-20 Giuseppe De Robertis <giuseppe.derobertis@ba.infn.it>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Add option for fixing the timing
information in video track bitstreams
(--fix-bitstream-timing-information).
2013-03-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Matroska reader: If mkvmerge encounters a
broken file structure it will output the last timecode
successfully read before resyncing. After the resync the first
cluster timecode will be reported as well.
2013-03-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: MPEG program stream reader: tracks with
invalid video properties (e.g. width or height = 0) are ignored
properly.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The progress percentage was sometimes using
the wrong input file as the reference if multiple files are read
with the "additional parts" mechanism (on the command line: the
syntax "( VTS_01_1.VOB VTS_1_2.VOB VTS_1_3.VOB )".
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed one situation that could lead to
mkvmerge aborting with the error message "Re-rendering track
headers: data_size != 0 not implemented yet".
2013-03-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: removal: Support for BZ2 (bzlib) and LZO (lzo1x)
compression has been removed.
* mmg: bug fix: Using drag & drop to add playlists will no longer
lock the dragging application (e.g. Windows Explorer) in D&D mode
for the duration of the scan for other playlists.
* mmg: bug fix: The validation for the argument to "split by
chapters" was wrongfully rejecting certain valid inputs (chapter
number lists in which the second or any later chapter number was
higher than 9).
* all: enhancement on Windows: all programs now determine the
interface language to use from the user's selected interface
language (C function "GetUserDefaultUILanguage()"), not from the
locale setting. Implements #852.
2013-03-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v6.1.0.
2013-02-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed mkvmerge sometimes mistakenly detecting
MPEG-1 video in MPEG program streams as AVC/h.264. Fixes #845.
* mmg: new feature: When a playlist file (e.g. MPLS Blu-ray
playlist) is added mmg can optionally scan all the other files in
the directory that have the same extension and present the user
with the results (including them playback time, total size, number
of chapters, number and types of tracks). The user can then select
the actual playlist file to add. The user can configure the
minimum playlist duration in order to filter out too short ones.
2013-02-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added an option for disabling making the
suggested output file name unique by adding a running number
(e.g. ' (1)'). Implements #848.
* mmg: new feature: The output file name can be auto-set to be
located in the first input file's parent directory. Implements
#849.
2013-02-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo, mkvpropedit, mmg's header editor: bug fix: Fixed the
description for the DisplayUnit element to include value 3
("aspect ratio").

* documentation: Added a Dutch translation of mmg's guide by
René Maassen (see AUTHORS).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed handling chapters when splitting by
parts (both parts/timecodes and parts/frames). Fixes #831.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed reading certain MP4 atoms with invalid
length fields.
2013-02-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix in common AAC code: Fixed wrong calculation of
AAC packet size for malformed packets resulting in "safemalloc()"
failing to allocate memory. Part of a fix for #832.
2013-02-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Implemented support for reading MPLS
BluRay playlist files. All M2TS files referenced from an MPLS file
are processed. Chapter entries from that MPLS file are used as
well. Implements #765.
2013-01-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Selecting one of the pre-defined values from the
"split by X" argument drop down box (e.g. "700M") was not leaving
the selected entry in the drop down box but set it to empty
instead.
2013-01-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed reading VP6 video from FlashVideo
files. Fixes #836.
2013-01-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

frame/field numbers ("--split parts-frames:" in
mkvmerge). Implements #819.
2013-01-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Re-writing the track headers after they'd
grown a lot (to more than the EBML void size located after them
allowed for) led to an integer underflow. Then mkvmerge tried to
write a void element the size of that integer (e.g. nearly 4 GB on
32bit platforms). Fixes #822 and #828.
2013-01-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix in the MP4 reader: Fixed language code
conversion from what is used in MP4 to the ISO 639-2 codes used in
Matroska (e.g. convert from "deu" to "ger").
* Source distribution: source code archives (tarballs) will be
compressed with xz instead of bzip2 from now on. The file name's
extension will therefore change from ".tar.bz2" to ".tar.xz". The
download URL changes accordingly.
2013-01-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Implemented reading VobSubs from MP4
files if they're stored in the Nero Digital way (track sub-type
'mp4s', ESDS object type identifier 0xe0). Implements #821 and the
second half of #815.
2013-01-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Command line options can be saved as default
for new jobs by clicking a check box in the "add command line
options" dialog.
2013-01-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed a crash in the chapter editor if the root
was selected and the user used the "Set values" button.
2013-01-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mmg: removal: The 'header removal compression' method
is not turned on by default anymore. This affects the following
track types: AC3, AVC/h.264, Dirac, DTS, MP3. The setting in mmg
that turned it off by default has been removed.
2012-12-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added experimental support for the Opus
audio codec. Parts of an implementation of #779.
2012-12-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: "text"-type tracks in MP4 files are only
treated as chapters if their track ID is listed on a "chap" atom
inside a "tref" track reference atom. Fixes #815.
2012-12-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mmg: new feature: Implemented splitting by chapter
numbers. Implements #504 and #814.
2012-12-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Removed several warnings from the MPEG-2

info" element if it is located behind the clusters.
2012-12-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: MP3 parser code: Fixed skipping ID3 tags so
that the header directly behind the ID3 tag is recognized
properly. Fixes #747.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: MP4 reader: Fixed handling of edit lists if
the edit list is used to adjust the track's timecodes by a fixed
amount (either positive or negative). Fixes #780.
2012-12-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvpropedit: bug fix: Giving a non-existent file name in tags
mode will result in a proper error message. Fixes #806.

* mkvmerge, mmg: enhancement: Added options for turning off
writing "CueDuration" elements ("--engage no_cue_duration") and
"CueRelativePosition" elements ("--engage
no_cue_relative_positions").
* mkvmerge: new feature: The element "CueRelativePosition" is
written for all cue entries.

