MKVToolNix is a free collection of programs for creating and editing Matroska multimedia files. Because it is open source, free and there are versions for all major operating systems, MKVToolNix is ​​one of the most popular applications for this task. Especially for macOS users , the selection of such high-quality programs is small.

Overview

The program consists of several command line applications ( mkvmerge, mkvinfo, mkvextract, mkvpropedit ) and a graphical user interface (GUI). The program uses the libraries libebml and libmatroska for reading and writing EBML or Matroska container files .

Due to its complexity, MKVToolnix is ​​aimed at users with advanced knowledge, and especially the command line programs are not intuitive and therefore very difficult to use by inexperienced users.

With version 8, the old wxWidgets -based GUI was replaced by one based on Qt .
