Versie 7.9.0 van MKVToolNix is uitgekomen. Met deze verzameling opensourceprogramma's kunnen Matroska-bestanden worden bekeken, bewerkt en geconverteerd. Zo kunnen geluidssporen en ondertiteling worden toegevoegd, verwijderd of juist als standaard worden ingesteld. Het zijn afzonderlijke commandline-tools, maar er wordt een grafische gebruikersinterface meegeleverd. Versies kunnen worden gedownload voor Windows, een groot aantal Linux-distributies en OS X. In deze release zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
Released v7.9.0.
- build system: configure will now check for Qt by default. If at least v5.2.0 is found then the Qt versions of mkvinfo’s GUI and the new mkvtoolnix-gui will be enabled. You can affect this detection with the options
--disable-gui
(turns off all GUIs; works the same as before),--disable-qt
(will compile the wxWidgets GUI for mkvinfo and mmg) and--without-mkvtoolnix-gui
(will compile the Qt version of mkvinfo’s GUI but no mkvtoolnix-gui).- mkvinfo: bug fix: mkvinfo would exit with the wrong return code (0 instead of 2) if a non-existing file name had been given. Fixes #1182.
- mkvmerge: Two more characters are now escaped in the container and track properties output in verbose identification mode: [ is replaced with \b and ] with \B. This is needed for reliable parsing by other programs, e.g. GUIs.
- MKVToolNix GUI: new feature: added context menu entries for tracks: »select all«, »enable all« and »disable all«.
- MKVToolNix GUI: new feature: implemented aborting the currently running job.
- all: fix compilation on Mac OS in common/command_line.cpp due to boost::range::filtered requiring a copyable functor. Fixes #1175.
- all: fix compilation on Mac OS in common/version.cpp due to wrong usage of std::stringstream and ostream operators. Fixes #1176.
- MKVToolNix GUI: new feature: implemented the »additional command line options« dialog.
- MKVToolNix GUI: new feature in the chapter editor: added features »set the language/country of the selected chapter and its sub-chapters«.
- all: bug fix: fixed compilation with Boost 1.58.0. Fixes #1172.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a segmentation fault during cleanup after Ctrl+C was pressed. Fixes #1173.
- MKVToolNix GUI: new feature in the chapter editor: added features »clamping time stamps of sub-chapters to their parent’s time stamps«, »expanding time stamps of chapters to encompass their sub-chapters’ time stamps« and »shifting start and end time stamps by an offset«.
- all: permanently removed the build times tamp from the version information and the corresponding configure option.
- MKVToolNix GUI: new feature: the main window’s size, position and state (maximized/minimized) is saved on exit and restored on startup.
- MKVToolNix GUI: new feature: the GUI is now fully translatable. The German translation has been completed for the GUI, too.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: fixed
--sync
not doing anything if--default-duration
is used for the same track, too.- mkvmerge: bug fix: fixed aborting file identification with an error message about »aac_error_protection_specific_config« that happened for some files. Fixes #1166.
- MKVToolNix GUI: new feature: implemented changing the interface language.
- MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: implemented often used subtitle character sets.
- MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: implemented setting a user configurable subtitle character set by default.
- MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: implemented the automatic removal of jobs configurable by the user.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: fixed specifying track properties like language or name for AC3 cores embedded in TrueHD tracks when they’re read from raw thd+ac3 files. Fixes #1158.
- mkvmerge: enhancement for MPEG program stream handling: mkvmerge will only look for additional files automatically if the source file begins with »VTS_…« and just if it ends in a number. E.g. when reading »video_1.mpg« another file called »video_2.mpg« will no longer be read automatically. Implements #1164.
- MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: display country names in addition to country codes.
- MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: implemented often used languages and country codes.
- MKVToolNix GUI: chapter editor enhancement: implemented defaults for the language and country settings for newly created chapter names.
- MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: added controls for mkvmerge’s »reduce audio to its core« and »force NALU size length« features.
- MKVToolNix GUI: new feature: implemented the »Preferences« dialog (not all of the functionality the options refer to has been implemented yet, though).
- mkvmerge: bug fix: MPEG-1/2 parser: fixed a long-standing issue that prevented mkvmerge from recognizing certain MPEG-1/2 video tracks and files if the frame’s sequence numbers didn’t follow a certain expected pattern. Fixes #1162 and probably others like #1145 or #1099.
- MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: Implemented adding and append files and adding files as additional parts via drag & drop from external applications.
- MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool bug fix: fixed the column headers on the »attachments« tab.
- MKVToolNix GUI: chapter editor enhancement: implemented opening files via drag & drop from external applications.
- MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: The portable Windows version will store its settings in a file in the same folder instead of the registry.
- MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: Qt’s »Windows Vista« style is now used on Windows instead of the old, Windows 98-like »Windows« style.
- MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: The merge tool has been re-written to be tabbed like the header and chapter editors allowing for multiple merge job settings to be open at the same time.
- MKVToolNix GUI: chapter editor enhancement: implemented re-ordering chapters and editions with drag & drop.
- MKVToolNix GUI: new feature: implemented the chapter editor.
- MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: implemented adding attachments via drag & drop from external applications.
- MKVToolNix GUI: new feature: implemented the header editor.
- mkvmerge: enhancement: Implemented proper type output during identification for DTS-ES (extended surround) tracks. Implements #1157.
- MKVToolNix GUI: new feature: implemented the online update check.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: The calculation of the width and height of h.265/HEVC video tracks did not take the conformance window (cropping) into account. Fixes #1152.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the value of the DocTypeVersion header field if any of the Matroska elements CodecDelay, DiscardPadding or SeekPreRoll is used. This is the case for Opus tracks.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the handling of E-AC3 tracks in M2TS files if the AC3 core and the extension are stored in separate packets.
- mkvmerge: new feature: Implemented support for the DTS-HD container format.
- mkvmerge: new feature: Implemented support for core-less DTS streams consisting solely of XLL extension sub-streams.
- mkvmerge: new feature: track selection can be done by language codes as well. Affects the options
--audio-tracks
,--button-tracks
,--subtitle-tracks
and--video-tracks
. Works only for containers that actually provide a language tag. Implements #1108.- source code: bug fix: Accidental uses of the »long double« type have been converted to normal »double«s. This fixes compilation on platforms which don’t support the »long double« type in combination with Boost::Math. Fixes #1150.
