About:
Mkclean is a command-line tool designed to optimize and clean Matroska (MKV) and WebM files. It removes unnecessary elements, sorts metadata, and compacts the file structure to reduce overhead. This process ensures better compatibility and streaming performance without re-encoding the media content.
Key Features:
  • Optimizes file structure for faster access
  • Removes redundant and unused elements
  • Ensures compatibility with various players
  • Supports both Matroska and WebM formats
Use Cases:
  • Preparing video files for web streaming
  • Reducing file size without quality loss
  • Fixing compatibility issues with media players
Alternatives:
  • ffmpeg – Can remux and optimize containers but is more complex; mkclean is specialized for Matroska/WebM optimization
  • mkvtoolnix – Provides extensive Matroska editing capabilities; mkclean focuses specifically on optimization and cleaning
