iMkvExtract

I've used this little app for a few months since discovery and it's done a good job of extracting subs from mkv files. If the developer would just update it, I'd be happy to pay for it. But it's a bit hit & miss; sometimes if you just want to extract 1 item, it borks and you need to extract at least 1 or 2 other files. Today I found an mkv torrent by Grym (who does lovely encodes) and it wouldn't work, no matter what I tried. So clearly there are some new developments that the original version cannot decode. This particular torrent was created in Sept 2016. If the developer is interested, I could send him/her a link.

Was always a good useful program but no longer works using Sierra.

MacUpdate download link [ https://www.macupdate.com/download/23764/iMkvExtract.dmg ] for iMkvExtract iMkvExtract version 1.2 leads to http://error404.000webhost.com/? The older iMkvExtract The much older iMkvExtract Version 1.0 appear to be at http://mkv4mac.free.fr/dl/iMkvExtract.tgz but I can't find version 1.2 listed anywhere...

I downloaded the imkvextract, and everytime I try to launch it it says "it quit unexpectedly", I try again and same. Then it says "reset settings and relaunch" and I try to, but still it closes again. I can't get it to launch at all, so it does not work at all for me. I have a Mac OS 10.5. Can someone help?

Many thanks for updating this to work on Intel systems. It's working exactly as it should - as a simple GUI front end to extract streams from MKV files - for me running 10.7.2. Drag and drop is an added bonus. Along with MKVtoolnix (which is essentially MKVMerge GUI), this is a very handy tool.

Definitely needs work. Though not really necessary, some localization would put polish on this. Implement Drag-and-Drop!! It's annoying as hell to search for a file via browse, when the window and file is right in front of you. Fix up the "help" and about menus, as well as others. The author left the default "NewApplication" as the title throughout the menusystem. It is nice not to have to go to the Terminal to do basic matroska extraction and exploring, but this was a rather lazy attempt. Fix all the minor stuff, and even though it's a one-trick-pony, it will still be worth having, if idiots keep insisting on making stupid matroska video files. On first use, it saved me about 5 minutes of mucking about with one matroska file in the Terminal. Repetitive use will save hours. Maybe somebody will eventually create a one-step Matroska to MPEG4 or XVID avi file converter that actually works, and nobody will ever have to deal with this crap ever again ^_^

It's not universal... ppc only. And it only shows chapters and subtitle. Needs some work.

How do you know? The download link doesn't go anywhere :/

This great software will save you plenty of times if you're dealing with .mkv (matroska) video files. No need to use mkvextract in command line interface anymore, here is iMKVextract !
