mkvtoolnix: updated to 25.0.0
Version 25.0.0 "Prog Noir" 2018-07-12
New features and enhancements
* mkvmerge: SRT/ASS/SSA text subtitles: for files for which no encoding has
been specified, mkvmerge will try UTF-8 first before falling back to the
system's default encoding.
* mkvmerge: SRT/ASS/SSA/WebVTT text subtitles: a warning is now emitted if
invalid 8-bit characters are encountered outside valid multi-byte UTF-8
sequences.
* mkvmerge: Matroska & MPEG transport stream readers: the encoding of text
subtitles read from Matroska files can now be changed with the
`--sub-charset` parameter.
* Linux: starting with release 25 an AppImage will be provided which should
run on any Linux distribution released around the time of CentOS 7/Ubuntu
14.04 or later.
* macOS: translations: updated the `build.sh` script to build `libiconv` and a
complete `gettext`. Together with an additional fix to how translation files
are located, MKVToolNix can now use all interface languages on macOS,
too.
Bug fixes
* mkvmerge: AVC/h.264: fixed file identification failing for certain
elementary streams due to internal buffers not being cleared properly.
* mkvmerge: HEVC/h.265: fixed file identification failing for certain
elementary streams due to internal buffers not being cleared properly.
* mkvmerge: MLP code: fixed various issues preventing MLP from being parsed
correctly.
* mkvmerge: TrueHD/MLP packetizer; dialog volume normalization removal isn't
attempted if the track is an MLP track as the operation is only supported
for TrueHD, not MLP.
* mkvmerge: MPEG TS reader: when reading MPLS mkvmerge will now compare the
MPLS's start and end timestamps against the transport stream's PTS instead
of its DTS. Otherwise the first key frame of a video track might be dropped
if it isn't the first in presentation order.
* mkvmerge: JSON identification: mkvmerge will ensure that all strings passed
to the JSON output modules are valid UTF-8 encoded strings by replacing
invalid bytes with placeholder characters. This avoids the JSON library
throwing an exception and mkvmerge aborting on such data.
* mkvmerge: audio packetizers: mkvmerge will now keep discard padding values
if they're present for packets read from Matroska files.
* mkvmerge: Ogg Opus reader: packet timestamps aren't calculated by summing up
the duration of all packets starting with timestamp 0 anymore. Instead the
algorithm is based on the Ogg page's granule position and which packet
number is currently timestamped (special handling for the first and last
packets in the stream).
* This fixes the first timestamp if the first Ogg packet's granule position
is larger than the number of samples in the first packet (= if the first
sample's timestamp is bigger than 0). mkvmerge will keep those offsets now
and inserts "discard padding" only where it's actually needed.
* It also improves handling of invalid files where the first Ogg packet's
granule position is smaller than the number of samples in the first packet
(= the first sample's timestamp is smaller than 0). mkvmerge will now
shift all timestamps up to 0 in such a case instead of inserting "discard
padding" elements all over the place.
* mkvmerge will no longer insert "discard padding" elements if the
difference between a) the calculated number of samples in the packet
according to the granule position and b) the actual number of samples as
calculated from the bitstream is one sample or less and if the packet
isn't the last one in the stream. This circumvents certain rounding
errors.
* The timestamp of the first packet after a gap in the middle of the stream
is now calculated based on the Ogg page the packet belongs to, and not
based on the timestamps before the gap.
* mkvmerge: complete rewrite of the progress handling. It's now based upon the
total size of all source files and the current position within them instead
of the number of frames/blocks to be processed. This simplifies calculation
when appending files and fixes rare cases of when progress report was
obvious wrong (e.g. stuck at 0% right until the end).
* MKVToolNix GUI: header editor: non-mandatory elements couldn't be removed
anymore due to a regression while fixing 2320. They can now be removed
again.
