Hi,
Just after some advice with an issue I have. I am recording Aus free to air tv with h264 .ts files and using mcebuddy (latest version) to convert the .ts files to .mkv using ffmpeg (also tried handbrake and mencoder). I have created a custom profile that only re-encodes the audio steam from AAC to AC3 (as my LG player will only accept AC3). The files work great and video/audio sync is perfect.
The issue I have is I cannot skip/seek the mkv files with my LG player. After hours of searching on the Internet I found some info where others used mkvmerge with the options --clusters-in-meta-seek to quickly mux the outputted mkv file. I did this and it worked and I could skip/seek. I found out that if you use mkvmerge 3.4 or before you do not need to define the --clusters-in-meta-seek option as the earlier versions did this by default. I replaced mkvmerge 3.4 exe in the mcebuddy mkvmerge program files directory and tried to do a conversion with my profile. In this case it did not work, so I assume it did not call mkvmerge and only used ffmpeg. I have also tried all the custom profiles and different containers etc and still cannot get skip/seek to work natively from mcebuddy.
So my question is, is there a way to get mcebuddy to do this automatically? Can mcebuddy call a post process? Is there a way to call mkvmerge option within a profile? Is there similar parameters with ffmpeg or handbrake that can mux and enable skip/seek for me with mkv files?
Essentially I am open to any ideas, I just want to automate this process if I need to mux again :-)
