Extract particular tracks

[GileraGFR]

Hi there,

If any staff reading this I just want to say thanks for what seems so far to be a great piece of software.

The only thing i need help with is extracting particular audio tracks to go with the video track, I can select a particular title such as

Code: Select all

$makemkvcon mkv file:/source/ 0 output.mkv

but that title might include 2 or more audio tracks.

I've checked any documentation i could find but couldn't see anything obvious, Is there anyway of accomplishing this?


Setup:
Ubuntu 12.04 x64
Makemkv 1.8.3

It's a little bit ugly when doing command-line only. You have to create a custom conversion profile, specify which tracks to select (in a form like "all HD tracks in English", etc) and then pass the profile on a command line. Please see advanced subforum for details. Individual tracks cannot be selected from command line.

Thanks for your response.

I have gone down another route and installed a desktop on my server - xfce4.

I have a problem though, whenever I try to run makemkv when I'm vnc'd to my server i get the following error:

Code: Select all

sh-4.2$ makemkv
Xlib:  extension "XInputExtension" missing on display ":1.0".

And a popup window stating "Application failed to initialize".

The funny thing is I have installed and managed to get the same setup working on my test server at home - they're not exactly the same when it comes to packages installed but they're pretty similar. The only main difference when I've compared the packages installed is that the test server has ia32-libs installed as I was trying out tsmuxer but decided not to deploy to main live server.

I've tried to find out any info on whether ia32-libs is required but I don't think it is, I'm just restoring a snapshot of my test box to play about but thought I'd also post here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm determined to get this setup.

It is only required if you want to run mmdtsdec, i.e. convert DTS-HD to flac/wav on the fly.

Thanks for that Mike, I am completely clueless then as I am only trying to start the application.

Do you or anyone else have any idea on what may be causing my error?

If anymore info is required please don't hesitate to ask, I'm checking this forum daily for any responses.

Many thanks
Gil
