Download MKVToolnix 5.1.0
MKVToolnix has been updated to version 5.1.0. MKVToolnix is a collection of open source programs that allow viewing, editing, and conversion of Matroska files. For example, unnecessary audio tracks and subtitles can be removed or set as default. They are separate command line tools, but a graphical user interface is included. Versions are available for download for Windows, many Linux distributions, and Mac OS X. This release includes the following changes and improvements:
Changes in version 5.1.0:
- mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed bogus huge timecodes sometimes occurring for AVC/h.264 video tracks read from MPEG transport streams.
- all: enhancement: Made all EXEs declare their required access level privileges for Windows’ User Access Control.
- mmg: enhancement: Made mmg DPI-aware on Windows (tested up to 144 DPI).
- mmg: bug fix: mmg will append “.xml” to the file name entered when saving from the chapter editor if no extension was given.
- mkvinfo: bug fix: Improved skipping broken data on all operating systems.
- mkvmerge, mkvextract: bug fix: Skipping broken data in Matroska file often caused the program to abort on Windows. This has been fixed so that processing continues after the broken part. Fix for bug 668.
- examples: Added XSLT 2.0 stylesheets in the “examples/stylesheets” directory for turning Matroska chapters into cue sheet and split points for “shntool” (useful for situations in which you have eg a live recording from a concert including chapters and want to create one audio file per song).
- mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed reading VC1 video tracks from Matroska files that don’t use VC1 start markers (0x00 0x00 0x01 …).
- mmg: enhancement: Added “ogv” to the list of known file extensions for “Ogg/OGM audio/video files”. Implementation bug 667.
- mmg: bug fix: A utility function for breaking a line into multiple ones was accessing invalid memory in rare situations causing mmg to crash. Could happen eg when adding a job to the job queue.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge will use DTS instead of PTS for VC1 video tracks read from MPEG transport streams.
- build system: Boost’s “Range” library is now required.
- build system: Boost v1.46.0 or newer is now required. As a consequence included copies of some of Boost’s libraries have been removed (foreach, property tree).
- build system: The C++ compiler must now support several features of the C++11 standard: initializer lists, range-based ‘for’ loops, right angle brackets, the ‘auto’ keyword and lambda functions. configure checks for each of these. For GCC this means at least v4.6.0.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed reading MPEG transport streams on big endian systems.
- mkvmerge: enhancement: Added support for reading AAC tracks from MPEG transport streams.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: Relaxed the compatibility checks when concatenating VP8 video tracks.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed PCM audio in WAV sometimes being detected as DTS.
- mkvmerge: enhancement: The verbose identification mode will add the properties “default_duration”, “audio_sampling_frequency” and “audio_channels” if appropriate and if the corresponding header elements are present.
- Packaging: In v5.0.1 mmg’s guide was accidentally moved into the “mkvtoolnix” Debian/Ubuntu package. It has been moved back into “mkvtoolnix-gui” again.
- mkvmerge: enhancement: “Castilan” has been merged with “Spanish” into “Spanish; Castillan” in the ISO 639 language list as both share the same ISO 639-2 code “spa”.
