About:
MKVToolNix is a comprehensive suite of command-line tools and a GUI for working with Matroska (MKV) container files. It allows users to inspect, merge, split, edit, and remux video, audio, and subtitle tracks without re-encoding. Its primary value is providing granular control over multimedia container structures for advanced video editing and archival workflows.
Key Features:
  • mkvmerge: Mux multiple multimedia streams into a single MKV file
  • mkvinfo: Display detailed technical information about MKV file contents
  • mkvpropedit: Edit container properties, track headers, and chapters without remuxing
  • mkvextract: Extract tracks, attachments, chapters, and tags from MKV files
Use Cases:
  • Combining separate video, audio, and subtitle files into a single MKV container
  • Adding or removing subtitle tracks and audio streams from existing video files
  • Editing metadata, chapter markers, and track properties without re-encoding
Alternatives:
  • FFmpeg – FFmpeg is a broader multimedia framework, while MKVToolNix specializes specifically in Matroska container manipulation with more intuitive track management
  • HandBrake – HandBrake focuses on transcoding video formats, whereas MKVToolNix preserves original quality by working with container muxing and demuxing