around/overflow are handled correctly. Fixes #777.
2012-08-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: MP2/MP3 audio tracks in MPEG program streams
that contained garbage at the start of the very first packet
caused mkvmerge to use uninitialized/random values for certain
parameters (sample rate, number of channels, and therefore also
during timecode calculation).
2012-08-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for reading ALAC (Apple
Lossless Audio Codec) from CAF (CoreAudio), MP4 and Matroska
files. Implements #753.
2012-08-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: mkvmerge will remove stuffing bytes from
MPEG-1/-2 video streams that are used to keep the bit rate above
certain levels (the 0 bytes between slices and the following start
code). Implements #734.
2012-08-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed audio/video synchronisation when
reading MPEG program streams with MPEG-1/2 video with respect to B
frames. Fixes #579.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: SRT files can have spaces in their
timecode line's arrow (e.g. "-- >").
2012-07-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: VC1: mkvmerge will now only mark frames as I
frames if a sequence header precedes them directly. Fixes #755.
2012-07-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: new feature: Added a Basque translation by Xabier Aramendi
(see AUTHORS).
2012-07-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: bug fix: The programs do not try to create directories with
empty names anymore. This happened if the output file name for
e.g. mkvmerge or mkvextract was only a file name without a
directory component. With Boost v1.50.0 the call to
"boost::filesystem::create_directory()" would result in an error
if the name was empty (it didn't in earlier versions of Boost).
2012-07-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed mmg not reading the very last line of
mkvmerge's output. The result was that messages like "the cues are
being written" did not show up in mmg and that the progress bar
was not filled completely. Fixes #774.
2012-07-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v5.7.0.
* mmg: bug fix: mmg will no longer print false warnings about a
chapter UID not being unique. Fixes #760.
* mkvmerge, mkvpropedit, mmg: bug fix: All tools can now deal with
64bit UID values (chapter UIDs, edition UIDs etc).
* mkvmerge: new feature: If "splitting by parts" is active and the
last split part has a finite end point then mkvmerge will finish
muxing after the last part has been completed. Implements #768.
2012-06-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The DTS and TrueHD packetizers were not
flushed correctly. In some rare circumstances this could lead to
mkvmerge aborting with an error message about the packet queue not
being empty at the end of the muxing process. Fixes #772.
2012-06-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg, mkvinfo's GUI, all .exes: enhancement: Added new icons by
Ben Humpert based on the ones by Eduard Geier (see AUTHORS).
2012-06-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed handling of tracks in QuickTime/MP4
files with a constant sample size. This fixes the other reason for
the "constant sample size and variable duration not supported"
error. Fixes issue 764.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Tracks in QuickTime/MP4 files with empty
chunk offset tables (STCO and CO64 atoms) are ignored. This fixes
one of the reasons for the "constant sample size and variable
duration not supported" error.
2012-06-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed mmg's excessive CPU usage during muxing.
2012-06-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Reading DTS from AVI files often resulted in
the error message that DTS headers could not be found in the first
frames. This has been fixed. Fixes issue 759.
2012-05-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Documentation: Updated the cross-compilation guide and fixed the
"setup_cross_compilation_env.sh" script.
2012-05-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v5.6.0.
* documentation: Added Spanish translation of mmg's guide by
Israel Lucas Torrijos (see AUTHORS).
2012-05-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: SRT subtitle entries with colons as the
decimal separator are accepted. Fix for issue 754.
2012-05-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: XML tag files with <Simple> tags that only
contained a name and nested <Simple> were wrongfully rejected as
invalid. Fixes issue 752.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: mkvmerge was optimized to keep cluster
time codes strictly increasing in most situations.
2012-04-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: Added a translation to Polish by Daniel (see AUTHORS).
2012-04-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: Extraction of AVC/h.264 was completely
broken after 2012-04-09 resulting in files with a length of 0
bytes.
2012-04-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: When adding a Matroska file that has either
the "previous segment UID" or the "next segment UID" set then mmg
will copy those two and the source file's segment UID into the
corresponding controls on the "global" tab if they haven't been
set before. Implements ticket 733.
* mkvmerge: new feature: The verbose identification mode for
Matroska files will now includes the "segment UID", the "next
segment UID" and "previous segment UID" elements.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: In "--split parts:" mode mkvmerge will
use the output file name as it is instead of adding a running
number to it if all the ranges to be kept are to be written into a
single output file. Implements ticket 743.
* mkvextract: bug fix: mkvextract will no longer abort extracting
h.264 tracks if it encounters a NAL smaller than its size
field. Instead it will warn about it and drop the NAL.
2012-04-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Writing more than two parts into the same
file with "--split parts:" resulted in the time codes of the third
and all following parts to be wrong. Fixes ticket 740.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The "--split parts:" functionality was
not taking dropped ranges into account when calculating the
segment duration for files that more than one range was written
to. Fixes ticket 738.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The "--split parts:" functionality was
producing a small gap between the first part's last packet's
time code and the second part's first packet's time code if two
parts are written to the same file. Fixes ticket 742.
2012-04-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The "--split parts:" functionality was
writing a superfluous and empty first part if the first range
starts at 00:00:00. Fixes ticket 737.
2012-04-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg, build system: Fixed building with wxWidgets 2.9.3.
2012-04-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v5.5.0.
* Build system: Boost's "lexical_cast" and "type traits" libraries
are now required.
* mmg: new feature: Added GUI controls for mkvmerge's "file
concatenation" feature as "additional file parts". The user can
chose which individual files are treated as if they were a single
huge source file.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The handling of the "do not read other files"
options (e.g. "=file.vob" and "( file.vob )") was broken for MPEG
program stream files.
2012-04-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a wrong assertion about minimum MPEG
1/2 video start code lengths. Fixes ticket 728.
2012-03-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mmg: new feature: Added support for keeping only
certain time code ranges from the source files with a new format to
"--split": "--split parts:...". Implements ticket #518.
2012-03-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added an option in the preferences dialog
called "clear jobs from the job queue after they've been run". Can
be set to "only if run was successful", "even if there were
warnings" and "even if there were errors". Defaults to off.
2012-03-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvextract, mmg: Re-write of the whole XML handling
code. It now uses the "pugixml" C++ library instead of the "expat"
library. Therefore "expat" is not required for building MKVToolNix
anymore. And neither is Boost's "property tree" library. "pugixml"
itself is included and not an external requirement either.
* Build system: removed all files and documentation related to
building MKVToolNix with Microsoft's Visual Studio because even
the most recent version of Visual C++ does not support the C++11
features required for MKVToolNix.
* mkvmerge, mkvextract: removal: Removed support for the
CorePicture file format. It was mostly unused and relied on old
code that will be removed soon.
* documentation: enhancement: mkvmerge's man page has been updated
with a list of valid XML tags for the chapters, tags and segment
info XML file formats.
* all: Updated the DTD files with the newly supported elements.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Chapter XML files: mkvmerge can handle
the "ChapterSegmentEditionUID" element.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Segment info XML files: mkvmerge can
handle the "SegmentFilename", "PreviousSegmentFilename" and
"NextSegmentFilename" elements.
2012-03-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: Added "mts" as yet another file extension for
MPEG transport streams.
2012-03-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed a crash due to a missing argument for a
format string when clicking on the "Browse" button for the
track-specific tags.
2012-03-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg, mkvinfo's GUI, all .exes: enhancement: Added new icons
by Eduard Geier. (see AUTHORS).
2012-03-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: mkvextract sometimes wrote undefined values
to a single reserved header field when extracting into AVI
files. Patch by buguser128k. Fix for ticket 727.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: AVC/h.264 mkvmerge was wrongfully writing a
default duration of 60 frames/fields even if the source was
signalling 60000/1001 frames/fields. The frame time codes have been
correct already.
2012-03-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed time code calculation for (E)AC3 tracks
if the source container (e.g. MPEG transport streams) only
provided time codes for some of the (E)AC3 packets itself.
2012-03-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v5.4.0.
2012-03-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed wrong calculation of the maximum number
of ns per cluster in certain fringe cases if time code scale was
set to "auto" mode ("--time code-scale -1"). Fix for bug 707.
2012-03-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* build system: The C++ compiler must now support the C++11
keyword 'nullptr'. configure checks for it. For GCC this means at
least v4.6.0.
* mkvinfo: new feature: mkvinfo will output the track ID that
mkvmerge and mkvextract would use for a track. This information is
shown alongside the "track number" element in verbose mode and in
the track summary in summary mode.
* mkvmerge, mmg: enhancement: The "--default-duration" in mkvmerge
and the "FPS" drop down box in mmg now accept "p" or "i" as a unit
-- as in e.g. "25p" or "50i". Several commonly used values have
been added to mmg's "FPS" drop down box and others removed.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: When using an external time code file with
AVC/h.264 video the default duration will be set to the most-often
used duration in the time code file.
* mmg: enhancement: Added the values "50", "60" and "48000/1001"
to the list of commonly used values for the "FPS" input field.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: AVC/h.264 packetizer: The value given with
"--default-duration" (after internal conversion from the unit
given by the user to duration in nanoseconds) is now again
interpreted as the duration of a frame and not of a field.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: SRT subtitles: time codes can contain the
minus sign before any digit, not just before the first one.
2012-03-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Sometimes non-AC3 files were mistakenly for
AC3 after the re-write of the AC3 handling code on
2012-02-26. This has been rectified. Fix for bug 723.
2012-03-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: mkvmerge will keep the "enabled" track
header flag when muxing. mkvmerge will also output its value in
verbose identification mode as "enabled_track".
* mkvmerge: enhancement: MicroDVD text subtitles are recognized as
an unsupported format instead of an unknown format.
* mmg: The warning that no default duration/FPS has been given for
AVC/h.264 tracks has been removed.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Complete re-write of the time code handling
code for AVC/h.264 tracks. Now handles several cases correctly:
interlaced video, video with multiple or changing SPS with
different timing information. The timing information is extracted
from the bitstream. Therefore the user doesn't have to specify the
default duration/FPS himself anymore. Fix for bugs 434 and 688.
2012-02-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* build system: Boost's "rational" library is now required.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Complete re-write of the (E)AC3 parsing and
handling code. Dependent EAC3 frames are now handled
correctly. Fix for bug 704.
2012-02-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The width and height of h.264 video tracks
with a pixel format other than 4:2:0 are now calculated
correctly. Fix for bug 649. Patch by Nicholai Main (see AUTHORS).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed file type recognition and frame drops
for VC1 elementary streams that do not start with a sequence
header but with frame or field packets instead.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed mis-detection as unsupported DV files
(happened for e.g. PGS subtitle files).
2012-02-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* doc: enhancement: Updates for option file usage and supported
subtitle formats.
2012-02-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v5.3.0.
2012-02-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: mkvmerge will parse and apply the audio
encoder delay in MP4 files that contain said information in the
format that iTunes writes it. Fix for bug 715.
2012-02-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Implemented support for treating several
input files as if they they had been concatenated binarily into a
single big input file. Snytax is "mkvmerge -o out.mkv ( in1.ts
in2.ts in3.ts )". This feature has already been present since
version 5.1.0 but never been mentioned in the ChangeLog. Support
for this feature in mmg is still missing.
2012-01-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Blocks with "BlockAdditions" will no longer
be muxed as "SimpleBlock" elements discarding the additions but
instead as "BlockGroup" elements. This applies to e.g. WAVPACK4
tracks with correction files as the correction data is stored in
"BlockAdditions". Fix for bug 713.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed some more issues with (E)AC3 being
misdtected as AVC elementary streams.
2012-01-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The header editor was sometimes creating two
instances of an element if an element was added to the second or
one of the later tracks. Fix for bug 711.
* mkvpropedit, mmg: bug fix: Trying to modify a file located in a
path mounted with GVFS SFTP will no longer crash the
programs. Instead an error message is output if an error
occurs. Fix for bug 710.
2012-01-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed integer underflows in the read caching
code resulting in invalid memory access. Happened in broken or
incomplete files only. Fix for bug 709.
2012-01-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Appending AVI, Matroska or MPEG program
stream files with DTS audio tracks will not result in a warning
that the appended DTS tracks might not be compatible. Fix for bug
705.
2012-01-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix for the "time codes_v2" mode: mkvextract will
write one more time code than there are frames in the file. The
last time code written will be the the sum of the last frame's
time code and duration with the "last frame" being the one with the
highest time code. Fix for bug 691.
2012-01-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed writing into paths on which a drive is
mounted on Windows. Fix for bug 701.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Identification output for Matroska files:
Added the track number header field as "number" to the verbose
identification mode.
2012-01-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Identification output for Matroska files:
Added a field "content_encoding_algorithms" that contains a
comma-separated list of encoding algorithm IDs used for that
track. For example, "content_encoding_algorithms:3" would indicate
that header removal compression is used.
2012-01-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Identification output for Matroska files:
Added several fields to mkvmerge's verbose identification mode for
tracks: UID, CodecID, length and content (as a hex dump) of the
codec private data.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a segmentation fault in the DTS
detection code. Fix for bug 698.
2012-01-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: The track IDs used in the "time codes_v2"
extraction mode are consistent again with the IDs that mkvmerge's
identification reports and that mkvextract's "tracks" extraction
mode uses. Fix for bugs 689 and 694.
2012-01-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Added video pixel dimensions to the
output of "--identify-verbose" for Matroska files.
2012-01-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v5.2.1.
2011-12-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed certain DTS files being mis-detected as
AC3. Fix for bug 693.
2011-12-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* build system: Added an option "--without-gettext" that allows
for building without support for translations even if gettext
itself is installed.
* build system: Added an option "--without-curl" that allows for
building without CURL support even if CURL itself is installed.
* all: bug fix: Fixed compilation if gettext/libintl is not
available.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The MPEG program stream reader was reporting
wrong progress percentage if multiple files were used since
v5.1.0.
2011-12-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Removed the posix_fadvise() code. The
application is using its own caching code which caused bad
performance if the OS caching provided via posix_fadvise() is used
as well.
2011-12-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If an MP4 file contains chapters encoded in a
different charset than UTF-8 and --chapter-charset is not used
then the error message shown is a lot clearer why mkvmerge aborts
muxing. Before the error message was a generic
"mm_text_io_c::read_next_char(): invalid UTF-8 character. The
first byte:..."
* mkvmerge: bug fix: MPEG program streams in which a track
suddenly ends and others continue or in which a track has huge
gaps will no longer cause mkvmerge to try to read the whole file
at once. This could lead to excessive swapping and finally
mkvmerge crashing if no more memory was available.
2011-12-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: The track IDs used for extraction are
consistent again with the IDs that mkvmerge's identification
reports. Fix for bug 689.
2011-12-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fix compilation if FLAC is not available. Fix
for issue #13.
2011-12-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v5.2.0.
* mkvmerge, mmg: bug fix: Automatic MIME type recognition for
TrueType fonts will result in "application/x-truetype-font" again
instead of "application/x-font-ttf". Fix for bug 682.
2011-12-14 Andriy Bilous'ko <arestarh@ukr.net>
* documentation: enhancement: Added a Ukrainian translation for
mkvextract's man page.
2011-12-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: bug fix: Various elements used to have a space between
their names and their value's hex dump. In v5.1.0 that space was
accentally removed. It has been added again. Fix for bug 583.
2011-12-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Turn off input file buffering for badly
interleaved MP4 files.
2011-12-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Changed how mkvmerge assigns IDs to tracks in
source files for Matroska and MP4 files. That way files whose
headers contain the same ID for multiple tracks will work
correctly. Fix for bug 681.
2011-12-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: The VP8 output module will always
re-derive frame types (key frame vs. non-key frame).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: VP8 read from AVI could not be put into WebM
compatible files.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a rare audio type mis-detection of
MP2/MP3 audio tracks in MPEG program streams causing mkvmerge to
abort with an error message.
2011-12-04 Nils Maier <maierman@web.de>
* mkvmerge, mkvextract: enhancement: Implemented input file
buffering in mkvmerge and improved/implemented output file
buffering in other tools.
2011-12-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg, mkvinfo's GUI: enhancement: Added new icons based on the
work of Alexandr Grigorcea (see AUTHORS).
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed a memory leak in mmg's header editor that
caused the "open file" function to stop working after opening a
few files. Fix for bug 679.
2011-11-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v5.1.0.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed more time code handling issues for video
tracks in MPEG transport streams whose PES packets sometimes don't
have a time code.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge will no longer create folders on
drives it shouldn't create them on on Windows.
2011-11-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed bogus huge time codes sometimes
occurring for AVC/h.264 video tracks read from MPEG transport
streams.
2011-11-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: enhancement: Made all EXEs declare their required access
level privileges for Windows' User Access Control.
* mmg: enhancement: Made mmg DPI-aware on Windows (tested up to
144 DPI).
2011-11-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: mmg will append ".xml" to the file name entered
when saving from the chapter editor if no extension was given.
2011-11-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: bug fix: Improved skipping broken data on all operating
systems.
* mkvmerge, mkvextract: bug fix: Skipping broken data in Matroska
file often caused the program to abort on Windows. This has been
fixed so that processing continues after the broken part. Fix for
bug 668.
2011-11-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* examples: Added XSLT 2.0 stylesheets in the
"examples/stylesheets" directory for turning Matroska chapters
into cue sheet and split points for "shntool" (useful for
situations in which you have e.g. a live recording from a concert
including chapters and want to create one audio file per song).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed reading VC1 video tracks from Matroska
files that don't use VC1 start markers (0x00 0x00 0x01 ...).
2011-10-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: Added "ogv" to the list of known file
extensions for "Ogg/OGM audio/video files". Implements bug 667.
* mmg: bug fix: A utility function for breaking a line into
multiple ones was accessing invalid memory in rare situations
causing mmg to crash. Could happen e.g. when adding a job to the
job queue.
2011-10-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge will use DTS instead of PTS for VC1
video tracks read from MPEG transport streams.
2011-10-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* build system: Boost's "Range" library is now required.
* build system: Boost v1.46.0 or newer is now required. As a
consequence included copies of some of Boost's libraries have been
removed (foreach, property tree).
* build system: The C++ compiler must now support several features
of the C++11 standard: initializer lists, range-based 'for' loops,
right angle brackets, the 'auto' keyword and lambda
functions. configure checks for each of these. For GCC this means
at least v4.6.0.
2011-10-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed reading MPEG transport streams on big
endian systems.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Added support for reading AAC tracks from
MPEG transport streams.
2011-10-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Relaxed the compatibility checks when
concatenating VP8 video tracks.
2011-10-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed PCM audio in WAV sometimes being
detected as DTS.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: The verbose identification mode will add
the properties "default_duration", "audio_sampling_frequency" and
"audio_channels" if appropriate and if the corresponding header
elements are present.
2011-10-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Packaging: In v5.0.1 mmg's guide was accidentally moved into the
"mkvtoolnix" Debian/Ubuntu package. It has been moved back into
"mkvtoolnix-gui" again.
2011-10-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: "Castilan" has been merged with "Spanish"
into "Spanish; Castillan" in the ISO 639 language list as both
