Portable MKVToolNix 92.0 Multilingual
MKVToolnix Portable is a powerful and easy-to-use software application for creating, editing, and inspecting Matroska multimedia container files, also known as MKV files. This free and open-source tool, developed by Moritz Bunkus, supports a wide range of video, audio, and subtitle formats, making it an essential utility for anyone who works with digital media.
One of the most notable features of MKVToolnix Portable is its ability to combine multiple input files into a single output file. This means that you can merge several video, audio, or subtitle tracks from different sources into one file without having to re-encode them. This feature is particularly useful when dealing with movies or TV shows that come in separate files for each episode or with multi-language tracks that need to be muxed together.
MKVToolnix Portable also allows you to extract specific tracks from an existing MKV file and save them as separate files. This is handy when you only need one particular language track or want to extract the subtitles for translation or editing. Additionally, the software lets you edit the metadata of MKV files, such as title, author, description, and cover art, which can be useful for organizing your media library or sharing files online.
Another important aspect of MKVToolnix is its support for various video and audio codecs, including H.264, HEVC, VP9, AAC, AC3, DTS, and FLAC, among others. This means that you can work with high-quality video and audio files without losing quality or compatibility issues. Furthermore, the software offers advanced options for adjusting the video and audio parameters, such as bitrate, resolution, framerate, and channel layout, giving you full control over the output quality and size.
In addition to these core features, MKVToolnix includes several other tools that can be useful for advanced users. For example, the “mkvmerge” command-line tool allows you to automate the process of muxing and demuxing MKV files, which can save time and effort when dealing with large batches of files. The software also includes a “mkvinfo” tool that displays detailed information about the structure and contents of an MKV file, such as the number and type of tracks, the duration and size of each segment, and the compression method used.
Overall, MKVToolnix Portable is a must-have tool for anyone who works with digital media in the Matroska format. Its intuitive interface, comprehensive features, and robust performance make it an excellent choice for beginners and professionals alike. Whether you need to merge, extract, or edit MKV files, or just want to explore the details of your media content, this software has you covered. Best of all, it’s completely free and open-source, meaning that you can use it without any restrictions or licensing fees.
Inspect and manipulate Matroska files
The tool enables you to view, append and take apart tracks, chapters and tags, as well as to edit a wide range of data. For example, when it comes to general track options, you can set the track name, language, default and forced track flags, tags, and timecodes.
What’s more, you can set the aspect ratio, FPS, delay, stereoscopy mode, cropping, cues, compression mode, and custom command-line parameters for enhanced functionality. External files can be embedded in the movie as attachments.
Create and edit movie chapters
It’s also possible to create chapters and define properties, such as start and end time, flags, segment and segment edition UID, together with chapter name, language and country. Configurable global settings focus on the tag file, whether to create a WebM compliant file or not, split mode, file linking, and so on.
An important aspect worth taking into account is that MKVToolnix Portable offers support for batch jobs, which means that you can leave the workstation unattended while the tool executes time-consuming tasks.
You can examine the current command line and copy it to the Clipboard or save it to file to use in future projects, manage the queue jobs, add command-line options, load chapters from external files, edit the header, as well as save the project as an .mka, .mkv or .mk3d-formatted file.
Release Notes:
## New features and enhancements * mkvmerge: FLAC reader: pictures embedded into the FLAC file were already handled as attachments, but they were left in the codec initialization data as well. They're now removed from the codec initialization data. See #6079. * mkvmerge: FLAC reader: padding metadata blocks will now be removed from the codec initialization data. See #6079. * mkvmerge: FLAC reader: embedded Vorbis comments will now be converted into Matroska comments or track/global header fields when available (e.g. `TITLE` will become the segment title & track's name, `LANGUAGE` will become the track's language). Copying of Vorbis comments that are converted into actual Matroska tags can be prevented with the usual options, e.g. `--no-track-tags`. The comments will also be removed from the codec initialization data. Implements #6079. * mkvmerge, MKVToolNix GUI's chapter editor: when reading simple (OGM-style) chapter files & no character set is given for the file, mkvmerge will try UTF-8 first before falling back to the system's default encoding. Implements #6084. * MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the special drag & drop zones added in v91 are now shown by default in new installations. * MKVToolNix GUI: in new installations the main window will now be sized at 75% of the screen's resolution initially with a certain minimum initial size. This improves initial readability on high DPI screens that use screen scaling factors such as 150%. ## Bug fixes * mkvmerge: Ogg reader: during identification the track tags are now reported properly. * MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: within the "additional options", both track-specific ones & the global ones on the "Output" tab, it wasn't possible to specify empty (zero-length) arguments. With the intended syntax of two consecutive single or double quotation marks the empty arguments were simply skipped. This was fixed, and it is now possible to specify e.g. `--title ""` in the global "Additional options" in order to force no title to be written ever. Fixes #6087. ## Build system changes * Windows build: the `packaging/windows/populate_installer_dir.sh` now expects the user to pass the Saxon-HE's JAR file name to be passed with the `-s` or `--saxon-jar` parameter instead of the base directory for Saxon-HE. This allows newer versions of Saxon-HE to be used.
