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.
What’s new in version 86.0
New features and enhancements
- mkvmerge: Matroska reader: track statistics tags are included in the JSON identification output just like other tags had already been included: as part of the track properties, prefixed with `tag_`. Implements #3714.
- mkvmerge: MPEG TS reader: mkvmerge will now detect teletext subtitle tracks even if they're not listed in the PMT as long as it can find teletext pages flagged as subtitles in the header within the probed ranged of the file. Implements #3650.
- MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the default mode for escaping the arguments in the "Show command line" dialog can now be set in the preferences. Partially implements #3709.
- MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the "Show command line" dialog now includes the command lines for all currently open multiplex settings, switchable with a combo box. Partially implements #3709.
- MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: some users add the option `--regenerate-track-uids` to the "additional options", even though `--regenerate-track-uids` is a file-specific option, and you can only use global options in the "additional options". However, the GUI currently doesn't have an option for specifying additional file-specific options. The GUI now detects the use of this option in the "additional options" & adds it for each of the source files instead. Implements #3707.
- MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the option `--regenerate-track-uids` has been added to the "additional command line options" dialog. See #3703.
- translations: added a Norwegian Bokmål translation of the man pages by Roger Knutsen (see `AUTHORS`).
Bug fixes
- mkvmerge: when using timestamp files for subtitle tracks, mkvmerge will no longer set a default duration for the track. Partially fixes #3711.
- mkvmerge: when using timestamp files for subtitle tracks, mkvmerge will no longer queue frames longer than necessary, which resulted in the frames sometimes being written much later than they should have been according to their timestamps. Partially fixes #3711.
- mkvmerge: when using timestamp files for subtitle tracks, mkvmerge will now write the packets' duration properly. Partially fixes #3711.
- MKVToolNix GUI: job queue: the shortcut from the "Job queue" menu are now enabled correctly whenever the number of jobs in the queue changes (e.g. by adding new jobs). Fixes #3720.

Version: 86.0
5-star review to counteract the ignorance from users who don't know how to use a search engine. Also, it's concerning that HandBrake and other converter tools are trending as alternatives, this is not a media converter.
