Raw Blame History

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 timecodes 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:
timecodes 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 timecodes in a timecode v2 format file. It is called
"timecode_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 timecode
files and video tracks with B frames was not working as
intended. The user had to order the timecodes in the timecode file
just like the frames were ordered (meaning the timecodes 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 timecodes" 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 timecode is used as the name instead of
aborting.
2005-06-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added splitting after specific
timecodes.
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 timecodes 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 timecodes 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 timecode handling to include the
timecode 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 timecode 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 timecode 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: Timecodes 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 timecode files. This
also fixes bug 99: The durations for the individual tracks were
not correct for those tracks for which --timecodes 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
timecodes offset with the Matroska Stream Editor or other means
may contain timecodes that caused mkvmerge to print a warning
about "timecode < last_timecode". 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 "timecode < previous timecode" 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 timecodes correctly. Those can occur when the timecode
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 timecode for the
whole block). mkvmerge did not recreate the timecodes 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 timecodes 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
timecodes by a fixed amount.
2004-02-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Splitting by size would sometimes abort
directly after opening the second file.
2004-02-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Splitting by time was broken.
2004-02-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* all: A couple of changes that allow compilation on MacOS X.
* avilib: synchronized with transcode's current CVS version.
2004-02-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.8.4.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: When reading Matroska files the durations
attached to blocks were lost (e.g. for subtitle tracks).
2004-02-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.8.3.
2004-02-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: The LANGUAGE, TITLE tags and chapters are
being kept when reading OGM files.
* mkvmerge: Changed the meaning of '--global-tags'. They now apply
to the complete file.
2004-02-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: VobSub durations were not converted from ms
to ns precision resulting in VERY short packets :)
2004-02-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The change from ms to ns precision broke
subtitle handling from OGM.
2004-01-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Made "do not link files when splitting" the default,
just like in mmg.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Enabled reading of AAC from OGMs.
* mkvmerge: The VobSub reader will not discard packets that exceed
a certain size (64KB) anymore.
* mkvmerge: Improved some internal memory freeing decisions. This
should help with files/sections in which are only few keyframes.
2004-01-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Changed the two-pass splitting into a one-pass
splitting. The resulting files will always be a little bit larger
than the desired size/length, but this shouldn't matter.
2004-01-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Segfault when using external timecode v1
files.
2004-01-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: Rewrote the chapter editor. It now makes a lot more sense:
You can have multiple names for one chapter entry, and for each
name there's only one language/country association.
2004-01-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The AAC-in-Real stuff again.
2004-01-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Changed the complete timecode handling from ms
precision to ns precision. Expect some things to be broken by
this change.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a couple of memory leaks, especially in
the QuickTime/MP4 parser.
2004-01-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: Added some more extensions for RealMedia files.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Proper handling for AAC read from RealMedia
files (sample rate/output sample rate were not assigned
correctly).
* Released v0.8.2.
2004-01-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The PCM handling was broken resulting in
packets that did not end on sample boundaries.
2004-01-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: AVIs with uncompressed sound were leading to
buffer overflows.
* mkvmerge/mmg: allow the track names to be empty so that you can
remove them when muxing Matroska files. Same for the file title.
* mkvmerge: new feature: The track headers will be rendered
completely including the elements that are set to their default
values. Causes less confusion and allows the setting of e.g. the
track language without having to remux the file completely.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If remuxing a file that contains frames with
a reference to the same timecode those references were lost
turning such P frames into I frames. This was the case for some
RealAudio stuff.
2004-01-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Automatically pre-set the attachment's MIME
type if the file has a known extension (e.g. 'text/plain' for
'.txt').
* mkvmerge: new feature: Unknown/unsupported track types can be
copied 1:1 from Matroska input files.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added proper support for
AAC-inside-RealMedia files.
2004-01-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Write cues for audio-only files as well
(not more than one cue entry during a two seconds period).
2004-01-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The default track flags could not be
overriden on the command line when reading Matroska files.
* Windows binaries after v0.8.1 require a new runtime DLL
archive. Please download it from
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/ Thanks.
