Working with specific video file types that require certain filters and codecs for decoding, conversion or splitting is a task for experienced users and it takes a set of particular tools.
Combining several signals or data streams into a single stream (multiplexing) or video decoding and splitting are examples of such jobs which can be carries out with a software like Haali Media Splitter.
Based on DirectShow, this decoder is able to handle Matroska container files, as well as AVI, MP4, MPEG TS and also OGG/OGM videos. Even if it isn't a GUI application, Haali Media Splitter is highly configurable.
The 'Options' area will enable you to modify the settings for the many functions that support customization. Thus, you can activate subtitle support by having the splitter load automatically VSFilter.
An interesting feature of Haali Media Splitter is the fact that it will not use the system cache for buffering, so you will be able to set the disk buffer size in accordance to your requirements. The default value is 8 megabytes, but you can increase it as you need.
Related to the input configuration, you can have the splitter merge all the segments every time, even if some of them are not linked with the previous/next pointers. Also, having the embedded fonts load automatically can be deactivated (by default this feature is set active).
Insofar as the output of Haali Media Splitter is concerned, you have several options to set. Awaiting to be enabled are the use of custom media type for H.264 video containers and the force fake 25 fps in media type features.
You can increase the decoder priority as well and thus have the thread decoding process accelerated. The audio and subtitle language priority can each be set individually and there's also the possibility of creating a comma separated list for the pairs.
All in all, Haali Media Splitter offers a very good array of customizations and will surely be of great help for users who need to decode and split video streams, convert framerates from variable to constant or multiplex and cut videos.