share the same ISO 639-2 code "spa".
2011-10-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v5.0.1.
2011-10-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* build system: Updated the Debian/Ubuntu files to debhelper
v7/quilt 3.0 format.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Implemented support for yet another way
of storing EAC3 and DTS in MPEG transport streams.
2011-10-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: bug fix: Track information was not reset when opening
more than one file in the GUI.
2011-10-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The PGS subtitle output module was not
outputting any packet in certain cases due to uninitialized
variables.
2011-09-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed mkvmerge not finding any track in TS
streams whose first PMT packet could not be parsed (e.g. invalid
CRC).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed detection of TS streams that only
contain one PAT or PMT packet within the first few KB but no
others within the first 10 MB.
2011-09-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v5.0.0.
* build system: libEBML 1.2.2 and libMatroska 1.3.0 are required
for building. If external versions are not found or if they're too
old then the included versions will be used as a fallback.
2011-09-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The "writing application" element will not be
localized but always be written in English.
2011-09-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: MPEG TS: mkvmerge will extract the track
languages from a corresponding clpi (clip info) file. That file is
searched for in the same directory and in ../CLIPINF and must
have the same base name but with the ".clpi" extension.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Added new stereo mode options to match
the current specs. The new options are "anaglyph_green_magenta"
(12), "both_eyes_laced_left_first" (13) and
"both_eyes_laced_right_first" (14).
* mkvmerge: The --stereo-mode named option "anaglyph" was renamed
to "anaglyph_cyan_red" to match the specs. The numerical value
(10) remains unchanged.
2011-09-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: Fixed attachment number displayed during
extraction. Fix for bug 663.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: MPEG TS: Added support for HDMV PGS
subtitles.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: MPEG TS: Added support for DTS HD Master
Audio tracks.
2011-09-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: MPEG TS: Streams that are mentioned in
the PMT but do not actually contain data are neither reported
during identification nor muxed.
2011-09-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: MPEG TS: Added support for reading the
language code.
2011-09-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: Added MPEG transport streams to the "add file"
dialog file selector.
* mkvmerge: new feature: MPEG TS: Added support for normal DTS
tracks.
* mkvmerge: Tons of fixes and additions to the MPEG transport
stream demuxer.
2011-09-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* build system: configure will accept external versions of libEBML
and libMatroska again. Minimum required versions are libEBML 1.2.1
and libMatroska 1.1.0.
2011-09-07 DenB <denb10@free.fr>
* All: Updated the French translation with a complete set by DenB
(see AUTHORS).
2011-09-05 Cosme Domínguez <cosme.ddiaz@gmail.com>
* mmg: mmg respects the XDG Base Directory Specification regarding
its configuration files (environment variable
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mkvtoolnix if set, otherwise
~/.config/mkvtoolnix).
2011-08-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: Added an Lithuanian translation by Mindaugas Baranauskas
(see AUTHORS).
2011-08-14 Massimo Callegari <massimocallegari@yahoo.it>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Implemented a MPEG transport stream
demuxer.
2011-08-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: When looking for MPEG files with the same
base name as a source file mkvmerge will be stricter what it
accepts. The file name must consist of at least one char followed
by "-" or "_" followed by a number. That will match VTS_01_1.VOB
but not e.g. "some_series_s03e10.mpg".
2011-07-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Opening MPEG files with numbers in their name
from folders with e.g. Cyrillic names failed on Windows.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Several elements are not written when
creating WebM compliant files. In the segment headers: SegmentUID,
SegmentFamily, ChapterTranslate, PreviousSegmentUID,
NextSegmentUID. In the track headers: MinCache, MaxCache and
MaxBlockAdditionID.
2011-07-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Sped up file identification by caching
read operations.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed identifying QuickTime/MP4 files that
start with a 'skip' atom.
2011-07-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a crash when reading AVI files with DTS
audio tracks that do not contain valid headers in the first couple
of packets. Fix for bug 646.
2011-07-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v4.9.1.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed endless loop when reading AVI files on
Windows if MKVToolNix was compiled with a gcc mingw cross compiler
v4.4.x. Fix for bug 642.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed long file identification time caused by
DV detection. Fix for bug 641.
2011-07-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v4.9.0.
2011-07-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: DV files are recognized as an unsupported
container type. Fix for bug 630.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed handling block groups in Matroska
files with a duration of 0.
2011-07-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: Various compatibility fixes for use with wxWidgets 2.9.x.
2011-06-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed building with Sun Studio's C compiler.
2011-06-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: ISO 639-2 terminology language codes are
converted to the corresponding bibliography code upon file
identification (e.g. 'deu' is converted to 'ger').
2011-06-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: bug fix: The time code scale is retrieved first before
applying it to the segment duration.
* all: Added an Italian translation by Roberto Boriotti and
Matteo Angelino (see AUTHORS).
2011-05-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed populating the 'compression' drop down box
according to what mkvmerge was compiled with.
2011-05-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: When a DTS track is read from a source file
that provides time codes (e.g. Matroska files) then those time codes
will be preserved.
2011-05-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Fixed remuxing certain VC1 video tracks from Matroska
files. Fix for bug 636.
2011-05-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v4.8.0.
* mmg: bug fix (Windows): mmg will no longer convert the "mkvmerge
executable" from just "mkvmerge" into a full path name when
writing its preferences to the registry upon existing.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Added support for VobSub IDX files with
negative "delay" fields.
2011-05-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The 'doc type read version' EBML header field
is only set to 2 even if a stereo mode other than 'none' is used
for at least one video track. Fix for bug 625.
2011-05-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvpropedit: new feature: Added support for adding, replacing
and removing chapters.
2011-05-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* All: Avoided a segmentation fault in gcc by not including a
pre-compiled header if FLAC or CURL support is disabled.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Reading DTS files stored in 14-to-16 mode
were read partially.
2011-04-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: mkvmerge will rederive frame types for
VC1 video tracks stored in Matroska files instead of relying on
the container information. This fixes files created by
e.g. MakeMKV that mark all frames as key frames even if they
aren't.
2011-04-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed detection of AAC files with ADIF
headers. Fix for bug 626.
2011-04-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The 'doc type version' and 'doc type read
version' EBML header fields are only set to 3 if a stereo mode
other than 'none' is used for at least one video track. Fix for
bug 625.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: File identification for tracks read from
Matroska files with a codec ID of "A_MS/ACM" will show the track's
format tag field if it is unknown to mkvmerge. Implements bug
624.
2011-04-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Track, tag and attachment selection via
--audio-tracks, --video-tracks etc. can have their meaning
reversed by prefixing the list of IDs with "!". If it is then
mkvmerge will copy all tracks/tags/attachments but the ones with
the IDs given to the option (e.g. "--attachments !3,6").
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed handling AVIs with AAC audio format tag
0x706d and bogus private data size. Fix for bug 623.
2011-04-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v4.7.0.
* build system: For the time being the build system will always
build and link statically against the internal versions of libEBML
and libMatroska.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed appending time code calculation for
appended subtitle tracks if the subtitle tracks are read from
complex containers (e.g. Matroska, MP4, AVI etc). Fix for bug 620.
2011-04-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: Fixed extraction of MPEG-1/2 video tracks
whose sequence headers change mid-stream but whose key frames are
not all prefixed with a sequence header. Fix for bug 556.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed reading AAC tracks from AVI files with
7 bytes long codec data. Fix for bug 613.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Added support for WAV and AVI files that
use a WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE structure (wFormatTag == 0xfffe). Fix
for bug 614.
2011-04-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The output file name extension will be updated on
each track selection changed as well. The extension is based on
the actually selected tracks, not on the presence of tracks of
certain types. Fix for bug 615.
2011-04-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge was dropping the last full DTS
packet from a DTS files if that file was not encoded in "14-in-16"
mode and if the file size was not divisible by 16.
2011-03-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed huge slowdown when splitting by size is
active with certain kinds of input files. Fix for bug 611.
* mkvinfo: bug fix: Fixed redirecting the output into a file with
"--redirect-output"/"-r" and verbosity levels of 2 and higher.
* mkvpropedit, mmg header/chapter editor: bug fix: Fixed parsing
Matroska files if mkvtoolnix is compiled with newer versions of
libebml/libmatroska (SVN revisions after the releases of libebml
1.2.0/libmatroska 1.1.0).
2011-03-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: WAV files with unsupported format tags are
rejected instead of being treated like containing PCM. Fix for bug
610.
2011-03-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: The EBML header values "doc type version"
and "doc type read version" are both set to 3 if at least one of
the video tracks uses the stereo mode parameter.
2011-03-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v4.6.0.
2011-03-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* build system: Fixed building the Qt version of mkvinfo's
GUI (again). Fix for bug 576.
2011-02-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: If the header editor finds 'language' elements
with ISO-639-1 codes (e.g. "fra" instead of "fre" for "French")
then it will map the code to the corresponding ISO-639-2 code. Fix
for bug 598.
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed one of the issues causing mmg to report that
it is configured to use an unsupported version of mkvmerge when
the reported version was actually empty.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: HD-DVD subtitles are recognized as being
an unsupported file format. This makes the error message presented
to the user a bit clearer. Fix for bug 600.
2011-02-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* build: Boost 1.36.0 or newer is required (up from 1.34.0). Also
fixed building with v3 of Boost's filesystem library, e.g. with
Boost 1.46.0 Beta 1 or newer.
* mkvpropedit: new feature: Added support for adding, replacing
and removing tags.
2011-02-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: Added a translation for the programs into Turkish by
ßouЯock (see AUTHORS).
2011-02-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* build system: Fixed compilation if configure choses the internal
versions of libebml and libmatroska while older versions are still
installed in a location named with "-I..." or "-L..." in
CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS or with configure's
"--with-extra-includes" and "--with-extra-libs" options.
2011-01-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v4.5.0.
* build: Building mkvtoolnix now requires libebml v1.2.0 and
libmatroska v1.1.0 or later.
* build: enhancement: mkvtoolnix now includes libebml and
libmatroska. The configure script will use them if either no
installed versions of them is found or if the installed version is
too old.
2011-01-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed an infinite loop when reading program
stream maps in MPEG program streams. Part of a fix for bug 589.
2011-01-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: new feature: Added an option "--track-info" (short:
"-t") that displays one-line statistics about each track at the
end of the output. The statistics include the track's total size,
duration, approximate bitrate and number of packets/frames.
* mkvinfo: bug fix: The hexdump mode was accessing invalid memory
if the data to dump was shorter than 16 bytes. It was also
outputting the values as characters instead of hexadecimal
numbers. Patch by ykar@list.ru. Fix for bug 591.
2011-01-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: The output file name extension is
automatically set to ".mk3d" if the stereo mode parameter for any
video track is changed to anything else than "mono" or the default
value.
* mmg: enhancement: Added ".mk3d" to the list of known file name
extensions for Matroska files.
* mkvmerge, mmg: enhancement: Updated the "stereo mode" parameter
to match the current Matroska specifications.
2010-12-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: If mkvmerge encounters invalid UTF-8
strings in certain files or command line arguments then those
strings will simply be cut short. Before mkvmerge was exiting with
an error ("Invalid UTF-8 sequence encountered").
* all: new feature: Added online update checks. The command line
tools know a new parameter "--check-for-updates". mmg has a new
menu entry ("Help" -> "Check for updates") and checks
automatically when it starts, but at most once in 24 hours. Can be
turned off in the preferences. This function requires libcurl and
is not built if libcurl is not available.
2010-12-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Avoid a crash due to invalid memory access if
a source file name contains numbers (happens only if mkvtoolnix is
built with MS Visual Studio). Fix for bug 585.
2010-12-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for reading VP8 video from
Ogg files. Implements bug 584.
* mkvextract: enhancement: mkvextract will exit with an error if
the user specifies track IDs that do not exist in the source
file. This works in the "tracks" and "time codes_v2" extraction
modes. Fix for bug 583.
* docs: mkvextract's man page has been updated to match the
program's expected command line syntax for the "time codes_v2"
mode. Fix for bug 583.
2010-12-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* build system: Fixed building the Qt version of mkvinfo's
GUI. Fix for bug 576.
* mkvmerge, mmg: bug fix: Option files could not contain options
that started with '#' as they were interpreted as comment lines.
2010-11-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: The "default duration" header field is
set for DTS audio tracks.
2010-11-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* build system: mmg's guide and its images are installed into the
location given by configure's "docdir" variable. Patch by Cristian
Morales Vega (see AUTHORS).
2010-11-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: Made the French translation selectable in all programs.
2010-11-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: On Mac OS X the application type is set to a
foreground application preventing issues like the GUI never
getting focus.
2010-10-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v4.4.0.
* build system: bug fix: Installation no longer fails if xsltproc
is available but the DocBook stylesheets aren't. Fix for bug 575.
* mkvmerge: new feature: If the name of an input file starts with
'=' then mkvmerge will not try to open other files with the same
name (e.g. 'VTS_01_1.VOB', 'VTS_01_2.VOB', 'VTS_01_3.VOB') from
the same directory. A single '=' as an argument disables this as
well for the next input file. Implements bug 570.
* mmg: new feature: Added an option to disable extra compression
when adding tracks by default.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Made file type detection stricter for MP3,
AC3 and AAC files. This prevents mis-detection of other file types
as one of these for certain files. Fix for bug 574.
2010-10-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the usage of iterators with the STL
"deque" template class. This caused mkvmerge to abort on systems
which did not use the GNU implementation of the standard template
library, e.g. OpenSolaris with the SunStudio compiler. Fix for bug
567.
2010-09-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: The warning about subtitle entries that
are skipped because their start time is greater than their end
time now includes the subtitle number.
2010-09-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Build system: bug fix: 'drake install' did not work if the login
shell was not POSIX compatible (e.g. fish). Fix for bug 559.
2010-09-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: When appending two Matroska files which
both contain chapters the chapter entries of all editions will be
merged even if the edition's UIDs were different to begin
with. This is done based on the order of the edition. If both
files contain three editions each then the chapters from the first
edition in the second file will be put into the first edition from
the first file; the chapters from the second edition into the
second edition and so on.
* all: Added a translation of the programs into French by
Trinine (see AUTHORS).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The MPEG ES reader was accessing
uninitialized data. This could lead to crashes or source files not
being read correctly.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Using "--no-video" on AVI files caused the
video track to be mistaken for an audio track and included
anyway. Fix for bug 558.
2010-09-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v4.3.0.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Appending tracks which would normally be
compressed (e.g. with header removal compression) and turning off
compression for those tracks with "--compression TID:none" (or the
corresponsing option in mmg) was resulting in the second and all
following appended tracks to be compressed all the same.
2010-09-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: Errors such as 'file does not exist' did
not cause mkvextract to quit. Instead it continued and exited with
the result code 0.
2010-08-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Certain frames in certain h.264/AVC raw
tracks were handled wrong, e.g. files created by x264 versions
starting with revision 1665. The situation occured if an IDR slice
comes immedtiately after a non-IDR slice and the IDR slice has its
frame_num and pic_order_count_lsb fields set to 0.
2010-08-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Attachments will be rendered at the
beginning of the file again. Fix for bug 516.
2010-08-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvpropedit, mmg's header editor: Fixed a crash corrupting files
in certain situations. If the updated header fields required
filling exactly one byte with an EbmlVoid element and if the next
Matroska element's "size" was already written with its maximum
length (8 bytes) then the crash would occur. Such files are
written by e.g. lavf. Fix for bug 536.
2010-08-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* All: bug fix: Fixed a couple of format strings in translations
which could cause the programs to crash.
2010-08-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: new feature: mkvinfo will show the h.264 profile and
level for AVC/h.264 tracks along with the CodecPrivate element.
2010-08-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Video tracks with a width or height of 0 are
not read from AVI files anymore. Fix for bug 538.
2010-08-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed an error with losing packets (error
message "packet queue not empty") when reading IVF (VP8) files
using --default-duration on it.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed access to uninitialized memory in the
MPEG-2 ES parser.
2010-08-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The 'total remaining time' shown by the job
manager was totally wrong. Fix for bug 529.
2010-08-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* build system: The build system has been changed from "make" to
"rake", the Ruby based build tool. MKVToolNix includes its own
copy of it so all you need is to have Ruby itself installed. The
build proecss has been tested with Ruby 1.8.6, 1.8.7 and
1.9.1. Building is pretty much the same as before: "./configure",
"./drake", "sudo ./drake install". Most of the build targets have
similar if not identical names, e.g. "./drake install". You can
override variables just like with make, e.g. "./drake
prefix=/somewhere install".
2010-07-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg header editor: bug fix: If a file was loaded that did not
contain 'track language' elements and those elements were
unchanged then they would be set to 'und' upon saving. Now they're
left as-is, and when adding them to the file the drop-down box
defaults to 'eng' being selected as per Matroska default value
specifications. Fix for bug 525.
2010-07-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract, mkvinfo, mkvpropedit: new feature: Added the option
"-q" and its long version "--quiet". With "--quiet" active only
warnings and errors are output. Fix for bug 527.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The option "--quiet" was not working
properly.
* mkgmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge was treating SSA/ASS subtitle files
as audio files for the purpose of track selection (--no-subtitles
/ --no-audio). Fix for bug 526.
2010-07-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v4.2.0.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge was accessing invalid memory In
certain cases, e.g. when appending Matroska files that use
compression while turning compression off.
2010-07-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Splitting output files by size was basing its
decision when to create a new file on an uninitialized
variable. This caused effects like a lot of small files being
created with sizes much smaller than the intended split size.
2010-07-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The speed with which mkvmerge skips garbage
in DTS tracks has been greatly improved.
2010-07-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Reading Matroska files: DisplayWidth &
DisplayHeight values that are obviously not meant to represent
pixels but only to be used for aspect ratio calculation (e.g.
16x9) are converted into proper ranges based on the track's
PixelWidth & PixelHeight values and the quotient of DisplayWidth /
DisplayHeight.
2010-07-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Attachments will be rendered at the end
of the file instead of at the beginning. The attachments will be
placed after the cues but before the chapters. Fix for bug 516.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Header removal compression has been
enabled by default for MPEG-4 part 10 (AVC/h.264) video tracks
with a NALU size field length of four bytes.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Header removal compression has been
deactivated for MPEG-4 part 2 (aka DivX/Xvid) video tracks due to
incompatibility with packed bitstreams.
2010-07-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: The taskbar progress is reset as soon as
mkvmerge finishes/as soon as all jobs are done (Windows 7).
2010-07-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed reading AVC/h.264 tracks from AVI files
if they're stored without NALUs inside the AVI. Was broken by a
fix for handling AVC/h.264 in NALUs inside AVI.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: All readers that only handled file formats
which do not contain more than one track did not respect the
"--no-audio / --no-video / --no-subtitles" options. This applied
to the following readers: AAC, AC3, AVC/h.264, CorePicture, Dirac,
DTS, FLAC, IVF, MP3, MPEG ES, PGS/SUP, SRT, SSA, TrueHD, TTA, VC1,
WAV and WavPack.