2004-01-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added the two new chapter flags 'hidden'
and 'enabled'.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added a new format for the external
timecode files.
2004-01-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The VobSub handling was on occasion putting
SPU packets for the wrong MPEG stream into the current stream
resulting in that particular entity not being displayed.
2004-01-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.8.1.
2004-01-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The I/O classes were not initialized
correctly on Windows resulting in spontaneous strange error
messages, especially when muxing VobSubs.
2004-01-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: For some special atom sizes in Quicktime and
MP4 files the size was not read correctly. This affected
e.g. files created by Nero Digital.
2004-01-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Segfault when muxing some video formats due
to unchecked data (includes RealVideo).
2004-01-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.8.0.
2003-12-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed the "write chapters to Matroska file"
feature.
* mmg: bug fix: Made mmg not abort but only display an error
message when malformed XML chapter files should be loaded.
2003-12-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The timescodes for Vorbis were calculated one
packet too early (meaning that the first packet did not start at
0).
* mmg: Made "don't link" ON by default because some players might
have problems with the second and all following files if they
don't expect them not to start at 0.
* mkvmerge, mkvextract, mkvinfo: Added support for the new tagging
system.
* mmg: bug fix: The default values for the chapter language and
chapter country are now applied when loading simple (OGM) style
chapter files as well.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The VobSub packetizer will assume MPEG2 if no
MPEG version identifier was found ("Unsupported MPEG version:
0x00...").
2003-12-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: There are MP4 files that actually contain HE-AAC but
don't have the 5 byte identifier. mkvmerge will also assume SBR if
there's only the 2 byte identifier with a sampling frequency <
44100Hz.
2003-12-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: Wrong display output and illegal memory
access when extracting FLAC files.
2003-12-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: If one added a Matroska file and the track name or
language of a track consisted of only blanks then mmg would
segfault.
2003-12-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: The input box will automatically select the first track
when a file is selected. Upon track selection the input focus is
set to the track name input box.
* mmg: The chapter editor automatically focuses the chapter name
input box whenever a chapter entry is selected.
* mmg: bug fix: The chapter editor did not properly escape the
chapter names resulting in invalid XML files if the special
characters &, < or > were used.
2003-12-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If splitting was active then a wrong CodecID
was written to the second and all following files for MP2 tracks.
2003-12-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.7.9.
2003-12-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Set the thread priority to BELOW_NORMAL on Windows
(mkvmerge was already nice(2)'d on Unix systems).
* mmg: bug fix: Removed the Ctrl-v and Ctrl-c accelerators that I
used for mmg functions which overrode the usual 'paste' and 'copy'
functionality.
* mmg: Command line arguments are put into an option file which is
then handed over to mkvmerge. This allows really long command
lines, even on Windows.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Negative track IDs in Ogg files were reported
incorrectly for mkvmerge -i (which affected the GUI).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Internal changes had messed up the --language
and --track-name functionality.
2003-12-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added "up" and "down" buttons for the tracks,
too.
* mmg: new feature: Added a menu option, 'set output file', that
can be used as an alternative to the "browse" button at the bottom
(for those poor users with nothing more than 800x600 ;)).
* mkvmerge: new feature: The user can alter the order in which the
tracks for an input file are put into the output file with the new
"--track-order" option.
* mmg: bug fix: The "AAC is SBR" check box was grayed out for AAC
inside MP4 files.
2003-12-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The "load settings" function did not load all
settings, and some strings were not allocated at all resulting in
a crash when a track was removed after loading these settings.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The AAC packetizer was not working if packets
were being read from a raw AAC file (it worked fine from MP4 and
Matroska files).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Avoid deadlocks when parsing broken SPU
packets from VobSubs.
* mmg: new feature: Added buttons for moving input files up and
down in the input file box.
2003-12-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.7.8.
* mmg: new feature: You can set the values for the language and/or
country codes for a chapter and all its children with the push of
one button (the new "Set values" button).
* mmg: new feature: You can set default values for the language
and the country codes in the chapter editor (Chapter menu -> Set
default values).
