Just downloaded a movie with subtitles I did not want.
With this programme I removed them. So easy.
Highly recommended.
Also I have a media player which although plays mkv files ok
will not fast forward or backwards.
But converting them to mp4 and no loss of quality, I can then fast forward and back with no problems.
Well worth the $4.99
Now all I want is to convert to mpg for my DVD.

For those who do deal with .mkv files, this is very good app. I already own Aimersoft Video Conveter (which costs $35) - but this would be perfect for those who just want a simple, specific converter (VLC Player will play .mkv files).

I do not recommend converting to .avi files - .mp4 is much more Mac friendly.

This would be perfect if it could burn in SSA/ASS subtitles and keep the positioning and font colours.

I LOVE MKVtools! The one thing that would make me love it even more would be the ability to mux the streams that I demux out of Matroska files into MPEG2 (program stream) or .mpg files (or anything else that can then be quickly processed into a DVD without re-encoding, if that's possible).

Developer, a quick note: MKVtools 2.4.4's Get Info still says it's Universal instead of the pure Intel Must-Have App it has become.

Also, every single time I select an existing destination folder for whatever operation I'm doing with MKVtools I get an annoying error (something about 'syntax' problems), so I ALWAYS have to create a new output folder.

I now have the download link pointing to the 'Download Page' on the developer's site; about halfway down the page, you should see the download link. I'm trying to find a way to link the file more directly, as the developer's site doesn't seem to allow direct linking.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

This tool works great. I used it to convert a BD rip to a Mac-friendly video format and MKVtools performed flawlessly.

However...

I refuse to go through an obnoxious license structure for a $5 app. And tying it to a single computer is so 1990's. I've got four computers, but I use at least two everyday (MacBook Pro and Mac Pro) and it's only fair I can use it on at least two. Charge $10 if needed, I'd pay that.

Also, because of the work I do, I'm frequently upgrading hardware and I'd have to purchase this and re-license *every* time.

Thanks, but no thanks.

I have used MKVtools to convert a few videos to AVI videos. The reason is usually so I can transfer the video to my TiVo and have the subtitles go with the video. If I send MKV to the TiVo, the subtitles get stripped. Some times, MKVtools works great but if I set different configurations than letting it go by default, then I end up with strange results. Recently, I am unable to convert an MKV and have it convert the whole video. It converts about half of the video. I have tried 4 times using different formats and they all look fine except I don't have the full video. This particular MKV contains both French and English audio plus subtitles. I think if it only contained one language and subtitles, it would work but since I have to deselect a couple of things, it seems to throw it off.

I wish I knew what causes this to only convert half the video. The developer's website doesn't really have much support. They suggest you go to a video forum where knowledgeable people can help.

The $4.99 price is certainly fair although I would like it better if it wasn't connected to my computer since I tend to get a new computer often or a new hard drive.

Does anybody else have the problem when converting an mkv to either an mp4 or avi, the converted movie doesn't play correctly and is constantly stuttering. The video playback is very jerky and not at all smooth but the audio is fine. Anybody have similar problems?