downloads). The position is reported as well as a periodic update
as long as mkvmerge re-syncs to the next Matroska element.
* mmg: enhancement: The "compression" drop down box is enabled for
all track types. That way "no compression" can be forced for those
tracks mkvmerge uses "header removal" compression for.
2010-06-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Matroska files read from/written to by the header
and chapter editors will no longer be kept opened and locked. Fix

increased to five seconds (up from two seconds).
2010-06-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge will no longer report nonsensical
progress reports (e.g. -17239182%) when reading Matroska files
with all the flags "--no-audio --no-video --no-subtitles"
enabled. Fix for bug 505.
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed a crash in the job runner when the total
time was very big due to a division by zero.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Implemented write caching resulting in
faster muxes especially on Windows writing to network shares.
2010-06-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for reading PGS subtitles
from PGS/SUP files.

causing a crash in the AC3 detection code.
2010-06-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Changing mmg's interface language did not change
the entries in the "command line options" dialog if that dialog
had been opened prior to the language change.

* mkvmerge: enhancement: mkvmerge uses header removal compression
by default for AC3, DTS, MP3, Dirac and MPEG-4 part 2 tracks.
* all: Added desktop files for mmg/mkvinfo, a MIME type file for
.mmg files and icons to the installation procedure on Linux. Most

raw FLAC files. The option "--no-ogg" has been removed as well.
* mkvmerge: feature removal: Removed support for the FLAC library
older than v1.1.1.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed support for reading FLAC tracks from
Ogg files following the FLAC-in-Ogg-mapping established with FLAC

size.
2010-05-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: bug fix: Fixed handling clusters with an unknown size.
* mkvinfo: new feature: Added an option ("-z" / "--size") for
displaying each element's size property. Elements with an
unknown/infinite size are shown as "size is unknown".
2010-05-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added a checkbox for enabling "WebM"
mode. This will also enable the same limitations that mkvmerge
enables: Only VP8 and Vorbis tracks, no chapters, no tags. The
output file name extension will be changed to ".webm" upon
enabling the mode.
2010-05-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: change: mkvmerge will not write track header elements
whose actual value equals their default value anymore.
2010-05-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Neither chapters nor tags will be written
to WebM compliant files. Warnings are issued if chapters or
tags are found and not disabled.

the list of known file types.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for muxing VP8 video
tracks.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: mkvmerge will no longer put all clusters
into a meta seek element resulting in smaller file size. The
parameter "--no-clusters-in-meta-seek" has been renamed to
"--clusters-in-meta-seek" and its meaning reverted.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: WebM compatibility mode will be
turned on automatically if the output file name's extension is
'.webm', '.webma' or '.webmv'.
* mkvinfo GUI: enhancement: Added "webm" to the list of known file
name extensions for WebM files both for the "Open file" dialog
and the drag & drop support.
2010-05-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added options "--webm"/"--web-media" that
enable the WebM compatibility mode. In this mode only Vorbis
audio tracks and VP8 video tracks are allowed. Neither chapters
nor tags are allowed. The DocType element is set to "webm".
* mkvinfo GUI: bug fix: Opening more than one file without
restarting mkvinfo GUI could result in wrong time codes due to
variables not being reinitialized.
2010-05-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: bug fix: Binary elements shorter than 10 bytes were not
output correctly.
2010-05-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge will not output a message that it
has extracted the display dimensions from AVC/h.264 bitstream if
the source container (e.g. Matroska) overrides that setting. Fix
for bug 485.
2010-04-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg's header editor, mkvpropedit: Fixed crashes with files
created by Haali's GS Muxer containing "content encoding" header
elements.
2010-04-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: Extracting SSA/ASS files which miss the

* All: enhancement: Added support for old Mac-style line endings
(only '\r' without '\n') in text files.
2010-03-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: Added the values "4483M" and "8142M" to the

2010-02-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* All: bug fix: The programs will no longer abort with an error
message if a selected interface translation is not available. The
"C" locale is used instead. Fix for bug 472.
2010-02-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvextract: enhancement: Improved the error resilience
when dealing with damaged Matroska files. When a damaged part is
encountered reading will continue at the next cluster.
2010-02-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the handling of UTF-16 encoded chapter
names in MP4/MOV files.
2010-02-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Some Matroska files contain h.264/AVC
tracks lacking their CodecPrivate element (e.g. files created by
gstreamer's muxer). For such tracks the CodecPrivate element (the
AVCC) is re-created from the bitstream. Fix for bug 470.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: MP4 files that do contain edit lists but
whose edit lists do not span the entire file are processed
properly. Such files are created by current x264 builds. Fix for
bug 469.

