I'm a heavy mkv user. When I rip a DVD, I mux in the movie (xvid+ac3), all the commentary tracks (encoded as vobis), english subtitles, the DVD chapter list (with chapter names), and even the cover art. > I'm not too surprised that the audio and subtitle tracks are incorrect > if kaa.metadata cannot parse the output.

I spent a fair amount of time making sure it actually works, and it does for me, but it still may have problems. :) As to whether or not Freevo actually makes use of the extended features of the parser (e.g. it will read cover images from the mkv file if the attachment is an image mimetype and has cover in the filename) is another matter. > As far as I'm aware it works as other people have sent in patches > because the aid and sid were incorrect.

With kaa.metadata, each VideoTrack/Chapter/Subtitle/etc. should have an id attribute that is accurate for mplayer (i.e. they are all offset from 0). > > Also, in the menu, the subtitle options are a little cryptic : > > mis > > und > > und > > und > > und > > und I've seen this with vobsubs too.

This is fixed in latest svn. > This is not quite correct as vlc says the file has two subtitle streams. What does mkvinfo say? If mkvinfo reports two sub tracks, can I arrange to get this file from you? (Email me a URL privately, say.)
