   I have a couple of .ts files (recordings from my sattelite receiver) where MKVToolnix doesn’t recognize
   video tracks, only audio and subtitle ones (SD and HD recordings). I’ve tried it with latest versions of MKVToolnix, but every version failed to solve the problem. There is no problem with my receiver because some files work well (all tracks are displayed) and other not, even when recordings come from the same channel.

      If those are MPEG-2 video tracks then you’re probably running into a well-known bug/limitation in mkvmerge’s MPEG-2 video handling code. Fixing that bug would require re-writing the whole MPEG-2 handling code, which is why I’ve decided not to fix it quite a while ago.

      You can try re-muxing the TS to something else with a different tool first; maybe that’ll help.

      If it isn’t MPEG-2 then I’ll need a sample file in order to investigate what’s wrong. Please upload (part of) such a TS file to my FTP server. Thanks.

         Indeed, only MPEG2 files do have this problem (sorry for my statement from above – i checked thoroughly all recordings once more). The reason i choose MKVToolNix for remuxing are the subtitles (conversion teletext -> SRT) . If i use other tools the sub track will be lost. I have also tried to remux video/audio from the same file created by another tool with the original sub track with MKVToolNix, but it does not not work properly – subtitle lines freeze often on the screen,
         followed by a couple of lines displayed very fast afterwards(i assume the software tries to synchronise the subtitles again).
         Anyway thanks for the answer. I hope you’ll have the issue solved in the next versions.

            I won’t have it fixed, no. Like I’ve said above this is one of the issues that I won’t fix.

               I have re-considered as yet another bug report was opened with a similar issue. I’ve fixed that particular issue, and it might be a fix for yours, too.

   Hello Mosu,
   Please can you add Dolby TrueHD (.mlp) extension to the dropdown list of supported formats.
   MKVToolNIX can see it, open it, and mux it without any problem… but it can only see it if I choose ‘All Files (*.*)’ from dropdown list instead ‘All supported media files’.
   1. mosu Post authorApril 10, 2015 at 20:15

      Maybe.

      Note that MLP is not TrueHD. Yes, they’re similar (and mkvmerge uses the same code for handling both), but they have significant differences, and therefore associating »Dolby TrueHD« with »MLP« would be wrong.

   Hey,

   First of all, thank you for providing us with such good tool.

   I downloaded the Windows Portable version, but there is no file when I descompacted it.

   Could you check it for me, please?

   Thank you.

      I honestly don’t understand what you mean.
      1. Thiago April 15, 2015 at 19:18

         I opened the file “mkvtoolnix-7.8.0.tar.z” and I found no file in it.

         Please, check this image. I think it will be easier to be understood: http://www.odisseia.inf.br/mkvtoolnix.png
         1. mosu Post authorApril 15, 2015 at 19:32

            Looks like your download is incomplete. Or your compression program doesn’t understand that format. Get the original from http://www.7-zip.org/
            1. Thiago April 15, 2015 at 19:58

               You’re right! My compression program was not recognizing your file.

               Thank you very much.

   Hi !
   It’s me again. Is it possible to make the software regognize DVB subtitle tracks in .ts files and keep them
   when remuxing ?
5. Klaus April 24, 2015 at 01:43

   I’m having problems with my mkvmerge, I am using the new version and the problem continues. I can not change the audio position, first audio English and the second in Portuguese, did all the steps correctly and it does not change, it always keeps the Portuguese as track 1, what am I doing wrong?
   1. mosu Post authorApril 24, 2015 at 09:03

      Add the file, select the second audio track, move it up. Start muxing.

      That’s the general process. If that doesn’t work then there are a ton of possibilities: bug in the player, you’re doing something wrong, you’re playing the wrong file…

      Screenshot of your settings?
6. Klaus April 24, 2015 at 17:17

   original file = First Portuguese

   I do not understand, happens in any videos, what’s wrong?
   1. mosu Post authorApril 24, 2015 at 17:48

      Maybe you’ve set your player to prefer to play a Portuguese audio track if one is present.
      1. Klaus April 24, 2015 at 17:55

         Using mkvextract took all files and did the merge again, failed again. I wanted the English audio was default when the video, not the Portuguese. What is the function of demultiplexer?

         1. mosu Post authorApril 24, 2015 at 18:24

            Like I said, your player likely prefers tracks with Portuguese language over the others. Check your player’s preferences.
            1. Klaus April 24, 2015 at 20:38

               Yeah.
               By default, the program chooses the Portuguese language, thanks mosu for u help.
