QuoteMKVToolNix is a small collection of tools (mkvmerge, mkvinfo, mkvextract, mkvpropedit and mmg) that allows you to manipulate Matroska (MKV) files in several ways. You can use MKVToolNix to create, split, edit, mux, demux, merge, extract or inspect Matroska files. The program will also work with other video formats (AVI, MPEG, MP4, MPEG, Ogg/OGM, RealVideo, MPEG1/2, h264/AVC, Dirac, VC1) including some video codecs (such as VP9 video codec support - reading from IVF/Matroska/WebM files, extract to IVF files), audio (AAC, FLAC, MP2, MP3, (E)AC3, DTS/DTS-HD, Vorbis, RealAudio) and also most subtitle formats (SRT, PGS/SUP, VobSub, ASS, SSA etc.). This is a cross platform application that will work on Windows (both 32 and 64 bit versions), Mac OS X and Linux.
Changelog
Spoiler
2016-04-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v9.1.0 "Little Earthquakes".
* mkvmerge: MPEG TS/teletext enhancement: included the teletext
page number in the JSON/verbose identification output as track
property "teletext_page".
* mkvmerge: MPEG TS bug fix: the "text_subtitles" property of the
JSON/verbose identification modes was always set to true for all
subtitle tracks, even for those that aren't text subtitles
(VobSub, PG).
* mkvmerge: MPEG TS/teletext enhancement: if a teletext track
contains multiple teletext pages then mkvmerge will now recognize
all of those pages as separate tracks to merge instead of only
merging the first page. See #1662.
2016-04-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: MPEG TS/teletext enhancement: mkvmerge will now ignore
obviously bogus PTS values for teletext tracks and use PTS from
earlier audio or video packets instead. See #1662.
2016-04-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: MPEG TS/teletext bug fix: the language code signaled
in the MPEG TS PMT is taken into account when selecting the
character encoding to use during decoding of the teletext
subtitles, not just the "national character set" stored in the
teletext page headers. For example, a German teletext page may
signal "national character set" 0 (English) whereas it's actually
4 (German). See #1662.
* mkvmerge: teletext decoding bug fix: fixed dropping of certain
non-ASCII characters in rare circumstances due to wrong filtering
of already UTF-8 encoded strings.
* mkvmerge: MPEG TS reader enhancement: teletext tracks of type 5
(hearing impaired) are recognized as subtitles, too. Implements
#1662.
2016-04-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: characters that aren't
valid in path names are automatically removed from the output file
name. Implements #1647.
* MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix (Windows only): the GUI didn't start
if the USERNAME environment variable contained characters that
aren't allowed in file names (e.g. : or ?).
2016-04-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: AVI reader bug fix: fixed reading files where the file
ends in the middle of an audio chunk. Fixes #1657.
2016-04-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: new feature: added support for extracting WebVTT
subtitles. Implements the extraction part of #1592.
* mkvmerge: new feature: added support for reading WebVTT
subtitles from WebVTT and Matroska files. Implements the merge
part of #1592.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: when reading Matroska files not created
by mkvmerge that contain chapters the existing edition UIDs and
chapter UIDs are removed and random ones created. This is
necessary as not only HandBrake but other tools assign sequential
numbers starting at 1 for each file. Therefore there are two
chapter entries with the UID 1, two with the UID 2 etc. and those
should, strictly speaking, be treated as if they were a single
chapter whereas the user expects those entries to stay separate
entries.
2016-04-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* MKVToolNix GUI: new feature: added an option in the preferences
("Merge" → "Output") for controlling whether or not the GUI clears
the "output file name" input upon removal of the last file.
* MKVToolNix GUI: new feature: added an option in the preferences
("Merge" → "Default values") for controlling whether or not the
GUI clears the "file title" input upon removal of the last file.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge will no longer abort reading a
Matroska file with a structural error right before the first
cluster. Fixes #1654.
2016-04-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: added the muxing date in both local time
zone and UTC to verbose/JSON identification outputs (keys
"date_local" and "date_utc", formatted after ISO 8601) when
identifying Matroska files.
2016-04-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: added the minimum timestamp for each
track in verbose/JSON identification outputs (key
"minimum_timestamp") when identifying Matroska files. At most the
first ten seconds are probed; if no block is found for a track
within that range then the key is not output for the track.
Also added "muxing_application" and "writing_application" to the
"container" section of the output. Currently those are only set
for Matroska files.
2016-03-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool change: attachments from source files
have been moved from the "Tracks, chapters, tags and attachments"
list on the "sources" tab to a new list on the "attachments"
tab. That way all existing attachments and all the ones to newly
add will be shown in a single tab. This makes it easier to decide
which attachments will have to be added and which can be removed.
* MKVToolNix: merge tool bug fix: when adding playlists the GUI
won't ask the user whether or not to scan if there's only a single
playlist in that directory.
2016-03-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: AVC/h.264: fixed handling of interlaced
frames with bottom field first.
* MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: fixed huge memory consumption
(e.g. allocation of 2 GB for a JSON file of 650 KB) in the JSON
library by updating said JSON library. Fixes #1631.
