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: Matroska reader: track statistics tags are included in the JSON
    identification output just like other tags had already been included: as
    part of the track properties, prefixed with `tag_`. Implements #3714.
  * mkvmerge: MPEG TS reader: mkvmerge will now detect teletext subtitle tracks
    even if they're not listed in the PMT as long as it can find teletext pages
    flagged as subtitles in the header within the probed ranged of the
    file. Implements #3650.
  * MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the default mode for escaping the arguments in
    the "Show command line" dialog can now be set in the preferences. Partially
    implements #3709.
  * MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the "Show command line" dialog now includes the
    command lines for all currently open multiplex settings, switchable with a
    combo box. Partially implements #3709.
  * MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: some users add the option
    `--regenerate-track-uids` to the "additional options", even though
    `--regenerate-track-uids` is a file-specific option, and you can only use
    global options in the "additional options". However, the GUI currently
    doesn't have an option for specifying additional file-specific options. The
    GUI now detects the use of this option in the "additional options" & adds it
    for each of the source files instead. Implements #3707.
  * MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the option `--regenerate-track-uids` has been
    added to the "additional command line options" dialog. See #3703.
  * translations: added a Norwegian Bokmål translation of the man pages by Roger
    Knutsen (see `AUTHORS`).
  
  
  ## Bug fixes
  
  
  * mkvmerge: when using timestamp files for subtitle tracks, mkvmerge will no
    longer set a default duration for the track. Partially fixes #3711.
  * mkvmerge: when using timestamp files for subtitle tracks, mkvmerge will no
    longer queue frames longer than necessary, which resulted in the frames
    sometimes being written much later than they should have been according to
    their timestamps. Partially fixes #3711.
  * mkvmerge: when using timestamp files for subtitle tracks, mkvmerge will now
    write the packets' duration properly. Partially fixes #3711.
  * MKVToolNix GUI: job queue: the shortcut from the "Job queue" menu are now
    enabled correctly whenever the number of jobs in the queue changes (e.g. by
    adding new jobs). Fixes #3720.