2003-12-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Display dimensions were sometimes off by one,
e.g. 640x479 instead of 640x480. This should not happen anymore
for sane pixel dimensions.
* mkvmerge: Changed the options '--fourcc' and
'--aspect-ratio'. They now take a track ID just like all the other
track specific options.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added an option '--display-dimensions'
which allows the direct setting of the display dimensions. It is
mutually exclusive with '--aspect-ratio', of course.
2003-11-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The language combo box was not correctly set on
Windows.
2003-11-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Added an option for dumpig all split points including
file size and timestamp information after the first splitting
pass.
2003-11-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Quotes were missing if the timecode file's name
contained spaces.
2003-11-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Rewrote the SPU packet parsing code. It should not
abort anymore.
* everything: Committed a lot of cross-OS compatibility fixes
(thanks to Haali and thedj).
2003-11-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.7.7.
* mkvextract: Added extraction of FLAC to raw FLAC or OggFLAC
files.
* mkvmerge: Added full support for FLAC (both raw FLAC and OggFLAC
are supported, even though raw FLAC is very slow).
2003-11-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: Added an input field for the 'CUE sheet to chapter name'
conversion format.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Reworked the audio sychronization which did
not work correctly for Matroska source files.
2003-11-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Increased the size of the space reserved for
the first meta seek element (see mkvmerge.1 for an
explanation). In some situations (with tags, chapters,
attachements and very big file) it might not have been enough in
order to contain all elements.
2003-11-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: Added an input field for the 'timecodes' file to the track
options.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: When reading MP3 audio tracks from a Matroska
file with the A_MS/ACM CodecID (MS compatibility mode) the layer
was not identified correctly.
* mkvmerge: Improved the file type detection for AC3 and AAC files
a bit.
* mkvmerge: Implemented a lot of fixes for big endian systems and
processors that don't allow non-aligned memory access for word or
bigger sized objects.
* mmg: Made mmg accept return codes of 1 when 'mkvmerge -i' is run
when an input file is added. This way mmg won't reject mkvmerge's
output if mkvmerge only printed some warnings which will result in
a return code of 1 instead of 0.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If running in identification mode (-i, used
by mmg a lot) then don't output any warnings or mmg will not
accept this file.
2003-11-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: CUE sheets can be used for chapters.
2003-11-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Added support for --sync for VobSub tracks.
* mkvtoolnix: Re-worked the configure script. Removed all the lib
specific --with-...-include and --with-...-lib options. The
--with-extra-includes and --with-extra-libs options can be used
instead.
2003-11-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: When a file is being added then some information from it
(languages, track names, file title) are kept, and the appropriate
input boxes are pre-set with these values. Works only for formats
that support such information (Matroska, VobSub).
* mkvmerge: Sped up the reading of VobSub .idx files.
2003-11-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.7.5.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The VobSub .idx parser was dividing by 0 if
a track only contained one entry.
* mkvmerge: Fixed the timecode reader code and made it a bit more
flexible. Added more documentation for this feature along with an
example file (examples/example-timecodes.txt).
* mmg: bug fix: When 'default track' is selected then all other
tracks of the same type will have their 'default track' flag
cleared.
* mkvmerge: SPU packets belonging to the same timecode are grouped
together, and the duration is extracted directly from the SPU
stream.
2003-10-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: The VobSubs are now stripped of the MPEG program
stream, and only the SPU packets are kept.
2003-10-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvextract: The Matroska reader and the OGM reader
(mkvmerge) as well as mkvextract will discard empty or 'cleaning
only' subtitle packets as they are appear in OGMs in order to mark
the end of an entry.
2003-10-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added the ability to read timecodes from
text files which override the timecodes mkvmerge calculates
normally.
2003-10-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: Add all the mandatory elements when
extracting chapters so that the resulting XML can always be used
directly with mkvmerge again without having to manually add
e.g. ChapterLanguage.
* mkvmerge: bug fix; Handle audio tracks from Matroska files with
the CodecID A_MS/ACM correctly.
2003-10-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Changes to use libmatroska's new lacing code.
