MKVToolNix overview

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

Since May 1st 2003, the Matroska libraries themselves and my Matroska tools are officially released as a first public beta version. Although all of them are still under heavy development, I urge you to download the software, test it and report any errors you encounter to me. I'm always grateful for good bug reports because I miss so many mistakes and you guys normally find them. Your feedback is important to me :)

Note: While the software is classified as free, it is actually donationware. Please consider making a donation to help support development.

Seems many people didn't know. If you mac won't open the file, just hold down 'control' while clicking the app, then choose 'open'. it will then always open.

Was it NECESSARY to drop down the support of High Sierra? On WHAT has 10.4 and 5 more 'power'? For all what I know, High Sierra is still now the best 'professional OS X'; later ones are 'gimmicky' iOS prone downgrades adding funky 'Gadgets' (Gadget is a name! Of the French company who built the statue of libery in front of the New York harbour!) of no-use by a serious 'power-user', in fact NOT supporting useful utilities like FinderPop, exempli gratia!) GRRRRRR!!!!!

Doesn't start on 10.11 here (no crash on startup). The application is about 20 MB smaller than 29.0.0 and that sounds strange.
