From FFmpeg PoV, it is indeed a regression since 5d2f89a2 but the previous behaviour was also wrong (not specification-compliant), just consistent. The necessary changes are:
- Fixing the matroska muxer so it copies
mov_write_video_tag()to write compliant files - Fixing the matroska demuxer so it reads these files.

Replying to cehoyos:
Is this a regression?
Yes, version 20120804-git-f857465 works fine, but version 20120810-git-633b90c has this bug.
It happen beetween commit f85746509ca8b727d97ff801a63a22f81fd27a0c and 633b90ca8d5fbdac4e54b0d6b054e273b3a5efa5.

version 20120804-git-f857465 works fine
Not really, the output file was invalid (and can not be decoded with vlc).

The bug was fixed in MKVToolNix by https://github.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/commit/6fbbd882d2b0819b2e3a4d4fc2880f94fc985839, but FFPlay and VLC still don't want to play output.
Not really, the output file was invalid (and can not be decoded with vlc).

That VLC doesn't play audio doesn't mean that mkvmerge is to blame. Quite the other way around. VLC doesn't support A_QUICKTIME at all. Just do a recursive grep for A_QUICKTIME on VLC's sources and you'll see for yourself. As for the CodecID. mkvmerge has used A_QUICKTIME since 2009. Before it used A_QUICKTIME/QDMx. Back then there was a decision that appending the codec type to the A_QUICKTIME string was superfluous as the FourCC is contained in CodecPrivate for both A_QUICKTIME and A_QUICKTIME/QDMx. This is very similar to how V_QUICKTIME works. The CodecPrivate contains the content of the STSD atom. Unfortunately we totally forgot to update the specs page, which is why it doesn't list A_QUICKTIME. I will update the specs page tonight. So if you want to fix ffmpeg you should do the following: 1. In the demuxing part: treat A_QUICKTIME and A_QUICKTIME/wxyz identically. Get the FourCC from CodecPrivate (should be bytes 4 - 7 starting at 0). 2. In the muxing part: simply don't write A_QUICKTIME/wxyz but just A_QUICKTIME.

ffplay can now play
the video from output-mkvtoolnix-6.6.0.mkv and
the audio from output-mkvtoolnix-6.7.0.mkv
the video in output-mkvtoolnix-6.7.0.mkv is simply broken, its SVQ3 but marked as SVQ1, you can play it somewhat with -vcodec svq3

ffplay now also plays the video from output-ffmpeg-20140109-git-c0a33c4.mkv

ffplay can now play the video from output-mkvtoolnix-6.6.0.mkv
Why only video?
Ok, everything is clear with FFPlay (decoding). What with encoding?
The output file is still invalid?
Why FFMPEG's output uses deprecated "A_QUICKTIME/QDM2" as Audio Codec ID insted of just "A_QUICKTIME" like mosu wrote?

Probably because nobody bothered to update it. In the worst case, you'll have to propose a patch and send it to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list.

Replying to compn:
why are you muxing svq3 into mkv ?
Why not? :-/
because.

Which tool or player can play the audio ?
If nothing can play it, then most likely the issue is with the file

Which application/player supports A_QUICKTIME?
mosu said vlc does not and if i understood correctly the spec did not list A_QUICKTIME either.
FFmpeg should create files that can be played by most players/applications. We also should conform to the spec. If from 2 revissions of the spec one works with many players and one with few, we should prefer the one that works with many.
Dont hesitate to correct me if one of my assumtations is wrong

just tried to replace A_QUICKTIME/QDM2 by A_QUICKTIME, but the resulting file cannot be played by any player i tried. So its not that simple
Also please open a seperate ticket for the QDM2 issue, this one is about SVQ3 remux not playing in ffplay (which is fixed thus closing it)
dont hesitate to reopen this ticket if svq3 isnt fixed, but please lets move qdm2 to a seperate ticket, so as to keep things easy to manage as these are 2 seperate issues

Yes, it's the issue with the file. QDM2 audio in files generated by mkvtoolnix-6.6.0 are broken (this bug was fixed in mkvtoolnix-6.7.0). You don't have to fix FFMPEG for them.
and if i understood correctly the spec did not list A_QUICKTIME either.
Please look at http://matroska.org/technical/specs/codecid/index.html. A_QUICKTIME/ Codec ID is deprecated in favor of A_QUICKTIME (without a trailing codec name).
VLC does not support neither Matroska A_QUICKTIME nor A_QUICKTIME/ Codec IDs at all. I've opened https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/11038 for this issue.
please lets move qdm2 to a seperate ticket
OK, I'll open new ticket for using A_QUICKTIME instead of deprecated A_QUICKTIME/ Codec IDs, when https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/11038 is closed.

OK, https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/11038 is closed, I've opened #3602.
Is this a regression?
