You have to convert the file back to AVI to play it in hardcoded players.

Dunno about subs but for audio and video it should work fine, yes.

IRC server change

FYI, if you have been using irc.corecodec.com, you need to change to 
irc.corecodec.org.  The .com server is unstable and is being pulled down for 
maintenance.  Up until this point the two have been sending messages to each 
other so they work like one.

mkvtoolnix 0.9.6 released

Hey,

weeeeeee! It's been quite some time since the last release. Probably
longer than since any other release. But here we go.

This funky release features tons of bug features and a couple of new
features and a complete rewrite of the chapter handling (which you won't
notice, but it a really big change, so there might still be bugs. But I
doubt it).

You should read the ChangeLog below -- I really don't want to repeat
everything here ;)

Here are the usual URLs to...
...the home page:
https://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/
...the source code:
https://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/sources/mkvtoolnix-0.9.6.tar.bz2
...the Windows binaries:
https://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/win32/mkvtoolnix-0.9.6.rar

The packages for SuSE Linux 9.0 and 9.1 as well as those for RedHat 9 /
FedoraCore 1 and 2 are still being built and will be available from my
home page shortly.

Here's the ChangeLog since the previous release, 0.9.5:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2004-10-07  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz <at> 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 <at> 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 <at> 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 <at> 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 <at> 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 <at> 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 <at> 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 <at> 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 <at> bunkus.org>

	* mkvmerge: bug fix: Older Matroska files containing chapters
	caused mkvmerge to abort muxing.

2004-09-21  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz <at> 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 <at> 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 <at> 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 <at> 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 <at> 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 <at> bunkus.org>

	* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for MP2 (and maybe MP3)
	audio in MP4 containers.

2004-08-29  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz <at> 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 <at> 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 <at> 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 <at> 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.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Have fun :)

I have a problem playing back matroska files

So far all the files I tried crash randomly. Is it a codec issue? I heard that using codec packs
may mess up your video playback. I have K-lite codec pack installed

on MPC (media player classic) the crash is usually after 2 seconds
the file keeps playing, but subtitles don't show and there is an error dialog
if I wanted to, I could switch the language to english and just keep watching it, but I want
Japanese audio with English subtitles

in VLC the file plays fine, except it crashes once every... 20 minutes? It seems it likes crashing
at certain moments in the video, but sometimes it plays them without crashing

the file uses xvid codec for video and MP4 audio

Re: I have a problem playing back matroska files

Igor,

can you try to remux the file into a new MKV, using either mkvmerge or 
avi-mux GUI ? Does the result of the remuxing process show the same 
behaviour ? Does the same happen on other PCs ?

.mkv audio problem

Hello, i am not sure if you are french of english so i,ll write in english.

 

I have downloaded a video file in .mkv and installed the matroska pack to be able to play it. I already had ffdshow and I also have .ogg decoder and vobsub. When I play the .mkv file, I receive the 2 sounds integrated in the video, Japanese and English. With an ogg file an icon appears and allows me to choose between English and Japanese but the .mkv, only the vobsub icons appears, I cannot choose between the 2 language and the 2 play at the same time. Can you please tell me what to do ? do I have too many codecs at the same time ?

You have to use a good video player like TCMP, Media Player Classic 
(MPC), BSPlayer or ZoomPlayer. All these should give you the choice for 
the audio track you want to hear.
