  1. I've just released Mp3tag for Mac v1.12 🌱

    • Download via mp3tag.app/get
    • Release Notes at community.mp3tag.de/t/mp3tag-f

    Mp3tag is a powerful and easy-to-use tool to edit metadata of audio files. Musicians, DJs, podcasters, and audio-enthusiasts use it for many different aspects of handling audio files.

    Enjoy and take care 🧡

  2. What's a good to serialize simple structured in an efficient way?

    I'm thinking about some binary encoding. Also, .1 because it natively uses integers, not just strings. Is the packed representation (PER) widely supported?

    The data will be a bunch of interleaved time series streams, so variable field lengths could be a big win.

    Is there a format for stuff like that?

    's EBML? Only I'd have to hack the schema in.

  3. What's a good #format to serialize simple structured #data in an efficient way?

    I'm thinking about some binary #XML encoding. Also, #ASN.1 because it natively uses integers, not just strings. Is the packed representation (PER) widely supported?

  7. Free Software that I rely on. One per day.

    Day 18:

    MKVToolNix

    This is a tool kit of utilities, including a GUI front end, for manipulating Matroska streaming multimedia files (usually "MKV" or "MKA" files).

    The Matroska container format allows for multiple audio, video, and text streams, which means you can encode a video with multiple options for audio and subtitles (as well as alternate video tracks).

    It also supports setting up "Chapter" marks.

    A must-have for authoring and checking complex videos for streaming and download use.

  8. When's #Mastodon gonna roll out support for #WebP animations? It should also start handling video formats like #WebM or #MKV, a social for nerds and geeks oughta be one of the first to jump on that, especially since they're open formats with no royalties. #opensource #socialmedia

  9. Bu .mkv kayıt olayını da şimdiye kadar hiç araştırmadım.

    OBS Studio ve Simple Screen Recorder de kayıtları mkv olarak yapıyorlar.

    Varsayılan olarak kayıt bitince yada istenirse de kayıt anında mp4'e "çeviriyorlar"

    Fakat kayıtları neden mkv olarak yaptıklarını hiç bilmiyorum.

    Bir ara okuyup öğrenmek gerek.

  10. Firefox tukee nyt Matroska-videoformaattia

    Pyyntö Matroskan (eli MKV:n) tuen lisäämiseksi Firefoxiin tehtiin jo 8 vuotta sitten, mutta nyt se - vihdoin - on saatu mukaan Firefoxiin.

  11. Firefox va lire les fichiers MKV, contrairement aux systèmes d'Apple dlvr.it/TN1W3V #Firefox #MKV

  12. TIL: #Firefox kann kein #mkv
    bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.…

    Das Ticket is 8(!!!) Jahre alt! Und mkv war schon vor 8 Jahren durchaus verbreitet. Offensichtlich funktioniert es nicht so einfach: "Ist doch OSS, kannste forken und mkv einbauen! Oder einen Patch einreichen."

  13. Well, I did it. I deleted my #Loops account, I am off that #Fediverse platform. There is no #WebBroswer option to use it. Uploading #Webm and #MKV videos is a no-go, and it failed to optimize the #mp4 from my phone.

  14. I just made a #WebM video for #loops it is 1.8mb down from the 8.6 mb when it was a #MKV. It has been several minutes at 0% of optimizing the video. Hahaha what!? Wait... It was taking to long so I tried the mkv file and that is stuck. Does loops only do #Mp4 files? That is too bad and kinda dumb. Looks like I will be dropping loops from my #fediverse profile :angery:

  15. So I have hundreds of videos of ~1 minute recorded from my phone ~10 years ago, and they generally don’t have that great compression, nor they are stored in a modern and advanced video format.

    For archiving purposes, I want to take advantage of my workstation’s mighty GPU to process them so that the quality is approximately the same, but the file size would be strongly reduced.

    Nevertheless, compressing videos is terribly hard, and way more complex than compressing pictures, so I wouldn’t really know how to do this, what format to use, what codec, what bitrate, what parameters to keep an eye on, etc.

    I don’t care if the compression takes a lot of time, I just want smaller but good looking videos.

    Any tips? (Links to guides and tutorials are ok too)

    Also, unfortunately I am forced to use Windows for this (don’t ask me why 🫠), but I know nothing about Windows because I hate it. Practical software suggestions are very much welcome, too!

  20. 2/3

    A little more reading of some non-AI internet had me try just changing the file type suffix from webm to mkv.
    That's #Matroska, #MKV - a container.

    And the video (only) plays on the #SamsungTV base model code #JU6400.
    And the TV tells me the audio format ( .opus) is not supported.

    But #FFMPeg made short work of transcoding audio. Under 3 minutes instead of hours. Went to aac. Still renaming the webm file to a .mkv container.

  21. I'm feeling a bit frustrated. I'm running out of space on my hard drives for the movies I've downloaded recently.
    I need a 2TB hard drive to organize my files.
    Unfortunately, I can't use a larger one because my media player is 12 years old.

  27. Have you ever encountered VLC unable to play a .mkv file when your machine is plugged into hdmi? I have this .mkv file that will play fine on my MacBook screen, but if I plug an hdmi cable into my MacBook to output to a projector, VLC just shows a black screen, even after restarting VLC.

    Thankfully I was able to get what I wanted playing over the projector from a different source and in a different format but I'm still really confused. #VLC #mkv #hdmi #tech #VideoFormats #codecs #mac

    Un tutoriel pour extraire (ripper) des films à partir de Blu-ray (protégés ou non) et en faire des MKV avec plusieurs langues.

    Je cible spécifiquement Windows, mais les logiciels existent aussi sur Linux et OS X, donc la démarche devrait être très similaire d'un OS à l'autre.

    Edit : makemkvcon semble être une solution :

    Copy all titles from first disc and save as MKV files into current directory:

    makemkvcon mkv disc:0 all .

    La question était :
    J'ai une pile de dvd des brigades du tigre. Chaque DVD contient deux episodes (deux "titres" en jargon dvd si J'ai bien compris).
    Je veux sur mon pc linux mettre le dvd dans le lecteur de dvd, appuyer sur un bouton, et récupérer 2 fichiers mkv que je pourrais lire sur l'autre pc branché sur ma tv.
    Eh bien je ne trouve pas ce script miraculeux qui ferait ça tout seul en utilisant le fichier .ifo du dvd pour trouver comment découper tout cela.

  30. #FLAC (rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9639) and #MKV (rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9559) are now #IETF proposed standards!!

    Kudos to the CELLAR working group and to authors (for MKV: @robux4 , @mosu and Dave Rice)!!

    Would be any better device out there today?

  32. Yeah…And frankly that’s all I need for #PLEX, specifically.

    In general I like #MKV better but for now I’m going with #MP4 because I’m running my #PLEX off an #RPi rn, so it doesn’t have the horsepower to do the proper conversions. So whether or not a video will play is entirely based on the codecs found from the discs…making it wildly unpredictable. Sometimes whether or not a video will play is even based on platform and device. Which makes sense, it’s just annoying that, for example, not everything comes with #MPEG2 compatibility, or that the complete series #BluRay collection of #FallingSkies uses a super rare codec that pretty much nobody uses anymore
