When I use the -collapse and -sp switch, I get a 3:33 second long MKV which is the same duration from the first play_item. OK, good. But for this mpls the -collapse option should not be used. Why not? If the 00001.m2ts file is only used once, then all other data for the following PlayItems will be ...

When I use the -collapse and -sp switch, I get a 3:33 second long MKV which is the same duration from the first play_item. OK, good. But for this mpls the -collapse option should not be used. Why not? Yes, it looks like DGDemux should only use data from the INtime to the OUTtime for each play_item....

Hi Rocky.

I had many work today and I will test and answer at night.

Hi Rocky I have started the download for the Blu-ray and I think It is a good time to bring up this issue. I will provide the disc chunk which I got, so you can have a first look over it. The important mpls files are 00006 and 00005. Both mpls files uses the 00001.m2ts file. Mpls 00005 has only one ...

By default, MTX uses a value of 1,000,000 for the TimeStampScale and this means that there is only millisecond precision for the timestamps. [etc.] ....1ms granularity does seem too large to me. Yes, I feel that way too. It has always bothered me a little that the chapters are handled with nanoseco...

To read one thread with all the bugs and feature requests is a bit cumbersome. Could we have for each issue and feature request it's own thread like the other DG-tools? We did implement this for the bugs/problems but I forgot to cite hubblec4 for the suggestion. Worse never than late, that's the sa...

Yesterday I had a little time and looked at everything again and asked myself whether this was actually the only part (Chapter 22) that was causing problems. Here are my latest findings: There is a hidden chapter after chapter 3(second edition). I then made this visible (and all other hidden chapter...

Yes, I also think that I will install the first variant first, since it does not change the data in the MKV. And you won't notice the "loss" of one video frame when watching the film. But doing the whole thing automatically and all the time isn't necessarily always a good thing. Because I already ha...

I'm still interested to know your final solution. At the moment I haven't reached a final solution yet, I only have rough ideas in my head as to how and where I could incorporate this into cE. I have two methods in mind: 1. The chapter times are shifted by one video frame. 2. The audio timestamps a...

That's right, there's a piece of text missing somehow. In principle, this is the case with almost every Cluster because the audio timestamps never match the video timestamps exactly. However, it is not a problem when playing linearly, and there may be annoying noises during jumps, but the user has f...

OK, I'm going to blow your mind now. Accept my apologies in advance. :wow: ..... We've seen several possible "fixes". I leave it to you to choose the one that satisfies archiving needs and is not too difficult to implement. Yes you are right, the Audio for the extras is not linear stored and for th...

cE is a really great application. Congratulations! Thank you for kind words. So you're a Pascal guy, huh? Curly wants to port eac3to to the latest Lazarus. He might be asking your advice about that. Yes, I'm a Lazarus (FreePascal) guy :-) Best programming language in my opinion. I'm happy to help w...

Interesting. I'm sure you will take into account the maximum audio frame size that might be encountered per SomeHumanPerson . Probably that will be automatic if you do per-cluster adjustments. Please keep us informed of your progress. I then thought again about moving the entire timestamp using a d...

@ hubblec4 Would you consider the need for this adjustment more a deficiency of the Matroska specification or of the Matroska players? I would say neither. I think it's more due to the muxing tool. So MTX could make sure that when the input file changes, the timestamps for the audios are also adjus...

I'm finish with the 5ms delay for the video.
I can't hear any difference between the -5ms Audio delay MKV.

The first video frame is now behind the Audio frame, but this is not a problem for a good Matroska player.
If I remember correct there are test files on the Matroska GitHub for this case.

@ hubblec4 "Actually, the playing time of the MKV should have the highest value of all the tracks used." Should, hehe. I made an MKV by just doubling the streams so it was 4 hours+. Then I applied the original chapters file and opened it in MPC-HC. The reported duration is always the same as the en...

Thank you hubblec4 for one of the most amazing threads we've ever had.

You are welcome, and I do what I can.
And all this is only the beginning of Matroska Chapters, there are Linked-Ordered-Chapters and Linked-Edition-Ordered-Chapters

Wow, Mr hubblec4. We never knew that you were a big-wig. Lucky we were nice to you, huh?

Thank you very much. But I'm just a tiny light compared to Mosu and Steve.

I feel very comfortable here with you.

In the Matroska team we ... What team is that and are you on it? I am a member of the Matroska team, we develop Matroska. So the specifications also include the EBML and Matroska libs. The whole thing is then “reported” to the IETF team. https://github.com/ietf-wg-cellar/matroska-specification

Here's what is going on. ...... Wow, I'm at a loss for words. What a great analysis and the nice thing is, I know exactly what you're talking about. Just Matroska language :-) You're absolutely right, there is only one Cluster timestamp and all tracks are based on that, and the Cluster timestamp is...

The method: 1. Demux 00800.mpls with the three extras using DGDemux as before. 2. Load the demuxed streams into MTX. 3. Set a delay of -5 ms for both of the audio streams. This not enough to be perceptible. 4. Load the chapter file from cE. 5. Run the multiplex operation. That's it. Have fun. I hav...

Well I figured out cE. Looks like cE always puts the extra files at the end. :cry: Yes, this was/is necessary so that the first edition plays normally in all players which don't understand ordered chapters. I am worried that the timestamps for the extras are beyond the claimed duration of the MKV. ...

just came online and am reading everything you wrote. Please wait a moment.

Has anyone discussed this with the MPC-HC or LAV Filters dev(s)?

I got since years no answer from LAV when I ask for Matroska stuff.
clsid do only bug fixing and very small enhancements, so I guess multi-Edition stuff will be ignored.
