MKVToolNix is a handy and powerful set of tools for easily creating and working with Matroska (.MKV) files.
MKVtoolnix is a handy application that helps you to work with Matroska - a multimedia container that allows to unite in a single file video, audio and subtitle tracks, taking the concept of mkvextract GUI but empowered with some additional features. The application lets you extract the audio, video and subtitles of MKV container, mix new audio tracks, videos or subtitles, convert videos and audios to Matroska (MKV) format, offering the possibility to choose the default audio or add more, and the same with subtitle tracks. In addition, you can retouch MKVToolnix quality and appearance of the video. MKVToolnix supports the many formats such as for video: 264, AVC, H.264, AVI, DRC, MP4, MPG, MPEG, M1V, M2V, EVO, MKV, OGG, MOV, RA, RAM, RMVB, VC1; audio: AC3, AAC, M4A, MP4, DTS, FLAC, OGG, MP2, MP3, MKA, TTA, WAV, WV and subtitles: SRT, ASS, SSA, USF, XML, IDX.
- Build system: libEBML v1.3.3 and libMatroska v1.4.4 are now required due to important fixes for invalid memory accesses in those two releases. The copies included in the MKVToolNix source code have been updated to those releases as well.
- MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: the "save file" dialogs did not have the currently entered file name pre-selected anymore.
- MKVToolNix GUI: header editor enhancement: several track properties like name or language are shown as columns in the tree for easier distinction between tracks. Theyre also shown on the overview page on the right when that tracks entry is selected in the tree. The text in the labels on this overview page can be selected with the mouse for copying & pasting elsewhere.
- MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: fixed a crash when loading corrupted job settings.
- MKVToolNix GUI: header editor bug fix: the tree items werent re-translated when the GUI language was changed.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: updating the track headers wasnt working in some rare cases (corresponding error message "Re-rendering track headers: data_size != 0 not implemented yet").
- MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix (Linux): the function "open folder" was inserting a superfluous leading slash in the directory name. This causes some file managers (in this particular case Dolphin on Linux) to interpret a directory name like "//home/mosu/" as a share called "mosu" on a Samba/Windows server called "home" and to prepend the whole name with the "smb://" protocol.