2003-10-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The VobSub .idx parser was mis-calculating
the subtitle entry frame sizes.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The Vorbis packetizer was miscalculating the
number of samples to add/remove when using audio sync.
2003-10-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added a new menu entry "File -> new" which
will clear all the current muxing settings.
* mmg: Added support for VobSub subtitles including their
compression options. Added the .m4a extension to the 'add file'
dialog.
* mmg: bug fix: Made the input boxes for file names (tags and
chapters) editable so that their contents can be deleted.
* mkvmerge: Adjusted the compression handling to the final content
encoding specs.
2003-10-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Implemented generic support for frame
compression (mostly useful for VobSub subtitles but could also be
used for others) and the complete framework for handling content
encodings in the Matroska reader.
2003-10-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: new feature: Dump unknown elements recursively.
2003-10-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Made the SRT reader more tolerant regarding
empty lines.
2003-10-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.7.2.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If 'no linking' and splitting was active
mkvmerge would abort on the start of the second output file due to
timecodes that were calculated incorrectly.
* mkvmerge: Implemented some speedups for a couple of container
formats and track types (mainly AVI reader, MP3/AC3/AAC
packetizers). Especially noticeable when splitting is active as
well.
2003-10-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: Support for extracting SBR AAC (previous
'fix' did not actually fix this).
* mkvextract: bug fix: All extracted subtitles where written to
the first output file given, not to the one they were supposed to
be written to.
2003-10-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The 'abort' button was doing nothing under
Windows.
2003-10-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Audio, video and subtitle track selection was
translated into the wrong command line options.
* mkvmerge: Replaced the avilib based AVI reading functions with
AVI classes from Cyrius.
2003-10-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.7.1.
* Added a guide for mmg including some pictures.
2003-10-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Changed the lacing strategy again. New defaults are
NOT to write duration elements for all blocks, NOT to use time
slices and to USE lacing for most audio tracks. This will save
some space. The downside is that the laced frames 'lose' their
precise timecode information. Current demuxers don't care and will
work nevertheless. More sophisticated applications that make use
of these advanced information (duration elements, time slices) are
not available at the moment. All these options can be toggled by
the user with the new/modified options --disable-lacing,
--enable-durations and --enable-timeslices.
2003-09-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Attachments are kept when reading
Matroska files.
2003-09-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: Added a (nearly) full-featured chapter editor.
2003-09-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: XML chapters were not parsed correctly.
2003-09-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix/new feature: Rewrote the complete MP3
handling. Now files with ID3 tags (both v1 and v2) are handled
correctly. All MPEG-1 audio files (all layers) should be handled
correctly now.
2003-09-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: new feature: Support for extract HE-AAC tracks to
.aac files. Bug fix: Missing elements (default values) are handled
correctly for audio tracks.
2003-09-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bugfix: If attachments were given with path components
then the path component wasn't discarded for the attachment's
description on Windows (normally only the file name should be used
as the attachment's name).
* mmg: Fixed wrong order of the options --chapters,
--chapter-language and --chapter-charset.
2003-09-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: Added a lot of checks on the data given by the user so that
invalid data is reported by mmg and not by mkvmerge.
* mmg: Made the app a GUI app which gets rid of the "DOS box" on
Windows.
2003-09-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bugfix: Moved the aspect ratio and FourCC input fields from
the global tab to the input tab where they belong to.
* mkvmerge: new feature: RealAudio can be read from Matroska
files.
* mkvmerge: bugfix: RealVideo was not read correctly from Matroska
files.
* mkvmerge: bugfix: The SRT reader would abort if there was more
than one empty line between subtitle entries line.
* mkvextract: bugfix: Proper BOMs are written according to the
desired charset when extracting text subtitles.
* Released v0.7.0.
* mkvextract: Add an UTF-8 BOM to extracted SSA/ASS and SRT
subtitle files. Print warnings for missing durations for text
subtitle tracks.
2003-09-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Added a complete GUI for mkvmerge, mkvmergeGUI (mmg) based on
the work of Florian Wagner.
2003-09-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Support for setting the track names.
