MKVToolnix

MKVToolnix is a set of tools to create, alter and inspect Matroska files under Linux, other Unices and Windows. They do for Matroska what the OGMtools do for the OGM format and then some.

With these tools one can get information about (mkvinfo) Matroska files, extract tracks/data from (mkvextract) Matroska files and create (mkvmerge) Matroska files from other media files. Matroska is a new multimedia file format aiming to become THE new container format for the future.

  ## New features and enhancements
  
  
  * mkvmerge: mkvmerge has never supported appending & splitting FLAC audio
    tracks. mkvmerge will now emit error messages when the user attempts either
    instead of continuing and creating invalid FLAC tracks.
  * MKVToolNix GUI: added an option in the preferences to turn on eliding text
    on tab headers. If enabled, tab names will be shortened so that all tab
    headers fit into the window's width. Implements #2768.
  * MKVToolNix GUI: added an option in the preferences to disable all tooltips.
  * MKVToolNix GUI: Windows: debug output sent via Qt's to Windows' debugging
    facility will use a more verbose message format including the application
    name, making it easier to filter for in SysInternal's "Debug View" utility.
  * MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: if the file identification fails due to a JSON
    parser error, the output generated by `mkvmerge` will be output via Qt's
    debugging facility (viewable with SysInternal's "Debug View" utility on
    Windows; on other systems it's output on `STDERR`) allowing insight into
    what's gone wrong.
  * MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: if an error occurs during file identification,
    the name of the processed file will be mentioned in the error message.
  * MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: if an error occurs during identification of
    multiple files, the GUI will ask the user whether to continue or abort the
    identification process. Implements #2778.
  * MKVToolNix GUI: job queue: added an option in the preferences for removing
    completed jobs when exiting the program depending on their status.
    Implements #2769.
  
  
  ## Bug fixes
  
  
  * mkvmerge: H.265/HEVC packetizer: fixed changing the NALU size length, it was
    using the wrong offset into the `hevcC` structure.
  * mkvmerge: MP4 reader: fixed calculating the duration of video tracks that
    only contain a single frame. Fixes #2747.
  * mkvmerge: MP4 reader: if there's no frame offset table (`ctts` atom) present
    for H.265/HEVC video tracks, mkvmerge will determine the timestamp order
    itself instead of relying on the timestamps in the MP4 being in the
    presentation order required by Matroska. Fixes #2777.
  * mkvpropedit: Windows: mkvpropedit wasn't caching when reading the file to
    modify, slowing down operations such as adding track statistics tags
    considerably. Fixes #2761.
  * MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when using the title as part of the destination
    file name (both automatically as well as using the "copy title to
    destination file name" function) all characters that aren't valid in a file
    name are replaced by hyphens.
  * MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the "copy title to destination file name"
    function was broken when the "make file name unique" option in the
    preferences was disabled. In that case the file base name was removed
    regardless of what the title was set to at the time.
  * MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when using the "show command line" menu option
    on Windows the path to the `mkvmerge` executable was shown with forward
    slashes instead of backslashes. This is a purely cosmetic fix as Windows
    supports both forward and backward slashes.
  * MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when adding Blu-ray playlists the GUI used to
    only look for the English version of the disc library information (title &
    cover images). Now the GUI will present all disc library entries in the
    "select playlist to add" dialog & let the user chose which one to use (if
    any). Fixes #2765.
  * MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer, info tool: fixed the "warn before overwriting"
    check wrt. jobs creating the same file. Fixes #2758.
