MakeMKV generates corrupt subtitle track when using custom track names
Posted: Mon Mar 25, 2024 3:04 am
MakeMKV 1.17.6 appears to be generating a corrupt subtitle track when I try to convert the "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" blu-ray disc into an MKV file and use a custom name for some subtitle tracks. It seems to be inserting an extraneous 0x74 byte into the beginning of a track element of the MKV file, corrupting that track. It reports no errors when reading the blu-ray disc and creating the MKV file.
Here are my repro steps:
When I examine the MKV file using the "Info tool" in MKVToolNix GUI version 82.0, it shows all of the subtitle tracks as expected except for that last subtitle track. In the location of the MKV file where it should have that last subtitle track, the MKVToolNix info tool shows "Unknown element (ID: 0x74ae)".
Track, Position=2185, Size=43, Data size=41
EBML void, Position=2228, Size=43, Data size=41
Track, Position=2271, Size=101, Data size=99
EBML void, Position=2372, Size=101, Data size=99
Track, Position=2473, Size=128, Data size=126
EBML void, Position=2601, Size=127, Data size=size 124
Unknown element (ID: 0x74ae), Position=2728, Size=128, Data size=125
EBML void, Position=2856, Size=127, Data size=125
Notice how all of the tracks except for the corrupt one start with an 0xAE byte to represent the TrackEntry element. However, the corrupt track starts with an 0x74 byte, which isn't a valid starting byte to represent any MKV element. But right after that 0x74 byte is an 0xAE byte, which is likely the desired start of this track element.
If I skip putting the "Commentary with Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Actors Keira Knightley and Jack Davenport" custom name in the middle set of English commentary subtitle tracks (regular and "forced only"), then the MKV file that MakeMKV generates includes all of the subtitle tracks without corruption.
Track, Position=2185, Size=43, Data size=41
EBML void, Position=2228, Size=43, Data size=41
Track, Position=2271, Size=101, Data size=99
EBML void, Position=2372, Size=101, Data size=99
Track, Position=2473, Size=37, Data size=35
EBML void, Position=2510, Size=37, Data size=35
Track, Position=2547, Size=127, Data size=125
