DESCRIPTION

MKVtools is a collection of tools used to manipulate .mkv and .ogm video files. It's primary purpose is to convert .ogm and .mkv files into more user friendly formats - either .avi files, .mp4 files or as individually extracted track files. MKVtools is trialware - only $4.99 for full functionality, though it will function unregistered, with some minor limitations.

Key features include:

  • Convert .mkv and .ogm videos to either .avi files or .mp4 files.
  • Extract the selected tracks as individual video, audio and/or subtitle files.
  • Intuitively select desired video, audio and/or subtitle tracks to proces, with the ability to verify the selections using video preview.
  • Use presets for one step encoding .mp4 files for playback on iphones/ipods.
  • Though still a work in progress, use presets for one step encoding .mp4 files for playback on Apple TV/Playstation 3/Xbox 360.
  • Embed selected subtitle track (i.e., hard subtitles) into the video.
  • Control the font, size and positioning of the embeded subtitles.
  • Split .mkv videos into sections of a specified file size or by start/end time.
  • Delete tracks from .mkv files.
  • Join, mux and change the pixel aspect ratio of .mp4 videos.
  • Add jobs to a queue either individually or in batches via drag and drop so you can process multiple files overnight (registered copies only).

JDUB800  This doesn't make playable DVDs. Who wants to use MPEG-2? I certainly don't...  (Version 2.0)

ANDY49  I don't know how many people know this, but Roxio Toast 8 and 9 converts and burns these files perfectly into playable DVD's. No need for this.  (Version 1.2)
