* build system: Fixed building the Qt version of mkvinfo's GUI (again).
* 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
* 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.
* 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.
* all: Added a translation for the programs into Turkish by ßouЯock.
* 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.
Changes:
- mkvmerge: enhancement: Added support for MIME type detection via
libmagic (patch by Robert Millan with heavy modifications by
myself).
- mkvmerge: bug fix: Theora headers were not handled correctly.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: The WavPack reader was broken on 64bit
systems (e.g. AMD64).
- mkvmerge: bug fix: The Theora timecode handling was broken, and
Ogg/Theora files were not identified correctly (they showed up as
"unknown" in mmg).
- mmg: enhancement: The 'adjust timecodes' function accepts
timecodes 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.
- 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.
- mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for the "Delay:" feature
and for negative timecodes in VobSub IDX files.
- 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.
- 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.
- mmg: bug fix: Re-added Chinese to the list of popular languages
(those are listed first in the language drop down boxes).
- 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.
Changes:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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>.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: Older Matroska files containing chapters
caused mkvmerge to abort muxing.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge was only copying the last tag of a
list of tags applying to a track from a Matroska file.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for MP2 (and maybe MP3)
audio in MP4 containers.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- mkvmerge, mkvinfo, mkvextract: new feature: Added support for
the 'TargetType' tag element
- 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.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
Changes:
- add patch to fix compilation when MATROSKA_VERSION is set to 2 or bigger.
Patch sent to Moritz Bunkus and it's fixed in svn repo.
- take MAINTAINERSHIP
0.9.3:
======
- mmg: bug fix: The 'default track' checkbox was broken.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: Using '--cues ...:all' was broken for audio tracks
that use lacing.
bug fix: The latest OpenDML AVI files generated by mencoder
were not read correctly. Only the first RIFF chunk
was processed.
bug fix: The default track feature did not work correctly
with the new --track-order.
new feature: When using a CUE sheet as a chapter file
mkvmerge will automatically convert some of the
entries to tags.
new feature: Added support for TTA lossless audio files.
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.
Changes:
- explicitly disable wxWindows support
- mark it as using c++
- prepare for mmg import
- delint
0.8.9:
======
- mmg: new feature: mmg will ask for confirmation before overwriting
a file. This can be turned off on the settings tab.
- 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'.
- mkvinfo/mmg: Enabled compilation with wxWidgets 2.5 and Unicode
enabled builds of wxWidgets.
- all: Increased the precision for timecodes in chapter files to
nanoseconds (optionally, you can still use fewer digits after
the '.').
- mkvmerge: Fixes for compilation with gcc 3.4.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: Some strings read from RealMedia files were not
zero-terminated resulting in broken track recognition for some
files.
Changes:
0.8.8:
======
- mkvtoolnix now depends on libebml 0.7.0 and libmatroska 0.7.0.
- mkvinfo: bug fix: mkvinfo was forcing libmatroska not to handle
unknown elements and crashed on those.
- mmg: new feature: When adding Matroska files the video track's
display dimensions are displayed as well.
- mmg: bug fix: On non-Windows systems some combinations of wxWindows
and GTK caused continuous 100% CPU usage after a special call
to wxExecute.
- mkvmerge: new feature: Implemented reading AAC from AVIs.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: The Flac packetizer was accessing uninitialized
memory resulting in a crash on Windows.
- mkvemrge: bug fix: Fixed the handling of RealMedia files with 'multirate'
tracks (again).
- mkvmerge: bug fix: On some rare occasions chapters were not written
correctly when splitting was active.
- avilib: bug fix: Fixed compilation on big endian systems.
0.8.7:
======
- mkvinfo: new feature: Added a terse output format via '-s'.
- 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.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: Using audio sync on AC3 tracks read from Matroska files
did not work.
- mkvextract: new feature: Added extraction of RealAudio and RealVideo tracks
to RealMedia files.
- 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.
Matroska files.
MKVtoolnix is a set of tools to create, alter and inspect Matroska files.
With these tools one can get information about (mkvinfo) Matroska files,
extract tracks/data from (mkvextract) Matroska files and create (mkvmerge)
Matroska files from other media files.
