mkvmerge on ppc

[kirti]

Hi,

just downloaded MKVToolNix (MkvMerge) for mac and have problem to use it. It starts fine but when i am trying to add input files to the list it do nothing. MkvMerge takes 99% of processor resources and GUI window stays greyout for long time without any result. I was trying to load mp3 files, avi videos, demuxed avi video and ac3 files with the same result -- it just do not do anything: all the controls on GUI window are greyed out and processor suffers on 99% from MkvMerge.

Any idea what could be the problem?

thank you in advance for any suggestion and help,

First I would streamline everything down to two file types:
avi for the video, mp3 for the audio.
(also just so that you have only Two files going to be merged,
I've had it work better that way than with 6 or 7 different files)
then try it again.
Your processor is choking trying to merge all these different
types, which have to be first decoded, then encoded.

Your processor is choking trying to merge all these different
types...

Terryj, thank you for reply. I think I expressed myself not clear...

I was not trying to merge all that different types of the files but at least load it to the program. I did not even get to the point of pressing "Start muxing" button because i can not load even one file to the "input files" list. It just greyed out for a long time and nothing.

My original idea was to merge demuxed avi video with mp3 audio track and subtitles. which runs fine and synchronized in avi container which I muxed with ffmpegx. I just love mkv container and want to have video-audio-subs in one sweet file.
