Crash on "show graph of audio levels" for merged MKVs
Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2023 7:33 pm
Dear community,
I have a ripped MKV of my original “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” Blu-ray. As the extended version comes on two discs, I have two MKVs. I merged the MKVs with MKVToolNix via “Append files”. This resulted in an 80 GB MKV. I added it to the DCP-o-matic project and then clicked on “Show graph of audio levels...”. It takes a very long time to do so and ultimately crashes (program closes without warning or information). I also tried to do the DCP via Jobs → Make DCP, which results in a crash too (I assume the same analyzing of audio takes place). I tried to remove all unneeded audio tracks and only keep the one I want. The result was a crash as well. I then tried to create the DCP with one piece of the original MKV, which worked fine.
It's unclear now, whether this is the result of the merge of the MKVs or is due to the size and length of the audio/file of the 80 GB version.
Is the merge a problem? Is there a better way, inside DCP-o-matic to make one DCP out of two MKVs?
I greatly appreciate your help.