for newer Boost versions.
2010-02-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* docs: Added a Chinese Simplified translation for the man pages
by Dean Lee (see AUTHORS).
2010-02-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Outputting error messages about invalid XML
files will not cause mkvmerge to crash on Windows anymore.
* mmg: enhancement: Added an input field for the segment info XML
file (mkvmerge's "--segmentinfo" option) on the "global" tab.
2010-02-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The jobs will be saved in the 'mkvtoolnix/jobs'
sub-directory of the 'application data' folder instead of the
'jobs' folder in the current directory. On Windows this is the
special 'application data' folder inside the user's profile
directory, e.g. 'C:\Users\mbunkus\AppData\mkvtoolnix'. On
non-Windows systems this is the folder '.mkvtoolnix' in the user's
home directory.
mmg's configuration file has also been moved from ~/.mkvmergeGUI
to ~/.mkvtoolnix/config on non-Windows systems.
Fix for bug 466.
2010-01-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: Files are only opened for reading, not for
writing, so that mkvextract will work on files the user only has
read-only permissions for.
* mkvextract: bug fix: Modes 'attachments', 'chapters', 'tags' and
'cuesheet': mkvextract will output an error message if the file
cannot be opened (e.g. because it does not exist or due to lack of
access).
2010-01-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: Changing the interface language does not
require a restart anymore.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Reading VOB files bigger than 4 GB was broken
in v3.1.0 on 32bit platforms.
2010-01-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Tooltips were not word-wrapped on Windows.
* mkvinfo: enhancement: Added the "EBML maximum size length"
element to the list of known elements. Fix for bug 464.
2010-01-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added a control for mkvmerge's "--cropping"
parameter.
* mmg: enhancement: Added the file extensions ".dtshd", ".dts-hd",
".truehd" and ".true-hd" to mmg's"'add/append file" dialogs.
* mkvextract: bug fix: "mkvextract --version" was only writing an
empty string. Fix for bug 463.
2010-01-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v3.1.0.
2010-01-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If the first input file was a Quicktime/MP4
file and all tracks from that file were deselected for muxing then
mkvmerge would crash. Fix for bug 458.
2010-01-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The option 'AAC is SBR/HE-AAC' was not honored
for appended AAC tracks. This could lead to mkvmerge aborting with
an error that the track parameters did not match if it itself
could not detect HE-AAC in the second file.
2010-01-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* documentation: Added a Chinese Simplified translation for mmg's
guide by Dean Lee (see AUTHORS).
2010-01-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* documentation: Added a Japanese translation for the man pages by
Katsuhiko Nishimra (see AUTHORS).
2010-01-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The output file name is checked for invalid
characters before the muxing process is started. Fix for bug 455.
* mkvpropedit, mmg: bug fix: Files with an infinite segment size
are handled correctly now. Fix for bug 438.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Matroska files which have its 'tracks'
element located behind the clusters are read correctly now.
* mmg: enhancement: After muxing the "abort" button is changed to
"open folder" which opens the explorer on the output file's
folder. This only happens on Windows.
2010-01-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: When constructing the output file name mmg
will only suggest names that don't exist already by appending a
number to the file name (e.g. resulting in "/path/file (1).mkv").
2009-12-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for reading chapters from
MP4 files that are stored in tracks with subtype 'text'. Such
files are used e.g. on iPods/iPhones and can be created by
HandBrake. Fix for bug 454.
2009-12-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The "tags" input box on the "general track
options" tab was not updated when a track was selected. Fix for
bug 453.
2009-12-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mmg: new feature: If a MPEG-2 program stream file is
added to mkvmerge whose base name ends in a number then mkvmerge
will automatically read and process all other files in the same
directory with the same base name, same extension and different
numbers. Those files are treated as if they were a single big
file. This applies e.g. to VOB files from DVD images that are
named VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, VTS_01_3.VOB etc. mmg will
output an error message if the user tries to add or append one of
the other files that mkvmerge will process automatically (e.g. if
the user has added VTS_01_1.VOB already and tries to append
VTS_01_2.VOB).
This also fixes bug 437.
* Build requirements changed: mkvtoolnix requires Boost v1.34.0 or
later. It requires the Boost::Filesystem library (with all Boost
versions) and the Boost::System libraries (starting with Boost
v1.35.0).
2009-12-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: SRT files with negative time codes will
are not rejected anymore. Negative time codes will be adjusted to
start at 00:00:00.000.
2009-12-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: new feature: Added support for extracting Blu-Ray
subtitles (CodecID "S_HDMV/PGS").
2009-12-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge/mmg: enhancement: Added an option '--segment-uid' for
specifying the segment UIDs to use instead of having to use a XML
file and '--segmentinfo'.
* Installer: The installer will no longer offer to run mmg after
it has been installed. On Windows setups where a normal user
account doesn't have administrator privileges this caused mmg to
be run as the user "Administrator" instead of the normal user
account causing confusion and some things not to work, e.g. drag &
drop.
2009-12-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Zero-length frames in Theora bitstreams as
created by libtheora v1.1 and later were dropped. Fix for bug
450.
2009-12-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: On Windows 2000/XP the 'add/append file' dialog
was not showing files with certain extensions (e.g. ".srt" or
".mp4") if the option "all supported media files" was
selected. Fix for bug 448.
2009-12-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v3.0.0.
* mmg: enhancement: Added support for showing the muxing progress
for both normal muxes and the job manager in Windows 7's taskbar.
2009-12-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: bug fix: The charset for output in cmd.exe for non-English
interface languages has been fixed on Windows Vista and Windows 7.
* all: enhancement for Windows platforms: If one of the mkvtoolnix
components is run without having been installed before then
translations will be read from the directory the .exe is run
from.
2009-12-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* configure: Added an option ('--without-build-timestamp') that
omits the build timestamp from all version information so that two
builds of mkvtoolnix can be byte-identical.
2009-12-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvpropedit, mmg: bug fix: Editing headers of files created by
HandBrake would cause crashes and/or corrupted files after
saving. Fix for bug 445.
2009-11-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v2.9.9.
2009-11-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The warning that no FPS has been entered for
AVC/h.264 elementary streams is not shown anymore for appended
tracks (only once for the first track that they're appended to).
2009-10-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The pixel cropping parameters were not kept
when muxing from Matroska files.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The display width/height parameters were not
kept when muxing from Matroska files if the bitstream of the track
contained different aspect ratio information. Now the order is
"command line" first, "source container" second and "bitstream"
last.
2009-09-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the subtitle track selection for AVI
files.
2009-08-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: A single '+' causes the next file to be
appended just like putting the '+' in front of the file name.
2009-08-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The integrated help ('--help') contained
wrong information about the '--sync' option. Fix for bug 435.
2009-08-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: The file dialogs for 'add file'/'append file'
will show files with extensions in all uppercase as well. This
only applies to file systems that distinguish between case
(e.g. most of the non-Windows, non-FAT world). Fix for bug 433.
2009-08-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Missing ChapterLanguage elements were assumed
to be set to "und". They're now assumed to be "eng" in accordance
with the Matroska specifications.
* Added a new program 'mkvpropedit' that can modify certain
properties of existing Matroska files. It is mmg's header editor,
just for the command line.
2009-08-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v2.9.8.
* mmg: bug fix: The inputs for time code files and the language are
deactivated if the user has selected a track that will be appended
to another track. Fix for bug 432.
2009-08-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: mmg will handle multiple consecutive spaces in the
options given with "add command line options" properly and not
cause mkvmerge to exit with misleading error messages anymore. The
"add command line options" dialog has been reordered, and the drop
down box in it is now read-only. Fixes for bug 429.
* doc, mmg: bug fix: The tooltip and documentation for the 'delay'
option was misleading. Fix for bug 420.
2009-07-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg/header editor: enhancement: Implemented a considerable
speedup in the processing of large files.
2009-07-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg/header editor: bug fix: The header editor copes better with
files that do not contain all mandatory header fields. The missing
ones are added or assumed to be default values.
2009-07-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: bug fix: Selecting the translations with the
"--ui-language" option did not work on Mac OS X.
2009-07-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed an invalid memory access in the VobSub
reader module. Fix for bug 426.
* mmg: bug fix: Tracks added from Matroska files did not get their
'default track' drop down box set correctly if the flag was 'off'
in the source file and no other track of its kind hat its 'default
track' flag set.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge was wrongly turning the 'default
track' flag back on for the first subtitle track muxed from a
Matroska file if none of the subtitle tracks muxed had their
'default track' flag set in their source files and if the user
didn't use the '--default-track' option for setting that flag
explicitely.
2009-07-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Running mkvmerge on Windows from an installation
directory with two spaces in the path (e.g. "C:\Program
Files\Video tools\mkvtolnix") crashed mmg when the user started
muxing. Fix for bug 419.
2009-07-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Files for which all tracks were disabled were left
out from mkvmerge's command line so that tags, chapters and
attachments were not copied from such files either.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Appending MPEG4 part 2 video tracks from
Matroska files which contain aspect ratio information will not
result in an error message "connected_to > 0" anymore. Fix for bug
427.
2009-07-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the audio sync for tracks read from AVI
files containing garbage at the beginning. Fix for bug 421.
* mmg: bug fix: Trying to save chapters that contain editions
without a single chapter entry does no longer result in a crash
but a descriptive error message instead. Saving empty chapters to
a Matroska file will remove all chapters contained in the file
instead of not doing anything. Fixes for bug 422.
2009-07-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: enhancement: Implemented speed-ups of up to 50% for
middle to larger files.
2009-07-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed reading AVC/h.264 video tracks from OGM
files. Fix for bug 418.
* mmg: bug fix: The chapter language for chapters copied from
source files (e.g. Matroska, MP4 or OGM files) is only changed if
the user has selected any language other than "und". Fix for bug
420.
* mmg: bug fix: mmg will no longer show an error message if the
user has not selected a country in the "chapters" tab of the
preferences dialog.
2009-07-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v2.9.7.
2009-06-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The handling of NVOPs in native MPEG4 part 2
video storage has been improved. NVOPs are dropped again both from
packed and non-packed bitstreams, and time codes are adjusted to
match the number of dropped frames.
2009-06-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: The "preferences" dialog has been split up into several
tabs. Some other preferences available in other dialogs have been
merged into the "preferences" dialog.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The I frame detection for AVC/h.264 video has
been fixed. Sometimes a single I frame was recognized as two or
more consecutive I frames resulting in garbled display and wrong
timestamps. Fix for bug 415.
2009-06-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: The list of common languages can be configured
by the user via the 'preferences' dialog.
2009-06-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: bug fix: The programs do not try to close iconv handles -1
anymore which resulted in segfault during uninitialization on some
platforms (e.g. FreeBSD, Mac OS X). Fix for bug 412.
2009-06-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Complete rewrite of the code for the native
storage mode for MPEG4 part 2 video tracks. Fix for bug 298.
2009-06-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Made the detection rules for raw MP3, AC3 and
AAC audio files more strict. This avoids a mis-detection of
certain files, e.g. AVC/h.264 ES files being misdetected as MP3
files. Fix for bug 414.
2009-06-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Appending MP4 or OGM files with chapters will
merge the chapters from all appended files and not just take the
chapters from the first file and discard the chapters from the
following files. Fix for bug 397.
* mkvmerge, mmg: new feature: The language for chapters read from
files such as OGM and MP4 files can be chosen with the
--chapter-language command line option. Fix for bug 399.
* mkvmerge, mmg: new feature: Chapter and tag information
contained in source files are now shown in the "track" selection
box and can be toggled individually. The user can set the charset
for chapters if the source file's chapters are not encoded in
UTF-8 (e.g. in some OGM/MP4 files). The old file specific
checkboxes "no tags" and "no chapters" have been removed. Fix for
bug 400.
2009-06-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The chapter editor was corrupting Matroska files
if the chapters were saved to a file twice in a row without
reloading them from the Matroska file.
2009-06-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: If the user selects the option "Verify" from
the "Chapters" menu then a message will be shown even if the
validation succeeded. Fix for bug 410.
* mmg/mkvmerge: bug fix: Adding MP4 files with chapter entries
that are not encoded in UTF-8 will not result in mkvmerge aborting
with a message about invalid UTF-8 sequences anymore. Fix for bug
408.
2009-06-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v2.9.5.
2009-06-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The handling of TrueHD/MLP audio in MPEG
program streams was broken resulting in many dropped packets.
* all: bug fix: There was the possibility that invalid memory
access occured and e.g. mkvmerge crashed on systems with the
posix_fadvise() function (mainly Linux) if mkvmerge was opening
several files from certain file systems (e.g. VFAT). Apart from
obvious crashes the only other side effect was that the
posix_fadvise() function would not be used resulting in slightly
worse I/O performance.
2009-05-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Improved the control over which tags get
copied from a source file to the output file. The old option
"--no-tags" was replaced with the new options "--no-global-tags"
which causes global tags not to be copied and "--no-track-tags"
which causes track specific tags to not be copied. The new option
"--track-tags" can be used to select tracks for which tags will be
copied. The default is still to copy all existing tags.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Included chapters, global and track
specific tracks in the output of mkvmerge's identification mode.
* mkvmerge: Renamed a couple of command line options to make the
command line interface more consistent: "--no-audio",
"--no-video", "--no-subtitles", "--no-buttons", "--audio-tracks",
"--video-tracks", "--subtitle-tracks", "--button-tracks". The old
versions of these options "--noaudio", "--novideo", "--nosubs",
"--nobuttons", "--atracks", "--vtracks", "--stracks" and
"--btracks" still work.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The sequence header of MPEG-1/2 video tracks
is put into the CodecPrivate again while still leaving sequence
headers in the bitstream as well. This is more compatible with
some existing parsers.
2009-05-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Removed the check if the user has added
tracks and files before starting mkvmerge because mkvmerge itself
is able to create track-less files (e.g. chapters only). Fix for
bug 402.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Improved the handling of consecutive AC3
packets with the same time code (e.g. if AC3 is read from MP4
files). Fix for bug 403.
2009-05-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed an endless loop in the TrueHD code
occuring when the TrueHD stream is damaged somewhere.
2009-05-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the detection of MPEG transport streams
with other packet sizes than 188 bytes (e.g. 192 and 204 bytes).
2009-05-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The detection of invalid padding packet
lengths in the MPEG program stream reader was improved to not
produce as many false positives. Patch by Todd Schmuland (see
AUTHORS). Fix for bug 393.
2009-05-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for the FourCCs ".mp3" and
"XVID" in QuickTime files.
* mmg: bug fix: Pressing 'return' in the job dialog will close the
dialog on Windows, too. Fix for bug 392.
2009-05-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed the behaviour of how mmg sets the output
file name automatically if the option is enabled. If the user adds
more than one file then the extension of the output file name is
set each time a file is added and not only when the first one
is. The full file name and path will only be set when the first
file is added. Fix for bug 391.
* Released v2.9.0.
2009-05-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: Added a translation to Traditional Chinese by Dean
Lee (see AUTHORS).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge was not handling dropped frames well
when converting from VfW-mode MPEG-4 part 2 to native mode MPEG-4
part 2 (with '--engage native_mpeg4'). This resulted in time codes
being to low which in turn resulted in the loss of audio/video
synchronization. Fix for bug 236.
2009-05-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: The modes 'chapters', 'cuesheet' and 'tags'
did not honor the '--redirect-output' option and where always
writing to the standard output.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added a hack ('vobsub_subpic_stop_cmds')
that causes mkvmerge to add 'stop display' commands to VobSub
subtitle packets that do not have a duration field. Patch by Todd
Schmuland (see AUTHORS).
2009-05-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: Changed how mmg sets the output file name
automatically if the option is enabled. If the user adds more than
one file then the output file name is set each time a file is
added and not only when the first one is unless the user has
changed the output file name manually. Fix for bug 229.
2009-05-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Improved support for QuickTime audio
tracks with version 2 of the STSD sound descriptor.
* mmg: bug fix: The "remove all" button was sometimes disabled
even though there were still files left to be removed.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: The MPEG program stream reader will now
detect invalid padding packets and skip only to the next 2048 byte
packet boundary instead of skipping several good packets. Patch by
Todd Schmuland (see AUTHORS).
* mmg: enhancement: The "no chapters" checkbox can now be used for
QuickTime/MP4 files and OGM files as well.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: The OGM reader will only print the
warning that no chapter charset has been set by the user if the
title or the chapter information contained in the OGM file is
actually used and not overwritten with '--title ...' or
'--no-chapters'.
2009-05-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: The VobSub extraction was made more
compatible with most applications. Fix for bug 245. Patch by Todd
Schmuland (see AUTHORS).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed support for Windows systems that use
code pages that are not supported by the iconv library (e.g. code
page 720). mkvmerge was exiting with warnings causing mmg to
report that file identification had failed. Fix for bug 376.
2009-05-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for handling MPEG-1/-2
video in AVI files. Fix for bug 388.
2009-05-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: bug fix: Global variables are deconstructed in a
pre-defined way no longer causing segfaults when the programs are
about to exit.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Implemented small speedups for some
common memory operation (affects e.g. the MPEG program stream
parser).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed potential and actual segmentation
faults occuring when appending VC-1 video tracks, Dirac video
tracks and DTS audio tracks.
2009-05-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The header and chapter editors will no longer
crash the application if the user wants to open a file that's
locked by another process and show an error message instead.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Invalid VobSub packets whose internal SPU
length field differs from its actual length are patched so that
the SPU length field matches the actual length. This fixes
playback issues with several players and filters. Fix for bug
383.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for reading chapters from
MP4 files. Fix for bug 385.
2009-05-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v2.8.0.
2009-05-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: Added a translation to Chinese (simplified) by Dean
Lee (see AUTHORS).
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Added support for handling AC3 audio in
MP4 files with the FourCC "sac3" (as created by e.g. Nero Recode
v3/4). Fix for bug 384.
* mkvmerge, mmg: enhancement: Made mmg's "FPS" input field
available for all video tracks. mkvmerge's corresponding option
"--default-duration" now not only modifies the track header field
but affects the frame time codes as well.
2009-05-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The VobSub reader was dropping the very last
MPEG packet possibly resulting in the very last subtitle entry
being garbled or discarded completely. Patch by Todd Schmuland.
2009-05-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: Added "60000/1001" as a pre-defined option to
the "FPS" drop-down box.
2009-04-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg (header editor): bug fix: The header editor controls on the
right stopped responding after the second file had been loaded or
the "reload file" feature had been used. Fix for bug 372.
2009-04-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added an option for clearing all inputs after
a successful muxing run.
2009-04-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Made the AAC detection code stricter in what
it accepts. This results in fewer mis-detections. Fix for bugs 373
and 374.
2009-04-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Splitting without the option "--engage
no_simpleblocks" resulted in broken files: all frames were marked
as B frames. Fix for bug 371.
* mkvinfo: bug fix: Time Codes of SimpleBlock elements that were
output formatted in summary mode were too small by a factor of
1000000.
2009-04-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The duration of subtitle frames was
overwritten with the difference between the next frame's time code
and the current frame's time code if a time code file was used for
that track. Fix for bug 286.
* mmg: bug fix: Removed the option "always use simple blocks" from
the preferences dialog as this option was already removed from
mkvmerge. Fix for bug 370.
2009-04-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v2.7.0.
* Build requirements changed: mkvtoolnix requires Boost v1.32.0 or
later.
2009-04-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: mkvmerge will now use SimpleBlock elements instead of
normal BlockGroup elements by default.
2009-04-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mmg: new feature: Added support for the "forced track"
flag. Fix for bug 128.
* mmg: bug fix: The header editor and chapter editor will not
write zero bytes anymore if there's not enough space to write an
