MKVtoolnix???

@psychodad: because it's a lot easier
You don't need to set up a crosscompile toolchain (which i never got working properly)
b-rad posted a debian squeeze image .bin which you can mount and chroot into, then you can apt-get whatever you need to compile on wd

Fast update - new compiled version 4.2 with new libraries libebml and libmatroska.

Download: MKVToolnix 4.2

If someone have problems with audio in mkv (like in last Eureka.S04E05.720p.HDTV.x264-IMMERSE) you can try remux mkv file with mkvtoolnix. You must set compression algorithm to none in audio and video.

might it not have been infinitely better to patch the source to set those damn annoying header compression settings to 'none' by default, so as not to have to keep reminding people over&over?

yes, you have right, but I'm not a programmer and don't now what modify in source to set header compression to "none" default

Great news

With help Moritz Bunkus (creator MkvToolnix) I compile alternate version MKVToolnix with default set header compression to none.

Now just type in commandline:

mkvmerge -o <output file> <source file>

and is all - movie will be remuxed and audio from movies with header compression now work.

Today i will upload new version

Hello player_sct! I really need such tool to remux some mkv directly with WD. Can you explain to n00b how I can use your application?
I download it and put into my HDD, but I cannot start from commandline mkvmerge2 -o....
What should I do?
Please step by step!

+1 could you please post an example syntax ? I see in webend that is installed but when I try in telnet your command nothing happens

[namtih]

Did you use the last provided version?

If you have a open telnet/ssh session and enter "mkvmerge2", you should get a long list of available parameters.


If it's working, you can use the following syntax to remove the compression in mkv-files:
mkvmerge2 -o <name_of_new_file> <name_of_source_file>
