MKVtoolnix is a set of tools to create, alter, and inspect Matroska files under Mac 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
What's New
Version 5.5.0_2012-04-14-38ac:
  • Build system: Boost's "lexical_cast" and "type traits" libraries are now required.
  • mmg: new feature: Added GUI controls for mkvmerge's "file concatenation" feature as "additional file parts". The user can chose which individual files are treated as if they were a single huge source file.
  • mkvmerge: bug fix: The handling of the "do not read other files" options (e.g. "=file.vob" and "( file.vob )") was broken for MPEG program stream files.

Excellent tool but I would love it if it supported FLV as input and the ability to drag & drop a file to add it to the list

I tried many, many times to split large MKV movie for my Sony BluRay player, or add subtitle track, but every single time this software prepared output just unplayable by my device.

I also have first gen WD-TV and it also have problems with MKVtoolnix files, however it is able to play some of them.

Of course all files are easily playable on my computer with MPlayer...

Do you have 'header compression' enabled? Many standalone devices/media players, including the WDTV, may have problems with MKVs that use the header compression feature (it's supposed to be part of the standard, but wasn't enforced/used by anything, until mkvtoolnix's author tried to enforce it).

Some devices *may* have updated firmware to handle it, but I think the earlier WDTVs don't, if I remember correctly.

Really useful when ripping blu-ray's using MakeMKV and then compressing using handbrake the subtitles are lost. This utility makes it possible to take the compressed file and combine the subtitles from the original MKV file.

Works a treat most of the time, only had one problem where it messed up audio sync on a movie.

The tool, in general, is simple in its GUI yet excellent for MKV operations. Version 5.0.1 worked very well on my iMac i7 computer. However, on a clean system installation, 5.2.0 crashes all the time. I hope the programmer will fix this problem that seems to be related to /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib according to Console (but doesn't affect 5.0.1 at all, however).

Now when I use Mkvtoolnix 4.1.x to add an AC3 track it is not audible on my WDTV anymore. If revert back to 4.0.0 everything is fine. Except I've noticed that with 4.0.0 the video frame rate is a bit choppy. I'm hoping that there's an update soon.

You should probably contact the dev and ask him to link to your 2.8 version:

http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/contact.html

We can also host/distribute it from here, if you want to upload the file to this listing (you might need to create a MU dev account and claim ownership of the listing first to upload the file):

Your instructions ask to install in /opt/local/lib which is not a standard destination on MacOS X distributions. Are you sure about the destination??

I'm unable to make this work; I've created the /opt/local/bin folder(s) but am stuck at running the next steps.

Almost no experience w/Terminal sadly.

Any help will be gratefully received.

Mkvtoolnix-2.5.3

I fixed those problems for my own, by compiling or downloading the missing libraries.

The missing files are:
libSDL-1.2.0.dylib
libjpeg.62.dylib
libpng12.0.dylib
libtiff.3.dylib

and needs to be in directory:
/opt/local/lib
