I've annotated the checkbox showing, by default, Subler imports all tracks, including both AC3 and DTS, from the MKV file you open: It's the first checkbox list, immediately displayed after selecting the file to load. Give a try to converting THIS file (it has both a DTS and an AC3 audio track) with Subler, making sure you don't untick anything in the “ Select Tracks” dialog box. …you'll already be able to convert DTS (but not AC3!) audio tracks. Enabling it will be done via clicking it again when it shows “ Install Perian”.ġ.2 After installing and enabling Perian. In the screenshot above, I've annotated the button you'll need to click, should you want to quickly disable Perian. Just install it by clicking “ Perian.prefPane” in it, which installs a new preference pane in the Other group of system-level System Preferences: THIS is the DTS decoder (current, 1.2.3 version if it becomes unavailable some time in the future, you'll find the working link at Perian's main page). I'll later explain when this needs to be done – the order of file copying / overwriting is very important! (Discussion links also linking to the file: thread on Subler's page another one and a Russian one with a decent Subler tutorial.) THIS file is the AC3 encoder and (after decompressing) must be placed under ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components in your home directory. Here's how.ġ.1 First, you'll need to download two files: However, for both DTS tracks and iPhone / iPad / iPod touch users, this article will be of extreme importance.įortunately, while Perian is indeed not fully compatible with Mountain Lion by default, with some manual “hacking”, it's very easy to make it work with Subler for both AC3 and DTS conversion. That is, if your MKV input files only have (an) AC3 track(s) and you only target Apple TV's, you can safely skip this article. The Apple TV can also play AC3 audio tracks so, should you not want to play back your videos on iPhones or iPads, you don't need to convert AC3 tracks to AAC ones at all. (A lot of other, free or very cheap remuxers – for example, the non-beta version of MP4Tools and Smart Converter - discard or mess up subtitle tracks.)Īs has been pointed out in the previous part of this series, without installing Perian, Subler won't be able to convert either AC3 or DTS original soundtracks into AAC ones required by iOS devices. One of the reasons for this was simple: during benchmarking and testing, I've found Subler still the best (fastest, most reliable, non-crashing) free remuxer, particularly if you need to keep subtitles. I've very thoroughly examined Perian's more or less broken compatibility (of which I've talked quite a bit in the previous part) with the latest-and-greatest Mac OS X operating system version Mountain Lion (ML for short). This is how you can still use Perian on Mountain Lion – and remux all your MKV's with Subler The program will default to is Part III of my article series of my MKV remuxing series (last part HERE), with two main subects: Perian (and the Perian-dependent Subler) on Mountain Lion and selecting the right version of one of the most recommended MKV remuxers, MP4Tools. Under Destination: select a destination and file name for the joined file.The program will check all is okay and number the files in colour-coded order. Highlight the desired files in the order you want to join them in and click on the ←←← button to move the files to the List of input files: pane on the left.Use the Select files from: … button on the right to locate the folder containing the desired file segments.Joining ASF or WMV files with it is easy… It can operate on any ASF, WMA and WMV files and it does it all without re-encoding. a Windows utility for cutting out fragments, joining, editing and repairing ASF files. video1.avi, video2.avi, etc.įor ASF and WMV files, there's AsfBinWin. Hint: before joining files, make sure they're all in the same folder and that each file is numbered in joining sequence. So, here are my recommendations for joining/concatenating the more common video file types… There are a few provisos to attaining that no re-encoding goal in that all segments to be joined must be encoded in the same way, have the same bit-rate, same resolution, etc. There are also loads that either don't work as they say they will, are just too complicated or insist on re-encoding the video, which almost always results in some loss in quality. Well, same here and I wanted a tool to do the job that didn't require a degree in video production techniques and of course, if it was free, then all the better.Īfter much searching and experimentation, I found a few free utilities available to do just that. If you're still reading, then I assume you do. Have you ever downloaded a video in multiple segments or converted a double sided or dual-disc DVD, which leaves you with two video files? Ever wondered if you could simply join these files together for seamless playback?
