Music Media Helper (Tools for Multichannel Audio & Music Videos)

Great. Audiomuxer doesn't need that line. Good to know because that is pretty much the only thing I used it for these days with MMH around.

That's interesting. I obviously have a limited knowledge of cue files (and honestly try to avoid them whenever possible), but I figured there would be standardization or universal requirements. I know a lot of members use Audiomuxer, but I've never gotten around to downloading it and learning how to use it.

Well with AudioMuxer what you see is what you get. I've not been able to get in touch with him in a few years but he had not much interest in updating it.
One of the cool features of the program is an automated sequence for encoding with the DTS-MAS encoder. I tried to get him to do the same with Surcode for MLP but he had no interest.
Pl4it was one of the original members of our SBU group and AudioMuxer was geared more toward those of us that did a lot of upmixing.

Back in the day I made literally hundreds of cue files manually, doing all the conversions to Frames by hand. Don't much miss it. Also converting to the ms format for DVD-A authoring from one large file so discWelder would know where the track splits were.

Garry is very receptive to bug fixes and such, and MMH is more of a "Swiss Army Knife" for modern audio needs, which is very cool indeed.

What did you use before MMH?

What did you use before MMH?

Nothing. MMH has been invaluable to me (and many others, I daresay).

Thanks for this software. I had the need to convert some of my 5.1 files to quad so I can then encode them to QS. Then for playback through the Surround Master. So I can mix-match my stereo and multi files in the same playlist. I was able to define this remix in the software. Bravo.

What did you use to encode to QS, if you don't mind me asking?

I am sure probably somewhere discussed on QQ.
I am very good at ripping and tagging my discs regardless of format.
Lately when I rip my Atmos discs (MakeMKV and MMH) the MKV video portion, onscreen video has no track listing.
My question is:
Is there a way to capture the track info (name of track)?
I have noticed this is hit and miss, sometimes the hard disc shows track name but not in rip?
My most recent MKV rip, the new Tom Petty has neither the track name on the hard disc via player or the rip, so at least with this I conclude there is no way to get the track name on the MKV video.

 

[HomerJAU]

Are you saying your MKV file has no chapters or the MKV file chapter names are empty or that MMH does not fetch the track names from MusicBrainz?

 

[HomerJAU]

If you are searching Musicbrianz the Artist name is:
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers NOT Tom Petty

Thank you Garry,
MakeMKV rips root files, usually t00, t01, etc, great, no problem.
MMH with my MKV Atmos files I use "Split and Rename Concerts" load file of my choice, use MusicBrainz for track (chapters) titles, great, no problem.
For MKV to FLAC (stereo, 4.0, 5.1) I use "Extract Audio from MKV" load file of my choice, use MusicBrainz for track titles, great, no problem.

My question is:
Sometimes when I play a BD hard disc in BD player as an example (Rhino Blu Ray Atmos) my video screen (TV) shows the onscreen art work and name of song-track. Most recent new Tom Petty Long After Dark, the onscreen shows the graphic artwork but there is no song name. I don't have a problem with the Tom Petty as that is how they made it, there choice.
But others like the Rhino example I list above, when I am done with my ripping and tagging, load file into my JRiver library, everything is perfect, tagging and playing.
But the song name that shows on the screen with hard disc does not show up when I playback the perfectly tagged and audio MKV file.
The artwork, photo, whatever makes up the onscreen video is all there, just the song name did not make it through the rip?

I do not think it is a MMH issue.
After I do the MakeMKV rip, I look at the video of the root file t00, t01, etc, the song names are missing.
FWIW it seems to be mostly with Rhino Atmos and (Quadios I only rip to FLAC) a few other off brands like the recent SDE brand Tori Amos BD Atmos.
If you need I can take two screen shots to better explain.

Rather than the song names, what are you getting? Is it chapter 1, chapter 2, and so on? I can (barely) remember way back for a few titles, I would manually change the chapter numbers to the actual song titles in MKVtoolnix.

I think Mark means the song title in the video that he plays. If the encode does not include that the only option would be to add a continuous subtitle with the song title.

Hello,

I'm encountering a problem with MMH Atmos Helper 8. It no longer launches properly.
The executable starts twice (as seen in Task Manager) but never opens the window.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but it still doesn't work.
MMH Atmos Helper 7 is working fine.
Is there a way to perform a complete reset or can i provide you a log file ?
Thank you for your help.

 

[HomerJAU]

MMH stores the last screen location of most of its dialogs. Is it possible you have changed your screen resolution since you last ran the Atmos Helper tool? If so revert to that resolution/screen and move the Helper dialog. (Also: There is no Atmos Helper desktop shortcut in MMH 8. The only way to start it is from the MMH Launcher dialog)

Hi - I have a large mkv file, too big for FAT32, is there a utility in MMH which would split it, say into 2 parts?

thanks

edit: not to worry, created chapters in the file, then used split by chapter

What are you using FAT32 with?

 

[Mickb]

What are you using FAT32 with?

Not me personally, a friend had a USB & it wouldn't play a 4.8gb mkv file. I suggested try exfat, if not, I'd split the file.

 

[SeeMoreDigital]

What device is he using for playback?

NTFS works fine with most hardware media players, TV's and computers running Windows OS's. exFAT has limited support with hardware media players and TV's but should work okay with computers running modern versions of Windows and MAC OS's.

ah, ok, useful. I believe he's just plugging into TV, so maybe get him to try NTFS, thanks!

A windows re-install solved the problem. Thanks