EbmlVoid element when saving to Matroska files.
2009-04-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: By default mkvmerge keeps the aspect ratio information
in AVC/h.264 video bitstreams now (equivalent to specifying
"--engage keep_bitstream_ar_info" in earlier versions). A new
option "--engage remove_bitstream_ar_info" is available that
restores the previous behaviour.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the aspect ratio extraction for
AVC/h.264 video by adding three more pre-defined sample aspect
ratios. Mkvmerge also only assumes "free aspect ratio" if the
aspect ratio type information indicates it and not if the
type information is unknown.
2009-04-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added drag & drop support for the header
editor (files can be opened by dropping them on the header
editor).
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for reading the track
language from QuickTime/MP4 files. Thanks to Eduard Bloch for the
code for unpacking the language string.
* mmg: bug fix: All arguments are shell escaped and quoted instead
of only those with spaces in them. Only applies to the menu
options "show command line", "save command line to file" and "copy
command line to clipboard". Fix for bug 364.
2009-03-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvextract: new feature: Added support for MLP audio.
* mmg: bug fix: When adding a file with colons in the segment
title all colons were replaced with the letter 'c'.
2009-03-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvetract: new feature: Added support for TrueHD audio
(read from raw streams with or without embedded AC3 frames, MPEG
program streams).
2009-03-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The job manager's status output was garbled if mmg
was run with another language as English.
* mmg: bug fix: The progress bar for each individual job in the
job dialog wasn't updated if mmg was run with another language as
English.
* mmg: bug fix: The time codes in the job queue editor were off by
one month. The "added job on" was additionally off by an amount
depending on the user's time zone. Fix for bug 362.
2009-03-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The MPEG program stream (VOB/EVO) reader was
sometimes reading the time codes wrong resulting in bad audio/video
synchronization. Fix for bug 337.
* Released v2.6.0.
2009-03-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added a header editor for Matroska files.
2009-03-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: The "simple" chapter extraction mode (OGM
style chapter output) outputs strings converted to the system's
current charset by default now instead of always converting to
UTF-8. This can be overridden with the "--output-charset" command
line option. Fix for bug 359.
2009-03-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: QuickTime audio tracks will be stored with
the CodecID "A_QUICKTIME". The CodecPrivate element contains the
full "STSD" element from the QuickTime file (just like
V_QUICKTIME). This method is used for all audio tracks which don't
have a well-defined storage spec for Matroska (e.g. AAC, AC3,
MP2/3 are still stored as A_AC3, A_AAC etc). Hopefully a fix for
bugs 354 and 357.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The CodecPrivate element for QuickTime video
tracks like Sorenson Video Codecs contained wrong data. Fix for
bug 355.
* all: Added a Japanese translation by Hiroki Taniura (see
AUTHORS).
2009-03-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed detection of little endian PCM tracks
in MOV files. Fix for bug 356.
2009-03-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: The charset for text output was not
initialized correctly resulting in garbled display of non-ASCII
characters in non-UTF-8 locales.
* all: bug fix: A couple of translated strings were converted from
the wrong locale when they were displayed.
* mmg, mkvinfo: The GUIs now require an Unicode-enabled version of
wxWidgets.
2009-03-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: bug fix: The tools use the API call "GetOEMCP()" on Windows
instead of "GetACP()". This should make messages output in cmd.exe
come out correctly for Windows versions for which cmd.exe uses a
different code page than the rest (e.g. on German Windows).
2009-03-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: enhancement: If mkvinfo is started in GUI mode on
Windows then the console that was started with it will be closed.
* mkvinfo: bug fix: Chapter names and tag elements were recoded to
the wrong charset resulting in garbled output. Fix for bug 353.
2009-03-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v2.5.3.
2009-03-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvextract, mmg: bug fix: If the environment variables
LANG, LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES contained a locale that was supported by
the system but for which mkvtoolnix did not contain a translation
(e.g. fr_FR, it_IT, en_AU) then the programs would abort with an
error message. Fix for bug 338.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Appending raw AVC/ES files resulted in
segmentation faults. Fix for bug 344.
2009-02-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: When mkvmerge was run with the --attachments
option to copy only some of the attachments in a Matroska file
then any attachment with an ID larger than the first skipped
attachment ID was not copied into the new file. Fix for bug 346.
* Released v2.5.2.
* installer: bug fix: If the installer is run in silent mode
(switch "/S") then it will not ask the user whether or not to
place a shortcut on the desktop, and that shortcut will not be
created. Fix for bug 345.
* mmg: new feature: Added two buttons "enable all" and "disable
all" to the list of attached files that enable / disable all
attached files.
* mmg: bug fix: The action "File" -> "New" did not clear the
internal list of attached files resulting in unexpected behaviour
if files with attachments where added afterwards.
* mmg: bug fix: The button "remove all files" did not clear the
list of attached files.
2009-02-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: new feature: Made mkvinfo's GUI translatable. Added a
German translation for the GUI.
2009-02-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: On Linux wxWidgets 2.8.0 and newer uses the GTK combo boxes
which suck. A lot. Therefore mmg uses wxBitmapComboBoxes for
wxWidgets >= 2.8.0 on Linux and normal wxComboBoxes in all other
cases. wxBitmapComboBoxes are still drawn by wxWidgets itself
(just like wxComboBoxes before 2.8.0) and offer much better
functionality. Fix for bug 339.
* mkvmerge, mmg: bug fix: The MIME type autodetection for
attachments was broken for paths with non-ASCII characters on
non-UTF-8 encoded systems (mostly on Windows). Fix for bug 340.
* source: various fixes for compilation with wxWidgets 2.9.
2009-02-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all programs: bug fix: The locale was not detected properly
often resulting in the program aborting with the message that
"the locale could not be set properly". Fix for bug 338.
2009-02-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v2.5.1.
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed the selection of the translation to use if
the LC_MESSAGES environment variable has been set on Windows.
2009-02-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v2.5.0.
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed a crash during the check if files could be
overwritten by the next mux. Possible fix for bugs 335 and 336.
2009-02-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvinfo, mkvextract, mmg: Made all those programs
nearly completly translatable. Added a German translation for all
four programs (only for the programs, not for the static
documentation: man pages, the guide to mmg etc).
* mkvmerge, mmg: new feature: Added options ('-m' /
'--attachments' and its counterparts '-M' / '--no-attachments')
to mkvmerge for selecting which attachments to copy and which to
skip and the corresponding controls to mmg.
2009-02-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the detection of AAC files whose first
AAC header does not start on the first byte of the file.
2009-01-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: It was possible to crash mmg by clicking onto the
root element in the chapter editor.
2009-01-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: During time code extraction mkvextract wrote
large time codes in scientific notation.
2009-01-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v2.4.2.
2009-01-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If subtitle files are appended to separate
video files (e.g. two AVI and two SRT files) then the subtitle
time codes of the second and all following subtitle files were
based on the last time code in the first subtitle file instead of
the last time code in the first video file. Fix for bug 325.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Due to uninitialized variables mkvmerge would
report OGM files as having arbitrary display dimensions. Fix for
bug 326.
2009-01-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mmg: enhancement: Implemented MIME type detection for
attachments with libmagic on Windows.
2009-01-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If a Matroska file containing attachments was
used as an input file and splitting was enabled then the
attachments were only written to the first output file. Now
they're written to each output file. Partial fix for bug 324.
2008-12-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Decreased the time mkvmerge needs for
parsing Quicktime/MP4 header fields.
2008-12-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The parser for the simple chapter
format (CHAPTERxx=...) can now handle more than 100 chapters. Fix
for bug 320.
* mmg: bug fix: The commands "Save command line" and "Create
option file" did not save mmg's current state but the state it was
in when the command "Show command line" was last used or when mmg
was started.
2008-12-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a crash (segfault) with MPEG-4 part 2
video if "--engage native_mpeg4" is used. Fix for bug 318.
2008-12-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Windows installer: The installer cleans up leftovers from old
installations during an upgrade. It doesn't write registry entries
for an exe called "AppMainExe.exe" anymore. It asks whether or not
the user wants a shortcut on the desktop. It does not install the
document for base64tool anymore because base64tool itself isn't
installed anymore either. Fixes for bugs 314, 315, 316 and 317.
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed a compilation problem with non-Unicode
enabled wxWidgets. Fix for bug 313.
2008-12-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for reading the pixel
aspect ratio from Theora video tracks.
2008-12-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v2.4.1.
* Build system: bug fix: Configure does not use "uname -m" for the
detection of the Boost libraries anymore but configure's "$target"
environment variable. This fixes the Boost detection for cross
compilation builds. Fix for bug 311. Patch by Dominik Mierzejewski
(see AUTHORS).
2008-12-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: PCM audio tracks bigger than approximately 8
GB were cut off after approximately 8 GB.
2008-12-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge recognizes SRT subtitle files with
time codes that contain spaces between the colons and the digits
and time codes whose numbers are not exactly two or three digits
long.
2008-11-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: mmg processes window events much more often during
muxing.
* all: Updated the language code list from the offical ISO 639-2
standard.
2008-11-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Split time codes with more than three decimals were
not allowed even though the docs say that they are. They are now,
as mkvmerge supports such time codes.
2008-11-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Changed the way mkvmerge calculates the
time codes when appending files. Should result in better
audio/video synchronization.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for reading SRT and SSA/ASS
subtitles from AVI files (fix for bug 64).
2008-11-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge's LZO compressor would segfault if
mkvmerge was compiled against v2 of the LZO library and the v1 LZO
headers were not present.
2008-10-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: SRT subtitle files are also handled correctly
if the time code lines do not have spaces around the arrow between
the start and end time codes.
2008-10-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: Matroska elements with binary data were
output as garbage in XML files.
2008-10-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v2.4.0.
* mmg: bug fix: The chapter editor's function "save to Matroska
file" was corrupting the target file in some cases. Fix for bug
307.
2008-10-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge was only writing one reference block
for real B frames. Patch by Daniel Glöckner. Fix for bug 306.
* all: bug fix: The Windows uninstaller was not removing all start
menu entries during uninstallation on Windows Vista. The installer
now creates the start menu entries for all users instead of the
current user only. Fix for bug 305.
2008-10-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The "language" drop down box contained some
entries twice or more. Fix for bug 304.
2008-10-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Incorrect usage of the iconv library caused
some conversions to omit the last character of each converted
entry (e.g. for the conversion from Hebrew to UTF-8). Fix for bug
302.
2008-09-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: mkvmerge will use the time codes provided
by the MPEG program stream source file for VC1 video tracks.
2008-09-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Reading EVOBs with multiple VC1 video tracks
was broken (all packets where put into a single video track).
2008-09-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: new feature: Added support for handling SimpleBlocks
for time code extraction.
2008-09-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Reading raw (E)AC3 files bigger than 2 GB was
broken.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for Dirac video tracks.
2008-09-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Improved the detection of MPEG-1/-2 and
AVC/h.264 video tracks in MPEG program streams (VOBs/EVOBs).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed reading DTS audio tracks from MPEG
program streams (VOBs/EVOBs).
2008-09-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: Added the extensions "evo", "evob" and "vob"
to mmg's "add file" dialog.
2008-09-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for muxing VC1 video tracks
read from MPEG program streams (EVOBs) or raw VC1 elementary
streams (e.g. as produced by EVODemux).
2008-09-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for 7.1 channel EAC3
files. Fix for bug 301.
2008-09-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Revision 3831 (the change to the "--delay"
and "--sync" options) caused mkvmerge to no longer respect the
delay caused by garbage at the beginning of MP3 and AC3 audio
tracks in AVI files. The time codes of such tracks are now delayed
appropriately again. Fix for bug 300.
2008-09-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Unknown stream types in Ogg files
(e.g. skeleton tracks) don't cause mkvmerge to abort
anymore. They're simply ignored. Fix for bug 299.
* mkvextract: new feature: Added support for extracting Theora
video tracks into Ogg files. Fix for bug 298.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the frame type (key or non-key frame)
detection for Theora tracks.
2008-09-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: all: On Unix/Linux rpath linker flags have been
removed again (they were actually removed before the release of
v2.3.0).
2008-09-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v2.3.0.
2008-09-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: improved the time code calculation for MP3
tracks read from MP4 files. Another part of the fix for bug 165.
2008-09-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge honors the time code offsets of all
streams in a MPEG program stream (e.g. VOB file) fixing
audio/video desynchronization. Fix for bug 295.
2008-08-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Switched from the PCRE regular expression library to
Boost's RegEx library.
2008-08-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: DTS-in-WAV handling (14 to 16 bit expansion)
was flawed. Fix for bug 288.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for Vorbis in AVI (format
tag 0x566f). Fix for bug 271.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for PCM tracks with
floating point numbers (CodecID A_PCM/FLOAT/IEEE). Patch by
Aurelien Jacobs (see AUTHORS).
2008-08-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The fix to the time code handling for AVC
tracks in MP4 files from 2008-04-16 caused certain other MP4 files
to not be read correctly. The video tracks were found, but no
frames were read. Fix for bug 294.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for Ogg Kate
subtitles. Patch by ogg.k.ogg.k@googlemail.com.
2008-08-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mmg: The option "--delay" was removed. The option
"--sync" now only modifies the time codes of a given
track. mkvmerge does not pad audio tracks with silence. "--sync"
works with all track types now, but using a stretch factor other
than 1 with audio tracks might not work too well during
playback. mmg's inputs for "Delay" and "Stretch by" can be used
with all track types. Fix for bug 287.
2008-08-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: mmg outputs a more informative error
message for known but unsupported input file types (e.g. ASF, FLV,
MPEG TS) instead of the cryptic "file identification failed".
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The VobSub reader would sometimes read too
many bytes for a single SPU packet. Part of a fix for bug 245.
2008-05-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Using BZIP2 compression resulted in broken
streams. Patch by Aurelien Jacobs (see AUTHORS).
2008-05-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Improved support for WAV files bigger
than 4 GB which only contain a single DATA chunk and a wrong
length field for this DATA chunk (e.g. eac3to creates such files).
2008-05-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Certain Matroska files with dis-continuous
streams (e.g. subtitles) caused huge memory consumption. Fix for
bug 281.
2008-04-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge will output a proper error message
if it is called with ASF/WMV files instead of detecting other
kinds of streams (e.g. AVC ES streams). Fix for bug 280.
2008-04-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed an assertion in the OGM reader occuring
for OGM files with embedded chapters. Fix for bug 279.
* mkvmerge: all: On Unix/Linux rpath linker flags are added for
library paths given in LDFLAGS and configure's "--with-extra-libs"
options.
2008-04-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed wrong time codes for MP4 files that
contain video tracks with B frames and edit lists. Fix for bug
277. Patch by Damiano Galassi (see AUTHORS).
2008-04-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge will not strip leading spaces in
SRT subtitles anymore.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Tuned the file type detection for MPEG ES
streams. Fix for bug 265.
2008-04-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed writing to UNC paths on Windows. Fix
for bug 275.
2008-03-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for skipping ID3 tags in
AAC and AC3 files. Fix for bug 204.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for DTS-HD (both "master
audio" and "high resolution").
2008-03-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v2.2.0.
2008-02-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for handling AC3 in WAV in
ACM mode.
2008-02-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for reading AC3 from
QuickTime/MP4 files. Fix for bug 254.
2008-02-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for handling AC3 in WAV in
IEC 61937 compatible streams (aka SPDIF mode).
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for WAV files with multiple
data chunks.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a cause for the error message "no data
chunk found" by fixing the skipping of 'fmt ' chunks.
2008-02-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for AAC-in-AVI with CodecID
0x706d as created by mencoder. Fix for bug 266.
2008-02-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Rewrote the OGM reader code. Another part of
a fix for bug 267.
2007-12-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Rewrote the time code application
code. Additionally force the "previous cluster time codes" that
libmatroska uses to the current time code. This seems to get rid of
libmatroska's assertions about the local time code being to
small/big to fit into an int16. It also seems to get rid of some
of mkvmerge's errors about the packet queue not being empty, and
it fixes a couple of crashes with file splitting.
2007-12-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: OGM files with non-Theora video tracks caused
mkvmerge to fail since 2.1.0, or the resulting file was
unplayable. Fix for bug 267.
2007-10-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Accept other Theora header versions than
3.2.0 as long as the major version is 3 and the minor 2. Fix for
bug 262.
2007-09-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: MPEG PS reader: Fixed the resyncing mechanism
during normal reads. Another fix for bug 259.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: MPEG PS reader: mkvmerge tries to resync to
the next MPEG start code in case of error during stream
detection. Fix for bug 259.
2007-08-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: SVQ1 video tracks read from QuickTime files are output
as V_MS/VFW/FOURCC tracks and not as V_QUICKTIME tracks. Fix for
bug 257.
2007-08-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* avilib: bug fix: Fixed a segmentation fault if reading the first
part of an index failed but a second/other index part is
present. Fix for bug 256.
2007-08-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: SRT files that contain coordinates in the
time code line are supported. The coordinates are discarded
automatically (as S_TEXT/SRT doesn't support them), and a warning
is shown.
* Released v2.1.0.
2007-08-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Added support for reading MP2 audio
tracks from OGM files. Patch by Mihail Zenkov (see AUTHORS).
2007-08-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: enhancement: Added support for extracting Dolby
Digital Plus (EAC3) tracks.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: SPS and PPS NALUs are no longer removed from
AVC/h.264 streams. Hopefully a fix for bug 231.
2007-07-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Fixed SSA/ASS detection for files
produced by Aegis Sub which doesn't include a line with '[script
info]' in the file.
2007-07-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: Added another option how mmg choses the
directory if automatic output filename creation is on. Implements
all suggestions as listed in bug 248.
2007-07-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: Moved the complete 'settings' tab to its own
dialog accessible via the 'Settings' option in the 'File' menu.
2007-06-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added a buton 'remove all' which removes all
input files and tracks leaving all other options as they are. Fix
for bug 248.
* mmg: new feature: Added an option for setting the default output
directory if the automatic setting of the output file name is
turned on. Fix for bug 248.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: DTS code: Some tools (e.g. Surcode) can
create DTS files which are padded with zero bytes after each DTS
frame. These zero bytes are now skipped without printing a
warning.
* mmg: enhancement: mmg can now be called with any file name as an
argument. If it ends with 'mmg' then the file will be loaded as a
'mmg settings file'. Otherwise mmg will 'add' it. Fix for bug 243.
2007-06-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The OGM reader uses the OGM's timestamps for
video tracks. Before it would just use the current frame number
multiplied by the FPS.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: The OGM reader now uses the AVC/h.264
video packetizer for AVC/h.264 tracks so that the aspect ratio can
be extracted from it.
2007-06-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fixes: Fixed a couple of memory leaks.
2007-06-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added better checks if two tracks can be
appended to the passthrough packetizer so that tracks that are
otherwise not known to mkvmerge can still be appended
(e.g. V_VC1). Fix for bug 244.
2007-06-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: The NALU size length can now be chosen for all AVC tracks,
not only for those that are handled by the 'AVC ES packetizer'.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The 'default track' flag was set to 'yes' for
tracks read from Matroska files even if 'no' was specified on the
command line.
* mkvextract: new feature: Added support for the 'header removal'
encoding scheme.
2007-06-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: The NALU size length of an AVC/h.264
track can now be changed even if the source is not an elementary
stream (e.g. for MP4 and Matroska files).
2007-06-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Added support for RealAudio v3 in
RealMedia files. Patch by Aurelian Jacobs. Fix for bug 246.
2007-06-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: Moved the command line to a separate dialog and reduced the
main window's height.