* mkvmerge: For Matroska source files: If the source contains
chapters then these are kept unless the user specified chapters
with --chapters.
2003-09-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Implemented an experimental VobSub reader and
packetizer. No specs exist for these yet, though.
* mkvmerge: Improved the support for Matroska files with tracks
with big gaps between entries, e.g. subtitle tracks whose entries
are a minute or more apart.
* mkvmerge: When splitting is active and the source is a Matroska
file then splitpoints were borked, and the first pass was slow as
your average mole.
* mkvmerge: The track UIDs are kept when reading Matroska files
even when splitting is active.
2003-09-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Added a QuickTime/MP4 reader. Can handle several
QuickTime video and QuickTime audio formats as well as AAC (both
'normal' AAC and SBR AAC).
2003-09-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: DisplayWidth and DisplayHeight are kept intact when
reading from a Matroska file but can be overridden with
--aspect-ratio.
2003-08-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Wrote documentation, XML examples and the DTD for the XML
chapter files.
* mkvinfo: Rewrote mkvinfo to use libebml's Read() function
instead of manually reading each and every element.
* mkvmerge: Added support for XML based chapter files.
2003-08-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.6.5.
2003-08-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: On Windows the 'isspace()' function used to trim
leading and trailing white spaces from tags considered some parts
of valid UTF-8 character sequences to be white spaces as
well. Fixed by replacing 'isspace()' with 'isblank()'. Reported
by Liisachan.
* mkvmerge: Support for chosing the charset and language used in
simple chapter files. Suggestion by Liisachan.
* Rewrote the UTF-8 conversion routines. They should now handle
U+8000 characters correctly. Reported by Liisachan.
* mkvmerge: Real reader: For RV40 the actual dimensions were also
used for the aspect ratio/display dimensions. This has been fixed:
the actual dimensions are used for PixelWidth/PixelHeight, the
dimensions stored in the RM container are used for the aspect
ratio/DisplayWidth & DisplayHeight. Reported by Karl Lillevold.
2003-08-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.6.4.
* mkvextract: Support for re-creating dropped frames when
extracting video to an AVI. Works only well if the frame durations
in the source file are multiples of the frame rate, of course.
* mkvmerge: The MP3 packetizer did not start at 0 with its
timecodes. It does now. Reported by alexnoe.
* mkvmerge: Proper support for dropped frames when reading AVI
files. Reported by alley_cat, Horv<72>th Istv<74>n.
* mkvmerge: Fixed some missing default values in the Matroska
reader (e.g. mono audio files). Reported by Liisachan.
2003-08-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Improved all command line parsing error messages.
* mkvmerge: Improved the error message for the XML tag file parser
if an invalid &-sequence is found.
* mkvextract: Strings are postprocessed so that the special
characters &, <, >, " are replaced by their HTML equivalents
&amp;, &lt, &gt; and &quot;.
2003-08-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Disabled lacing by default and renamed --no-lacing to
--enable-lacing. With all the proper info about the laced frames
lacing is actually producing larger files than without lacing.
* mkvmerge: Meta seek element is split into two elements. The
first's located at the start of the file containing only a small
number of level 1 elements. The clusters are referenced in a
second meta seek element located at the end of the file. Removed
the options "--meta-seek-size" and "--no-meta-seek". Added the
option to disable that second meta seek entry,
"--no-clusters-in-meta-seek".
2003-08-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: Backwards compatibility: Accepts S_SSA and S_ASS as
valid CodecIDs (new CodecIDs are S_TEXT/SSA and S_TEXT/ASS).
* mkvmerge: Bugfix: If a subtitle packet was the last packet in a
cluster then its duration was not written resulting in a broken file.
2003-08-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo: Added support for the following elements:
KaxPrevFilename, KaxNextFilename, KaxTrackFlagEnabled,
KaxTrackName, KaxCodecName, KaxCodecSettings, KaxCodecInfoURL,
KaxCodecDownloadURL, KaxCodecDecodeAll, KaxTrackOverlay,
KaxAudioPosition, KaxAudioOutputSamplingFreq, KaxVideoDisplayUnit,
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>

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

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

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