The VideoLAN Forums

OK, for one thing, you answered over a month after the fact. For another, this was a continuation of a discussion over on videohelp. This guy had no idea how tags worked, no one does, and yet he'd being lording around boasting about how brilliant he was since no one else understood the tagging syste...

The delayed expansion is redundant and will just make the batch fail if you encounter a filename with an exclamation point in it.

plus:
SET /a n+=1

(He's right to be complaining, your scripting is terrible.)

You convert the edition to ordered chapters, depending on VLCs functionality you might get away with just disabling the unwanted chapters, other than that just leave them out.

I haven't tested VLCs handling of the default edition flags recently... maybe a second edition will work.

Ordered chapters?

a bit more info might be welcome....

MUSIC VIDEO For all your brilliance you've done nothing but repeat what I said a year ago. https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/13773 The Specs look like they were written by the village idiot, Mosu doesn't know how Matroska Tags work, so the only person who can tell us what to do in any given situa...

The first disc in the Australian DVD Edition of Transformers Remastered contains both a Play All and a Bonus Feature that plays the first episode with a commentary track. They both use the same cells and each look to have had the audio track selection disabled to prevent switching to the other versi...

I can give some samples, but being Blu Rays they're kind of huge. However, I can just remux the subtitles themselves into files of their own and being mostly text they'll be rather tiny. If that's enough to get things going then... I personally have four blu rays that I know of with these subtitles,...

The latest version of MakeMKV has implemented the ability to extract Text Subtitles from Blu Ray discs. So far no player is capable of playing them from Matroska Files, maybe even from the Blu Ray structures themselves. Would VLC be interested in implementing playback of these subtitles? On the Make...

It's already done:

That's the sample I was talking about, it's not an actual file I'd be using but does demonstrate the point well enough.

Hmmmm, while the files I were actually trying to add subchapters to only had two levels (chapter/scene), since VLC wouldn't display them properly I stopped part way through. So for the sample I made to actually demonstrate how subchapters are supposed to work I simply appended two episodes of a TV s...

OK, so I thought of a way to test Sub Chapters using a different program, MKVMerge. I created two MKV files with a single top chapter and moved all the current chapters into it as subchapters, then I used MKVMerge to append to two files into a single file. MKVMerge modified all the chapter timecodes...

I'm trying to add sub-chapters to my MKVs but VLC isn't displaying them as I'd anticipated. The Matroska specs aren't very clear and the only mention of time code specifics says "not scaled" which I'd assumed meant is always relative to the file regardless of anything else. I asked Mosu an...

Playing Blu Rays in VLC using MakeMKV: For 32 bit VLC: mklink "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\libaacs.dll" "C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\libmmbd.dll" mklink "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\libbdplus.dll" "C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\libmmbd.dll"...

Which Star Wars? MakeMKV needs access to the internet to download sqv files to get past BD+ protection, if its access is blocked it will continue without it and you most likely will end up with errors in the stream. I'm assuming VLC uses both the AACS and BD+ libraries or at least lets MakeMKV handl...

OK, let's see. 1: you need to match the 32 bit dll with a 32bit VLC player or 64 bit with 64 bit. 2: MakeMKV needs a key to work. If you'd installed MakeMKV at one point and your trial has now expired the dlls simply won't work. You can get the free beta key from the MakeMKV forum: http://www.makemk...

And yet it works fine for me with VLC. I guess I'm just lucky.

(Not sure I should post the same thing twice.)

MakeMKV can decrypt Blu Ray discs on the fly for VLC to play. All you have to do is create symbolic links in the VLC directory called libaacs.dll and libbdplus.dll, each pointing to libmmbd.dll (or libmmbd64.dll) in the MakeMKV directory and you should be able to play anything MakeMKV can rip with V...

OK, now I know beyond any shadow of a doubt that Mastroska Editions (or at least the way the chapters are displayed) is broken in the current version of VLC (Rincewind 2.1.4). Has this been fixed in a pre version yet or do I still need to report it?

I happened to go to the Mezzmo forum to ask about how they handled MKV Tags and they told me to give them the FFMPEG Information for a file. It included this: Input #0, matroska,webm, from 'F:\Videos\Watch\Beast Wars\Season 01\Beast Wars - 01x02 - Beast Wars (2).mkv': Metadata: title : Beast Wars - ...

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=170541 I could copy all the relevant info into this thread if you like, but basically the chapters I'm putting into my mp4's aren't working EXACTLY like I expect them to.