2007-04-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the VobSub reader so that "delay:"
lines with negative time codes are accepted. Fix for bug 241.
2007-04-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Improved the file type detection code for
MPEG transport streams.
2007-03-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

separator as well as ",".
2007-03-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a problem with concatenating more than
two subtitle files.
2007-03-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: The MPEG program stream reader will now sort the
tracks it finds first by their type (video > audio > subs) and
then by their stream ID.
* mkvmerge: Disabled the support for DTS tracks in MPEG program
streams because DTS HD is not supported yet.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Implemented a major speed-up for reading
MPEG-1/2 and AVC/h.264 tracks from MPEG program streams.
2007-03-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Fixed the MPEG PS reader so that it will
just skip blocks whose headers it cannot parse instead of
aborting.

program streams.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for EAC3/DD+ (Dolby Digital
Plus) files and tracks (raw EAC3 files or inside Matroska with
CodecID A_EAC3).
2007-02-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v2.0.2.
2007-02-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed suppoert for DTS-in-WAV files which
are encoded with 14 bits per word.
2007-02-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Added support for DTS files which use
only 14 out of every 16 bits and which are not stored inside a WAV
file.
2007-01-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mmg: Changed the default for the "NALU size length" to
"4" and added a warning if "3" is used.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: File type detection for Qt/MP4 files which
start with a "wide" atom has been fixed.
* mmg: bug fix: The "NALU size length" drop down box is now also
enabled for h.264 tracks read from AVIs and for h.264 tracks
stored in "VfW compatibility mode" in Matroska files.
2007-01-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mmg: new feature: Extended the option
"--default-track" so that it can be forced to "off" allowing the
user to create a file for which no track has its "default" flag
set. Fix for bug #224.
2007-01-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the wrong "default duration" if the
user used "--default-duration ...23.976fps".
2007-01-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The AVC/h.264 ES reader was losing frames if
the file size was an exact multiple of 1048576 bytes.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The AVC/h.264 ES packetizer produced invalid
CodecPrivate data if the AVCC did not contain the aspect ratio
information. Fix for Bugzilla bug #225.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The Matroska reader passes the correct track
number down to the AVC/h.264 ES packetizer in the case of "AVC
in Matroska stored in VfW mode".
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a crash (segmentation fault) in the
AVC/h.264 ES handling code.
2007-01-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvextract, mkvinfo: new feature: Added support for
using CodecState for signaling changes to CodecPrivate. It is used
for MPEG-1/-2 video if it is turned on with "--engage
use_codec_state".
2007-01-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v2.0.0.
2007-01-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added another tab for each track in which the
user can add arbitrary track options.
* mkvextract: enhancement: mkvextract will now also print which
container format it uses for each track.
* mkvextract: new feature: Added support for extracting MPEG-1/2
video to MPEG-1/2 program streams.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the file type detection for MPEG-1/2 ES
files with a single frame inside.
2007-01-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: MPEG-1/2 video: The sequence and GOP headers
are not removed from the bitstream anymore. This should fix the
blockiness if the sequence headers change mid-stream. Fix for
Bugzilla bug #167.
2007-01-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: mkvmerge now handles the first frames in
AVC/h.264 ES streams properly, especially for files for which it
did not find a key frame at the beginning in earlier versions.
2007-01-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Improved the detection of AVC/h.264 ES
streams with garbage at the beginning.
* mmg: enhancements to the job management dialog: There's a
minimum width for the columns. The "up" and "down" buttons are
disabled if all entries are selected. Pressing "Ctrl-A" selects
all entries.
* mmg: enhancements: "File -> New" will also focus the "input"
tab.
2007-01-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancements: The job manager can be opened with
"Ctrl-J". The last directory from which a file is added is saved
even if the file identification failed. The automatically
generated output file name uses the extension ".mka" if no video
track is found and ".mks" if neither a video nor an audio track is
found in the first file.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the aspect ratio extraction for raw
AVC/h.264 ES tracks.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If a raw AVC/h.264 ES file does not start
with a key frame then all the frames before the first key frame
are skipped, and mkvmerge does not abort anymore.
2007-01-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: AVC/h.264 ES parser: Fixed wrong NALU size
length information in the AVCC.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: AVC/h.264 ES parser: Fixed the decision if a
NALU belongs to a previous frame or starts a new one.
2007-01-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: Added an input for the new "NALU size length"
parameter.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The NALU size length can be overridden for
AVC/h.264 elementary streams. It defaults to 2 which might not be
enough for larger frames/slices.
2007-01-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Support for AVC/h.264 elementary streams with
short markers (0x00 0x00 0x01 instead of 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x01).
* mkvmerge: Removed the "--engage allow_avc_in_vfw_mode" hack.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Added "x264" to the list of recognized
FourCCs for AVC/h.264 video in AVI and Matroska files.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for proper muxing of
AVC/h.264 tracks in Matroska files that were stored in the MS
compatibility mode (CodecID V_MS/VFW/FOURCC instead of
V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed invalid memory access in the AVC ES
parser.
2007-01-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for proper muxing of
AVC/h.264 tracks in AVI files.
2007-01-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for reading AVC/h.264
elementary streams.
2006-12-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: All inputs and controls are cleared and
deactivated if the user select "File -> New".
* mmg: enhancement: The user can switch between the "generic" and
"format specific options" pages even if no track is selected.
2006-12-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge would not write frame durations if
"--engage use_simpleblock" was used resulting in unplayable and
unextractable subtitle tracks.
2006-12-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Added a workaround for RealAudio tracks for
which the key frame flag is never set.
2006-12-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed a segfault that occured if the user had a
track selected and its the file the track was read from is
removed.
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed the behaviour of a couple of ComboBoxes on
Windows after selecting "File -> New". E.g. if the user selected
"700M" in the "split after this size" ComboBox, selected "File ->
New" and selected "700M" again, then it would not show up in the
command line window until he selected another option and returned
to the "700M" afterwards.
2006-11-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v1.8.1.
2006-11-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Some input controls (like "subtitle charset")
where disabled for appended tracks even though the user can and
sometimes has to change those settings. Fixes Anthill bug 216.
2006-11-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* configure: new feature: Allow the user to tell configure which
"wx-config" executable to use ("--with-wx-config=...").
2006-11-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The "aspect ratio" box was losing its input when
the user switched tracks.
* mkvmerge/mmg: new feature: If ATDS AAC tracks are added to mmg
and the AAC track's sample rate is <= 24000 Hz then mkvmerge and
mmg assume that the AAC is a SBR track and mmg will check the "AAC
is SBR" checkbox automatically.
2006-11-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Quicktime/MP4 files with AVC video tracks and
missing CTTS atoms caused mkvmerge to crash after the recent
changes to the Quicktime/MP4 time code handling.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a segfault if the file specified with
"--attach-file" does not exist. Bugfix for Anthill bug 213 and
Debian bug 393984.
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed a crash on loading XML chapters after having
saved XML chapters.
2006-11-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Made the "set the delay input field from the
file name" feature disengageable.
2006-11-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v1.8.0.
* mkvmerge: Changed the CodecID for AAC audio tracks to "A_AAC" by
default. The CodecPrivate contains the same initialization data
that are stored in the ESDS in MP4 files for AAC tracks. The old
CodecIDs (e.g. "A_AAC/MPEG4/SBR") can be turned on again with
"--engage old_aac_codecid".
2006-11-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: Reworked the "input tab" and split track options into two
sub-pages. Also added an input for the "stereo mode" parameter for
video tracks.
2006-11-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for the "stereo mode"
flag for video tracks.
2006-11-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: For MP4 files with certain CTTS contents
mkvmerge would use negative time codes for a couple of
frames. Those frames were dropped and mkvmerge often ended up
eating huge amounts of memory and crashing afterwards.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: AAC-in-MP4 with the LC profile was sometimes
misdetected as having a SBR extension and an output sampling
frequency of 96000 Hz. Fixes Anthill bug 210.
2006-10-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Added support for API changes in the upcoming FLAC
library v1.1.3. Patch by Josh Coalson (see AUTHORS).
2006-09-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the random number generation on
Windows. On Windows 9x/ME mkvmerge would simply hang. On newer
versions the function was accessing invalid memory and was
generally buggy.
2006-09-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: SSA/ASS subtitles with comments before the
"[script info]" line were not identified.
2006-09-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Made the checks for SRT time codes a bit less
strict (e.g. allow fewer than three digits after the comma).
2006-07-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Comments in OGM files were not handled if
mkvmerge was called in identification mode. One obvious result was
that neither the track language nor the file title was imported
into mmg.
2006-06-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The "stretch" input box was not accepting the same
syntax that mkvmerge's "--sync" parameter accepts.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: PCM audio data with 4 bits per Sample caused
mkvmerge to allocate all available memory. Patch by Robert Millan
(see AUTHORS).
2006-06-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Mixed up two tool tips on the "settings" tab.
2006-06-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Build system: bug fix: Moved some @...@ style variables from
configure.in to Makefile.in where they belong (very recent
autoconf versions were choking on those).
2006-06-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added an option for always using simple
blocks.
* mmg: new feature: Pre-set the "delay" input field for audio
tracks if the file name contains something like "DELAY XX" where
XX is a number.
2006-05-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enchancement: After adding files with drag&drop the next
"open file" dialog will start in the directory the last file came
from.
2006-05-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge will no longer create empty files
(meaning neither input files nor things like chapters etc have
been added).
2006-04-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v1.7.0.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Added support for MIME type detection via
libmagic (patch by Robert Millan with heavy modifications by
myself).
2006-04-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Theora headers were not handled correctly.
2006-04-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The WavPack reader was broken on 64bit
systems (e.g. AMD64).
2006-03-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The Theora time code handling was broken, and
Ogg/Theora files were not identified correctly (they showed up as
"unknown" in mmg).
2006-02-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: The 'adjust time codes' function accepts
time codes like 'XXXXXunit' with 'unit' being 'ms', 'us', 'ns' or
's'.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: mkvmerge will no longer refuse to
concatenate files with differing Codec Private contents and only
issue a warning in such cases.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Quicktime/MP4 reader: Added support for
version 1 media headers ('mdhd' atom) with 64bit fields. Fixed the
duration of the last packet passed downstream. Fixed overflow
issues during re-scaling from the Quicktime/MP4's time scale to
nano seconds used by mkvmerge.
2006-01-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Muxing wasn't working Windows 9x/ME because
mkvmerge was trying to use Unicode file access functions when
determining which directories to create. Fixes Anthill bug #177.
2006-01-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for the "Delay:" feature
and for negative time codes in VobSub IDX files.
2005-12-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: If mmg is set to automatically fill in the
output file name then it will clear the output file name once all
input files have been removed.
2005-12-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed a crash that occured if the user removed an
attachment and clicked somewhere in the empty space in the
attachment list. Occured only on Windows.
2005-12-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Re-added Chinese to the list of popular languages
(those are listed first in the language drop down boxes).
2005-12-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The last change to the ISO 639 language
handling broke the VobSub reader so that it reported the wrong
language codes. This also caused mmg to not display the correct
language after adding a VobSub file.
2005-12-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v1.6.5.
2005-12-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* source: bug fix: Changed the list of ISO 639 languages so that
the terminology versions are converted into the bibliography
versions of the 639-2 codes (e.g. use "ger" instead of "deu" for
the German language). Converted almost all pieces of mkvmerge and
mmg to accept ISO 639-1, 639-2 codes (both bibliography and
terminology versions) and the languages' English names. Those will
always be converted to the 639-2 code. Fixes Anthill bug #171.
2005-12-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The country code used in XML chapter files
was checked against the list of ISO 639-1 codes and not against
the list of ccTLDs. Partial bugfix for Anthill bug #171.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: When appending tracks and using time codes the
time codes were only used for the first track in a chain of
tracks. This has been changed so that you must specify only one
time code file in such cases (e.g. "mkvmerge ... --time codes
0:my_time codes.txt part1.avi +part2.avi"). mmg has already been
working like this. Fixes Anthill bug #162.
2005-12-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* source: new feature: Added support for linking against liblzo2
(same compression algorithm, just a new library version). Patch by
Diego Pettenò (see AUTHORS).
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added a workaround for files created by
Gabest's DirectShow Matroska muxer with slightly broken frame
references. Fixes Anthill bug #172.
* mkvextract: new feature: attachment extraction mode: Made the
output file name optional. If it is missing (e.g. "mkvextract
attachments source.mkv 92385: 124981:") then the name of the
attachment inside the Matroska file is chosen instead. Patch by
Sergey Hakobyan (see AUTHORS).
* mkvmerge: new feature: If an output file name contains
directories that don't exist then they're created. Patch by Sergey
Hakobyan (see AUTHORS) with modifications by myself.
2005-11-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Don't abort reading a Matroska if the next
element is not a cluster. This is the case for e.g. files produced
by Haali's muxer which writes the segment tracks element in
intervals. Fixes Anthill bug #169.
2005-11-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed a problem with the selection of language
codes for chapters in the chapter editor.
2005-11-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If at least or more attachments were present
and the user used --attachment-name for each of them (as mmg does)
then mkvmerge was wrongly outputting a warning about multiple uses
of --attachment-name for a single attachment.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added limited support for edit lists in
MP4/QuickTime files. Fixes Anthill bug #151.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: MP4/QuickTime files which contain another
atom before the 'avcC' atom in the video track headers weren't
correctly remuxed.
2005-11-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge will now refuse to append AVC/h.264
video tracks whose codec initialization data blocks do not
match. Invalidates Anthill bug #163.
2005-11-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a crash If the granulepos (the
time codes) reset in the middle of an Ogg/OGM file. Fixes Anthill
bug #166.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a division-by-zero error in the
RealMedia demuxer. Fixes Anthill bug #161.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a couple of potential (and actual)
segmentation faults by accessing invalid memory addresses. Initial
patch for the VobSub reader by Issa on Doom9's forum.
2005-11-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mmg: new feature: The names of attached files can be
set with a new option --attachment-name or on mmg's "Attachments"
page.
2005-11-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed another bug when appending AVC/h.264
tracks that would mkvmerge cause to die with "bref_packet ==
NULL". Fixes Anthill bug #160.
2005-11-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: When the user saved the muxing output in a log
file that file didn't use Windows line endings (CR LF) on
Windows.
* mmg: bug fix: Appending tracks was broken because the track
numbers in the command line were incorrect. Fixes Anthill bug
#160.
2005-10-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for Ogg/Theora.
2005-10-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Changed the CodecID for AAC audio tracks to "A_AAC" by
default The CodecPrivate contains the same initialization data
that are stored in the ESDS in MP4 files for AAC tracks. The old
CodecIDs (e.g. "A_AAC/MPEG4/SBR") can be turned on again with
"--engage old_aac_codecid".
2005-10-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: new feature: The sub elements of the EBML head are
now shown.
* mkvinfo: new feature: Added support for the new SimpleBlock.
* mkvextract: new feature: Added support for the new SimpleBlock.
* mkvmerge, mmg: new feature: Added support for the new
SimpleBlock instead of BlockGroups (only available via "--engage
use_simpleblock" for now). Patch by Steve Lhomme (see AUTHORS)
with fixes by myself.
2005-10-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v1.6.0.
2005-10-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Implemented the new header removal
compression: compression for native MPEG-4 part 2, decompression
for all types (don't use it yet, folks!).
2005-10-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: Extra codec data wasn't written to AVI
files if it was present (e.g. for the HuffYuv codec). Fixes bug
157.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge was choking on AVIs with a single
frame inside. Fixes bug 156.
2005-09-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Changed how AVC video frames are
referenced. This is not ideal yet, but at least references are
kept intact when reading AVC from Matroska files. Should fix bug
154.
2005-09-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Appending AVC video tracks was broken if they
contained aspect ratio information that the user overwrote on the
command line.
* mmg: bug fix: If a video track was selected that was appended to
another track then the aspect ratio drop down box was still
active.
* mkvmerge: new feature: MPEG-4 part 2 streams are searched for
the pixel width/height values. Those are taken if they differ from
those values in the source container. This is a work-around for
buggy muxers, e.g. broken video camera firmwares writing bad MP4
files. Fixes bug 149.
2005-09-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Appending files with RealVideo was
broken.
2005-09-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvextract: bug fix: ASS files sometimes use a column
called 'Actor' instead of 'Name', but both should be mapped to the
'name' column in a Matroska file.
2005-09-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v1.5.6.
2005-09-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: If the user selected an aspect ratio for a video
track, then chose "File -> new", added a file, selected another
video track and chose the same aspect ratio as before then it
wasn't added to the command line. Fixes Anthill bugs 132 and 146.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Support Qt/MP4 files with 64bit offset tables
('co64' atom instead of 'stco' atom).
2005-09-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: mkvmerge will remove the aspect ratio
information from a AVC/h.264 video track bitstream and put it into
the display dimensions (until now the AR information was kept on
the bitstream level). The reason is that in Matroska the container
AR is supposed to take precedence over bitstream AR, but some
decoder programmers ignore the container AR in favour of bitstream
AR.
2005-08-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: bug fix: The GUI couldn't open files with non-ASCII
chars in the file name.
2005-08-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Display dimensions were reported for all
tracks, even if they weren't present. In that case they allegedly
were "0x0" which caused mmg to add "--display-dimensions ...:0x0"
for each track read from a Matroska file, even if the tracks were
not video tracks.
2005-08-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: The extracted time codes were wrong for
blocks with laced frames.
2005-08-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If a Matroska file with a MPEG-4 part 2 video
track was muxed into a Matroska file and the source file did not
contain the display width/height elements for that track then the
aspect ratio was extracted from the video data itself which
clashes with the Matroska specs which say that display
width/height default to the pixel width/height if they're not
present.
2005-08-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Native MPEG-4 ASP storage was still bugged:
time codes were assigned twice, frames referenced themselves.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Embedded fonts and pictures in a SSA/ASS file
are not discarded any longer. They are converted to Matroska
attachments instead. Other sections that were discarded are added
to the CodecPrivate data as are "Comment:" lines in the "[Events]"
section. Those comment lines still lose their association for
which "Dialogue:" line they were meant, but that cannot be
changed.
2005-08-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: --delay was not working at all.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Single digit numbers followed by 's' were not
recognized as valid numbers with a unit (e.g. in '--delay 0:9s').
* Released v1.5.5.
* mkvtoolnix: Disabled storing AVC/h.264 video tracks in VfW mode.
2005-08-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvtoolnix: bug fix: On Windows the command line output was
terminated with CR CR NL instead of just CR NL.
2005-08-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The Quicktime/MP4 reader wasn't skipping
unknown elements correctly.
2005-08-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: new feature: Added a new extraction mode for
outputting time codes in a time code v2 format file. It is called
"time code_v2" and takes the same arguments as the "tracks"
extraction mode.
* mkvinfo: new feature: Added a command line switch
"--output-charset" which sets the charset that strings read from
Matroska files are output in (e.g. if you want the output in UTF-8
and not your system's local charset).
* mkvinfo: new feature: Added a command line switch "-o" for
redirecting the output to a file (for systems which re-interpret
stdout).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The combination of using external time code
files and video tracks with B frames was not working as
intended. The user had to order the time codes in the time code file
just like the frames were ordered (meaning the time codes for a
IPBBP sequence with 25 FPS had to be "0", "120", "40,
"80"...). This has been fixed. They have to be ascending again and
mkvmerge will assign them properly.
2005-08-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: new feature: Added support for extracting h.264 /
AVC tracks into proper h.264 ES streams supported by
e.g. MP4Box. Patch by Matt Rice (see AUTHORS).
2005-07-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: bug fix: Files with non-ASCII chars weren't opened
because conversion to UTF-8 was done before the charset routines
were initialized.
2005-07-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a crash if a track in a MP4/QuickTime
file did not contain a STCO atom (chunk table) but a STSC atom
(chunk map table).
2005-07-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Very large values were not kept correctly for
a lot of elements (meaning they were truncated to 16 or 32 bits).
* mkvinfo: bug fix: Very large values were not displayed correctly
for a lot of elements (meaning they were truncated to 16 or 32
bits prior to displaying).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: AVC/H.264 references were wrong, and muxing
of AVC from Matroska files with proper references resulted in
unplayable files.
2005-07-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed support for USF subtitles stored in
UTF-16 and UTF-32. Added support for USF subtitles stored in UTF-8
without a BOM.
2005-07-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v1.5.0.
2005-06-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The track language read from old Matroska
files was wrongfully set to "und" if it was not written although
the specs say that "eng" is the default value.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: USF subtitles: If identical tags were nested
(e.g. "font") and both were closed right after each other then the
result looked like "</font/>".
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Native MPEG-4 was not working if read from
OGM files.
2005-06-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added an input box for mkvmerge's new "split
after these time codes" feature.
2005-06-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fixes: Improved the native MPEG-4 generation a lot
(thanks to Haali for testing and pushing me). The codec version
string inside the MPEG-4 initialization data is now checked if it
indicates "DivX packed bitstream" and changed to not indicate it
anymore.
2005-06-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: If mmg was minimized when it was closed (e.g. with
Windows' "Show desktop" function) then it didn't show up after a
restart and could only be shown by maximizing it.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If a OGM style chapter file contains empty
chapter names ('CHAPTER01NAME=' without something after the '=')
then this chapter's time code is used as the name instead of
aborting.
2005-06-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added splitting after specific
time codes.
2005-06-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvinfo, mkvextract: bug fix: Inifite sized segments
were not handled correctly.
2005-05-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: On Windows mmg could be crashed by adding a file
and clicking into the empty space in the "track" selection
box. Fixes Anthill bug 133.
* mkvextract: new feature: Implemented the extraction of USF
subtitles.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Implemented the muxing of USF subtitles.
2005-05-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: The MPEG packets are now padded to 2048
byte boundaries as some programs require them to be. Patch by
Mike Matsnev (see AUTHORS).
2005-05-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: bug fix: Removed the restriction of max. ten levels of
nested elements.
* mmg: bug fix: If splitting was enabled and "splitting by time"
selected and the user chose "new" from the "File" menu then
"splitting by time" was not selectable anymore. This happened
only on Windows. Fixes Anthill bug 131.
2005-05-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: Use the native newline style when
extracting text subtitles (\r\n on Windows and \n on all other
systems).
* mkvextract: bug fix: SSA/ASS text was missing in the output if
the "Format=" line contained newlines at the end of the
CodecPrivate data (e.g. our old Mew Mew sample file).
2005-05-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for the ChapterSegmentUID
element.
2005-04-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Support WAV files that use other RIFF chunks
than the usual "fmt " followed by "data".
2005-04-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Remuxing MPEG1/2 tracks resulted in a failing
"assert(0)".
2005-04-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v1.4.2.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: In rare occasions involving B frames mkvmerge
freed data too early. In such a case it was eating more and more
memory finally exiting with a message about not finding a packet
for a "bref".
2005-04-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: bug fix: My output functions did not work on AMD64
systems. Fixes Anthill bug 120.
2005-04-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: new feature: Added the extraction of the raw
data with the "--raw" and "--fullraw" flags. Patch by Steve Lhomme
(see AUTHORS).
* mkvextract: bug fix: WAVPACK extraction did not update the
"number of samples" header field. Patch by Steve Lhomme (see
AUTHORS).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: RealMedia files contain a "FPS" field in
their track headers. Unfortunately this field does not always
contain the actual FPS of a video track but the maximum number of
FPS that the encoder has output or should output. Therefore
mkvmerge does not use a "default duration" element for RealVideo
tracks anymore. Fixes Anthill bug 113.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Failing calls to posix_fadvise upon adding a
file to mmg caused mmg to think that the file identification
failed. Now warnings for posix_fadvise are not output anymore, and
posix_fadvise is silently switched off for that file. Fixes
Anthill bug 123.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Appending files that were created with
mkvmerge's "--link" option was broken. The time codes for both the
chapters and the actual media data blocks were not adjusted
correctly. Fixes Anthill bugs 115 and 116.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If chapters are present in several appended
files and there were atoms who shared the same UID then those
entries were present multiple times in the output files. Now such
entries are merged into one chapter entry. Fixes the second part
of Anthill bug 122.
2005-04-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If chapters were present and splitting was
enabled then mkvmerge would not treat chapters correctly that
spanned across several files. Now the spanning chapters are kept
in all files, and their start time codes are adjusted accordingly.
Fixes the first part of Anthill bug 122.
2005-03-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: bug fix: On Windows mkvinfo was linked without the
console subsystem resulting in no output at all if run without the
GUI (-g). Fixes Anthill Bug 118.
2005-03-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Due to the compiler doing some strange number
conversion mkvextract seemed to hang on Windows with certain
files.
2005-03-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Appending VobSubs with more than one track in
a .idx file and video files at the same time was broken resulting
in parts of some of the VobSub tracks not ending up in the
resulting Matroska file. Fixes Anthill bug 114.
2005-03-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The track numbers were assigned wrongly when
appending tracks (this is more or less cosmetic).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Splitting by time was broken for audio-only
files. Fixes Anthill bug 112.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The --fourcc switch was not working.
2005-03-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Tracks that were not selected on saving the
settings file were selected after loading a settings file.
2005-03-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v1.4.1.
2005-03-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: AC3 detection was broken in rare cases.
2005-03-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: If the TEMP environment variable contains spaces
