[SOLVED] Can't extract tracks from MKV with mkvextract

digitalone · 2012-07-20 09:53:07

Hi, I have a video.mkv container file which I want video and audio track to extract.

I use mkvextract to do that, but get an error:

[giuseppe@archtoshiba Desktop]$ mkvextract tracks video.mkv 1:v_track.h264 --ui-language en_US
Error: Failed to create the file 'v_track.h264': 2 (No such file or directory)

I tought the executable can't create the output file, but it doesn't work also when i give touch v_track.h264 before.

As you can see, the syntax is correct: http://linux.die.net/man/1/mkvextract
So, which is the problem?

Same here.
I noticed that the last time I used mkvextract was on sunday, 2012/07/15 - the version was 5.7.0-1, right now is 5.7.0-2.
I tried to recompile the latest but it doesn't work. Right now I'm trying with 5.6

EDIT: recompiling 5.6 doesn't work either.

EDIT 2: the author fixed the issue in his git repo

Can anyone update/fix the package with this?
Thanks.

Moving to "AUR Issues, Discussion & PKGBUILD Requests"

@digitalone: I have not looked, but in case you have not done it, you should post a comment to the AUR page. That way the maintainer will be sure to see it.

As a temporary workaround you can specify the path to the outfile when you're extracting. Example:

mkvextract tracks input.mkv 0:/full/path/track0

There's no AUR package for mkvtoolnix. This is about the official mkvtoolnix package being broken since the last boost-libs update

OK, thanks...

Fixed in mkvtoolnix-5.7.0-3 using the git patch.

Thanks... :-)

My mistake. Moving back to "Multimedia and games"

Sorry about that.