then the calls to mkvmerge when adding files failed.
2005-03-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Extracting the FPS from some AVC MP4 files
did not work.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Appending + splitting was segfaulting if used
together and at least one split occured after a track has been
appended.
2005-03-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Added more descriptive error messages if two tracks
cannot be concatenated because "their parameters do not match".
2005-02-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: A failing call to posix_fadvise will only
turn its usage off for that one file and not abort mkvmerge
completely.
* mmg: bug fix: When "appending" a file all tracks where added to
the end of the track list making it unnecessarily difficult to
concatenate similar structured files. Now the tracks from the
"appended" files are inserted into the track list after their
counterparts from the file this new one is appended to.
2005-02-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: An "appended" file could not be removed if there
were two tracks that we not separated by a track from another file
in the track list box.
* mmg: bug fix: The check whether or not a file might be
overwritten while splitting is active has been fixed.
* mmg: bug fix: Improved the word wrapping of the tooltips on
Windows.
* mmg: bug fix: It was possible to select a file for appending
even though no file was added first.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge was wrongly outputting large numbers
of warnings when Remuxing AVC/h.264 video from a Matroska file.
* mmg: bug fix: The job queue was not loaded on startup on Windows
Unicode builds (another wxWidgets 2.5.3 problem).
2005-02-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The job status in the job runner dialog was broken
on Unicode builds on all systems.
* mmg: bug fix: "Splitting by time" was not selectable on Windows
Unicode builds (problem with wxWidgets 2.5.3).
* mmg: bug fix: mkvmerge's output during muxing was not converted
from UTF-8.
* mmg: bug fix: The default extension added when the user doesn't
give one is different in wxWidgets 2.4.x and 2.5.x. It should
always be .mkv and not .mka.
* Released v1.4.0.
2005-02-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: The "default track" checkboxes are set
properly when a Matroska file is added.
* mmg: new feature: Added a warning right before the muxing starts
if the chapter editor contains entries but no chapter file has
been selected (can be turned off).
2005-02-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: new feature: Added VobSub extraction based on Mike
Matsnev's code.
2005-02-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Track names could not be set to be empty.
2005-02-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v1.0.2.
2005-02-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Use the posix_fadvise function on *nix
systems. This results in a considerable speed up for the whole
muxing process. As the function call seems to be buggy on at least
Linux kernels 2.4.x it can be disabled completely during
configure. It will only be used on Linux with a kernel from the
2.6.x series or newer.
2005-02-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Empty video frames in AVIs right at the
beginning were breaking the MPEG-4 aspect ratio extraction and
caused problems in other parts, too.
2005-01-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: It was possible to create chapter entries with
invalid or even empty language entries. Not only are those
invalid, such XML files can also not be loaded by mmg.
* mmg: bug fix: Overwriting a chapter file did not erase the
previous file. So if the previous file was bigger than the current
chapters then garbage remained at the end of the file.
2005-01-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge did not accept XML chapter files
created with older mkvtoolnix versions due to deprecated chapter
elements. Such elements are now skipped.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added some more possible formats for
binary data in XML files besides Base64 encoded data: hex encoded
and ASCII "encoded".
2005-01-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The "stretch" input box tooltip was wrong. The
resulting command line was broken, too.
2005-01-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Hex values accept more formats (like
optional white space between numbers or the "0x" prefix).
2005-01-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Changed the AVC/h.264 time code handling to include the
time code offsets from the CTTS atom.
2005-01-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: Reformatted the HTML guide and updated the screenshots. It
should be more readable for those whose desktop is not 1200 pixels
wide.
2005-01-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Made the mkvmerge GUI guide available by
pressing F1 or selecting "Help" from the "Help" menu.
2005-01-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: ASS/SSA extraction was broken in some rare
cases.
2005-01-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added support for mkvmerge's new "appending
tracks" feature.
2004-12-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for reading the pixel
aspect ratio from AVC/h264 video data.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added AVC/h264 muxing from MP4.
2004-12-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added a MPEG PS demuxer.
* mkvinfo: new feature: Added a couple new elements (silent
tracks). Patch by Steve Lhomme (see AUTHORS).
2004-12-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: new feature: Added WAVPACK4 extraction. Patch by
Steve Lhomme (see AUTHORS).
2004-12-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added WAVPACK4 muxing. Patch by Steve
Lhomme (see AUTHORS).
* mmg: bug fix: Again the window handling. Hopefully this is
better than the other attempts.
2004-12-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added VobButton muxing. Patch by Steve
Lhomme (see AUTHORS).
2004-12-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: One was able to crash mmg by pressing 'ok' in the
muxing dialog right after muxing finished, especially if the
'abort' button was hit before. This mostly happened on Linux.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed negative audio displacement for a
couple of formats.
2004-12-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v1.0.1.
2004-12-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: Fixed some layout issues with wxWidgets 2.5.3 and newer.
2004-12-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: The window position is saved and restored when
mmg is started the next time.
2004-12-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed a crash/memory corruption showing weird
characters in the input boxes. This happened when the user removed
a file from mmg while mmg was updating the command line.
* mmg: bug fix: mmg now has an icon associated with it while it is
running instead of the generic Windows application icon (Windows
only).
* mmg: bug fix: The main window is now minimized during
muxing. This allows to hide both of the windows while muxing is
running and restoring them later, even if they were iconized when
muxing finished (Windows only).
2004-11-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The first packet of an AAC track read from
Real containers might not start at the time code 0. This offset was
ignored by mkvmerge.
2004-11-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Made the muxing dialog ("mkvmerge is running")
modal all the time. This prevents the user from hitting the main
window's minimize button. On Windows this makes mmg stuck in
iconized mode if it was iconized when muxing finished.
2004-11-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a buffer overflow in the UTF-8 file
reading routines.
2004-11-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Implemented concatenating files with chapters.
* mkvmerge: Changed the "progress" output. It's now correct for
file concatenation, too.
2004-11-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v1.0.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Concatenating/appending files is now
possible. A lot of things aren't tested, and others simply don't
work yet (chapter merging, duplicate tag elimination, proper
progress report, support in mmg just to name a few), but the basic
functionality seems to work.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The Matroska reader doesn't insist on having
a default duration ( = FPS) for video tracks in the "AVI
compatibility mode" ( = with the CodecID "V_MS/VFW/FOURCC"). This
enables re-muxing of Matroska files created from MP4 files.
2004-11-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: File names with non-ASCII characters were not
working if mmg was compiled against a Unicode enabled wxWidgets.
2004-11-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added reading DTS from AVIs and from
Matroska files.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: A variable initialization was missing which
very recent gcc versions (3.4.2) did not like very much. Also
fixed a small compilation bug.
2004-10-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The handling of external time code files was
still not correct but should be OK now.
2004-10-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: Added an error message if the user selects 'mmg' as the
'mkvmerge executable' because that would lead to an infinite
number of 'mmg's being spawned.
2004-10-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If LFE is on for DTS then the number of
channels is one more than what the DTS frame header says.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Time Codes for Vorbis were wrong on rare
occasions (when reading laced Vorbis from a Matroska file and
changing the lacing, e.g. when splitting for the second and all
following files).
2004-10-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge/mkvinfo/mkvextract: bug fix: The chapter and tag
element tables were not always intialized correctly depending on
the compiler and the optimization flags used.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The OGM reader was broken if at least one
track was not to be copied from the file (happened between 0.9.5
and 0.9.6).
* mmg: bug fix: After loading saved mmg settings the track input
box listed the tracks always coming from the last input file and
not from the one they really came from.
2004-10-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: Made mmg's main window properly resizable.
* mkvmerge: Rewrote the code for the external time code files. This
also fixes bug 99: The durations for the individual tracks were
not correct for those tracks for which --time codes was used.
2004-10-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Crash when saving chapters from the chapter
editor. Same as the mkvinfo issue below but on all OS.
* mkvinfo: bug fix: The chapter and tag element tables were not
initialized on Windows resulting in a crash when one of those
elements was encountered.
2004-10-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.9.6.
* mkvextract: bug fix: The track extraction was creating the
output file twice if the Matroska file contained a copy of the
track headers. This resulted in the first extracted file being
overwritten at the end of extraction.
* mmg: bug fix: If the file title is read from an input file, not
modified by the user and that input file is removed again then the
file title will be unset.
2004-10-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Converted the raw FLAC reader to use
another interface to the FLAC libraries. This results in a speedup
of up to 50%. Thanks to Josh Coalson for telling me about its
existence.
2004-10-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added two warnings. One about invalid
track IDs that were used on the command line but that don't
correspond to an available track in a file and one if no track
will be copied from a source file. Both warnings hint at bad
command line arguments.
2004-10-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Only write the segment duration as a 64bit float if
there is no video track present. This way users won't have to
update their DirectShow filter/apps for most files. Only
audio-only files need this precision anyway.
* mkvmerge: Changed the Ogg/OGM reader to use the stream number
and not its serial number as the track ID (meaning the track IDs
will be 0, 1, 2... etc. instead of the random numbers oggenc uses
as the serial numbers).
2004-09-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: The CUE sheet parser now accepts INDEX
lines with indices from 00 up to 99 and implements the Red Book
specification for audio CDs that way. Patch by Vegard Pettersen
<vegard_p at broadpark adot no>.
2004-09-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvextract: bug fix: ASS was handled like SSA which is
not correct in each case, especially when extracting it.
* mkvextract: bug fix: The WAV writer was not endian safe.
2004-09-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The charset was not set correctly on Solaris.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge crashed when reading Matroska files
that contain an empty tag list.
2004-09-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Some Matroska files that e.g. have had their
time codes offset with the Matroska Stream Editor or other means
may contain time codes that caused mkvmerge to print a warning
about "time code < last_time code". A new fix implements a
workaround and a warning message with a proper explanation for
this case.
2004-09-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Older Matroska files containing chapters
caused mkvmerge to abort muxing.
2004-09-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge was only copying the last tag of a
list of tags applying to a track from a Matroska file.
2004-09-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge will show a nice warning if the
entries in a SRT have non-continuous timestamps. It'll also sort
the entries by their start timestamp instead of throwing the
generic "time code < previous time code" warning.
* mmg: bug fix: The 'Matroska file analysis' window that occurs
when reading chapters from a Matroska file did not disappear if it
was minimized when the process finished.
2004-09-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added a new parameter
--aspect-ratio-factor.
* mkvinfo: bug fix: Strings from chapters and tags were shown in
UTF-8 instead of the local charset. This bug was introduced around
2004-08-28.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Not all chapter elements were copied
correctly from a source Matroska file.
2004-09-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: Sped up the extraction of attachments, chapters,
cuesheets and tags by using the seek head information and not
parsing the full file each time.
2004-09-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The Matroska reader was not handling very big
cluster time codes correctly. Those can occur when the time code
scale factor is very small.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Empty clusters in Matroska files no longer
make mkvmerge think that file has been read completely.
2004-08-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for MP2 (and maybe MP3)
audio in MP4 containers.
2004-08-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: The chapter and tag parsers accept XML
element attributes instead of sub-elements for those sub-elements
that only contain data. Example for a "simple tag":
<Simple Name="ARTIST" String="Tori Amos"/>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The automatic MIME type detection based on
the file name extension was using the file name extension as the
MIME type.
2004-08-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvinfo: new feature: Added the four new PixelCrop
elements.
* mkvmerge, mkvextract, mkvinfo: new feature: Added
'TargetTypeValue' as a supported tagging element.
* mkvmerge, mkvextract, mkvinfo: Complete rewrite of the chapter
and tag parsing and output functions. Additions will be much
easier now.
* mkvmerge, mkvextract, mkvinfo: feature removed: Dropped support
for the very old and deprecated tagging system. No one used it
anyway.
2004-08-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Allow the use of two-letter ISO639-1
country codes in for the '--language' parameter. Those will be
converted to the corresponding ISO639-2 language code
automatically.
2004-08-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvinfo, mkvextract: new feature: Added support for
the 'TargetType' tag element (which I meant to add before the
0.9.5 release...).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The MP3 handling was broken on weird and rare
occasions when reading MP3 from a Matroska file.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Removed a bogus warning about an attachment's
MIME type having been given more than once.
2004-08-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.9.5.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: WAV files which contained a 'PAD ' chunk
before the 'data' chunk were not processed at all.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Use 'setjmp' and 'longjmp' Instead of
throwing a C++ exception during the chapter parsing
stage. Otherwise libexpat will abort with a non-descriptive error
message on Windows.
2004-08-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: SSA/ASS subs with the old codec ID 'S_SSA'
and 'S_ASS' were accepted, but their codec ID was kept. It is now
correctly changed to 'S_TEXT/SSA' and 'S_TEXT/ASS'.
2004-08-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvinfo, mkvextract: new feature: Added support for
the new 'EditionFlagHidden', 'EditionFlagDefault' and
'EditionManaged' elements.
* mkvmerge: Added 'EditionUID' to valid elements below '<Targets>'
in XML tags. Fixed the creation of the 'Targets' with
--global-tags and --tags.
2004-08-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvinfo, mkvextract: Added support for the new tag
elements ('tag language' and 'default/original language').
* mkvmerge: new feature: If there was no MIME type given for an
attachment then mkvmerge will try to guess it based on the file's
extension just like mmg.
2004-08-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvextract, mmg: Changes to the chapter
handling. EditionUIDs are always created. mkvextract outputs
EditionUIDs and ChapterUIDs normally. mkvmerge tries to keep
EditionUIDs and ChapterUIDs but replaces them if they aren't
unique.
2004-08-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The 'down' button on the 'input' tab was not
working correctly in all cases.
2004-08-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo, mmg: bug fix: Fixed compilation with Unicode enabled
versions of wxWidgets.
2004-08-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Try to guess whether tags read from OGM
files (for automatic language tag setting and for copying chapter
information) are already in UTF-8 or not. If not try to convert
them from the current system's charset.
2004-08-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: use the same UID for the EditionUID in the
chapters and in the tag targets when parsing a CUE sheet.
2004-08-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge/mkvextract: new feature: Use the new EditionUID entries
when convert CUE sheets to chapters and tracks. This is in
preparation for 'multiple CDs to single Matroska file'
conversions.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Abort muxing if the output file name is
the same as the name of one of the input files.
2004-08-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Implemented sample-precision for
timestamps and durations on audio only files.
* mkvextract: bug fix: The CUE extraction wrote UTF-8 characters
but no UTF-8 BOM (byte order marker) at the beginning.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Handle TTA files with ID3 tags correctly ( =
skip the ID3 tags).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: There was an illegal free() in the OGM
reader.
2004-07-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: The subtitle track extraction used the wrong
duration in 0.9.4.
2004-07-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: new feature: Limited support for extracting chapters
as CUE sheets that haven't been created by using a CUE sheet with
mkvmerge's "--chapters" option.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Block durations with 0s length (e.g. entries
in a SSA file) were not written.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The FLAC packetizer gets the duration
from the FLAC packet itself.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The word 'TAG' occuring in e.g. SRT subs
caused the ID3/MP3 frame detection to be stuck n an endless loop.
2004-07-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.9.4.
2004-07-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: new feature: Added support for extracting TTA tracks
to TTA files.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: SRT file recognition failed if the file
contained spaces at the end of the first line.
2004-07-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: new feature: Implemented the extraction of chapter
information and tags as a CUE sheet which is the reverse operation
to using a CUE sheet with mkvmerge's '--chapters' parameter.
2004-07-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Broken VobSub .idx files which contain
timestamps going backwards no longer crash mkvmerge. A warning
will be printed for such inconsistencies.
2004-07-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The Matroska reader contained a nice little
illegal memory access (introduced in 0.9.3 with the fixes to the
'default track' handling).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The SSA reader was segfaulting if a line
contained an empty text field.
* mmg: new feature: Added support for the two flags 'hidden' and
'enabled' in the chapter editor.
* mkvmerge: new feature: The pregap from a CUE sheet is converted
into two sub-chapters (one for "INDEX 00", one for "INDEX
01"). These sub-chapters have their 'hidden' flag set.
* mkvinfo: bug fix: Fixed compilation for MATROSKA_VERSION = 2.
* mkvinfo: bug fix: Fixed compilation with gcc 3.2.
2004-07-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The CUE sheet parser interpreted a timestamp
as HH:MM:SS (hours, minutes, seconds). The correct spec is
HH:MM:FF (hours, minutes, frames with 1 frame = 1/75 second).
* Released v0.9.3.
* mmg: bug fix: The 'default track' checkbox was broken.
2004-07-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Using '--cues ...:all' was broken for audio
tracks that use lacing.
2004-07-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The latest OpenDML AVI files generated by
mencoder were not read correctly. Only the first RIFF chunk was
processed.
2004-07-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: If the user does not specify a --language for a track
'und' ('undefined') will now be used instead of 'eng'. The
user can use the new option '--default-language' to change that.
2004-07-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: When using a CUE sheet as a chapter file
mkvmerge will automatically convert some of the entries to tags.
2004-07-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The default track feature did not work
correctly with the new --track-order.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for TTA lossless audio
files.
2004-06-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.9.2.
* mmg: Updated the mkvmerge GUI guide to reflect changes and
additions.
2004-06-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added 'minimize' buttons to the two 'mkvmerge
is running' dialogs.
* mmg: new feature: Added an option for automatically calling
'File -> new' after a job has been added to the job queue.
2004-06-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: Video extraction was not working correctly
on big endian systems.
2004-06-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The job manager did not always catch all of
mkvmerge's output, especially if a job failed.
2004-06-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mmg: new feature: --track-order now controls the track
creation order globally, meaning that it isn't used for each file
but only once. This allows the tracks to be created in ANY order
(before it was first ordered by file, then by track). For mmg this
means that the track list contains all available tracks and that
there are no 'up' and 'down' buttons in the file list anymore.
* mmg: new feature: Line wrap the tooltips on Windows.
* mmg: new feature: Suggest a name for a new job based on the
output file name.
* mmg: new feature: Temporarily disaable 'always on top' if the
muxing or the job dialog are visible.
* mmg: new feature: Ask for confirmation before adding a job if
there's already an old job with the same description.
* mkvmerge: new feature: You can specifiy the time after which to
split with ms precision.
2004-06-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The functions 'move up', 'move down' and 'delete'
in the 'job' dialog were not working correctly on Windows.
2004-06-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed more of that 'garbage at the beginning
of MP3 streams' issue.
2004-06-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The 'always on top' option was ignored when
starting mmg.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Reading of broken / unfinished AVI files was
broken on Windows.
* Released v0.9.1.
* mkvmerge: Dropped supoprt for 'aviclasses' (one of the two
libraries for accessing AVI files). This mostly affects the
Windows users as I've used aviclasses and not avilib on Windows so
far. The 0.9.0-pre-builds so far haven't shown any problems,
though, so I hope this doesn't break anything.
* mmg: bug fix: The job manager did not handle the conversion
of non-ASCII characters correctly.
* mmg: new feature: The action 'delete job' in the job manager
will also delete the file in the 'jobs' subdirectory.
2004-06-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added an option to make mmg stay always on
top (only on Windows).
* mkvmerge: new feature: mmg will set the 'display dimensions'
automatically for AVI files whose video track is MPEG4 and has the
pixel aspect ratio stored in the bitstream.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The improved MP3 garbage detection was broken
resulting in an error message from mkvmerge in some weird
situations.
2004-06-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Matroska tracks can use lacing (several
frames inside one Matroska block with only one time code for the
whole block). mkvmerge did not recreate the time codes for the
frames 1..n in the lacing correctly.
2004-06-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: feature removed: Dropped support for 'time
slices'. They were not used, didn't offer the player any
additional value and caused massive increase in overhead.
* mmg: new feature: Added a dialog for adding arbitrary command
line options which includes a list of advanced options to chose
from.
2004-06-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The OGM fix in 0.9.0 broke handling for
non-broken OGM files a bit.
2004-06-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for the audio/video
synchronization method used by NanDub (garbage at the beginning of
audio tracks inside an AVI) for AC3 and MPEG audio tracks. In
other words: If an AVI is read and an audio track contains garbage
right at the beginning then the corresponding audio delay is
calculated and used instead of simply discarding the garbage.
2004-06-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Enabled reading MPEG4 video from MP4
files (nope, they're not stored in Matroska's native mode yet).
2004-05-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.9.0.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Improved handling for OGM files. Streams that
are lacking the comment packet are handled better.
2004-05-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Some MP3 streams are padded in the front with
trash (mostly those in AVI files). This trash might contain valid
MP3 headers which do not match the remaining headers for the
actual track. Both the MP3 reader and the MP3 packetizer can now
skip up to one of those bogus headers in the trash.
2004-05-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: On some occasions the chapter editor thought there
was no language associated with a chapter name and complained
about that.
* mmg: Removed the 'advanced' tab. Those options shouldn't be used
anyway.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The OGM reader was not endian safe.
2004-05-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Rewrite of the VobSub handling code.
2004-05-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The chapter editor did not honor the values
selected for 'country' and 'language'.
2004-05-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Audio sync for Vorbis was partially broken
for positive offsets.
2004-05-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: Fix for compilation with wxWindows < 2.4.2.
* Released v0.8.9.
* mmg: new feature: mmg will ask for confirmation before
overwriting a file. This can be turned off on the settings tab.
2004-05-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Implement drag'n'drop of files onto the input,
attachment and chapter tabs. For the input and attachment tabs it
works like pressing the 'add' button. On the chapters tab it works
like calling 'Chapter Editor -> Open'.
2004-05-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo/mmg: Enabled compilation with wxWidgets 2.5 and Unicode
enabled builds of wxWidgets.
2004-04-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: Increased the precision for time codes in chapter files to
nanoseconds (optionally, you can still use fewer digits after the
'.').
2004-04-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Fixes for compilation with gcc 3.4.
2004-04-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Some strings read from RealMedia files were
not zero-terminated resulting in broken track recognition for some
files.
2004-04-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.8.8.
* mkvtoolnix now depends on libebml 0.7.0 and libmatroska 0.7.0.
2004-04-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: bug fix: mkvinfo was forcing libmatroska not to handle
unknown elements and crashed on those.
2004-04-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: When adding Matroska files the video track's
display dimensions are displayed as well.
2004-04-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Implemented reading AAC from AVIs.
2004-04-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The Flac packetizer was accessing
uninitialized memory resulting in a crash on Windows.
* avilib: bug fix: Fixed compilation on big endian systems.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the handling of RealMedia files with
'multirate' tracks (again).
2004-04-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: On some rare occasions chapters were not
written correctly when splitting was active.
2004-04-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: On non-Windows systems some combinations of
wxWindows and GTK caused continuous 100% CPU usage after a special
call to wxExecute.
2004-04-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.8.7.
2004-04-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: new feature: Added a terse output format via '-s'.
2004-03-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: If using MPEG4 video and no aspect
ratio or display dimensions are given mkvmerge will extract the
aspect ratio information from the stream and automatically set the
display dimensions accordingly.
2004-03-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Using audio sync on AC3 tracks read from
Matroska files did not work.
2004-03-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: new feature: Added extraction of RealAudio and
RealVideo tracks to RealMedia files.
2004-03-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added a 'job queue'. The current settings can
be added as a new job, and all pending jobs can be started for
batch processing without user interaction.
2004-03-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.8.6.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: OGMs created by Cyrius OGMuxer are missing
comment packets for some streams which mkvmerge choked on.
2004-03-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge/mmg: bug fix: The LANGUAGE and TITLE comments from OGM
files were not set in the GUI when adding such files.
2004-03-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: If the FourCC was set for one track it had been
used for each track you selected as well.
* 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
time codes 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 time code 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 time code 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 time code 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
time code 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 time code 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 'time codes' 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 time code reader code and made it a bit more
flexible. Added more documentation for this feature along with an
example file (examples/example-time codes.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 time code 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 time codes from
text files which override the time codes 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
time codes 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 time code 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
time codes. It does now. Reported by alexnoe.
* mkvmerge: Proper support for dropped frames when reading AVI
files. Reported by alley_cat, Horváth István.
* 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,
KaxVideoColourSpace, KaxVideoGamma, KaxVideoFlagInterlaced,
KaxVideoStereoMode, KaxVideoAspectRatio, KaxClusterPosition,
KaxClusterPrevSize, KaxBlockVirtual, KaxBlockAdditions,
KaxBlockMore, KaxBlockAddID, KaxBlockAdditional,
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>
* Released v0.6.0.
2003-07-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

the file written).

for the SRT and SSA/ASS readers.
2003-07-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

file(s).

(KaxAttachments, KaxAttached, KaxFileDescription, KaxFileName,
KaxMimeType, KaxFileData).

* 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.

* 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).

* mkvinfo: Added support for the rest of the tags:
KaxTagMultiComment, KaxTagMultiCommentName,
