Version 9.5.0 of MKVToolNix has been released. This collection of open source programs allows viewing, editing, and conversion of Matroska files. For example, sound tracks and subtitles can be added, removed or set as default. MKVToolNix is a collection of separate command line tools, but a graphical user interface is also included. Downloads are available for Windows, various Linux distributions, and macOS. The changelog for this release can be found below.
Changes in MKVToolNix version 9.5.0:
- mkvmerge, mkvextract: VobSub handling bug fix: mkvmerge and mkvextract will now update the duration stored in the SPU bitsream with the duration from the container level if it differs at least 1ms. Fixes #1771†
- mkvmerge: h.264 elementary stream handling bug fix: if mkvmerge ever encounters changing SPS or PPS NALUs (ones where their ID has been encountered before with different settings) in the h.264 then it will prepend all following key frames with all currently active SPS and PPS NALUs. This enables playback from arbitrary key frames even if they require other SPS or PPS settings than the ones stored in the AVCC in CodecPrivate. Fixes #1711†
- mkvmerge, mkvpropedit, MKVToolNix GUI: added support for the “field order” video track header element.
- mkvinfo: added support for the “field order” video track header element. Patch by James Almer (see AUTHORS).
- mkvmerge: MPEG transport stream reader bug fix: fixed the handling of Blu-ray PCM audio with an odd number of channels by removing their alignment bytes.
- mkvmerge: MPEG transport stream reader bug fix: fixed mis-detection of certain h.264 files as MPEG transport streams.
- mkvmerge: WAV reader bug fix: the track properties (channels, sample rate) for DTS and AC-3 in WAV will now be derived from the decoded bitstream headers instead of the WAV file header as the latter is often incorrect.
- mkvmerge: WAV reader bug fix: fixed detection and merging of DTS in WAV that uses the 14-bytes-in-16-bytes packing method.
- MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: added menu entries that execute the “close”, “save settings”, “start muxing” or “add to job queue” action for all currently open tabs.
- MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: when dragging & dropping directories the GUI will process all files within those directories recursively instead.
- mkvpropedit, MKVToolNix GUI’s header editor: added options to modify the “muxing application” and “writing application” elements in the “segment information” container. implementations #1788†
- mkvmerge: bug fix: The Ogg/OGM reader did not recognize Opus files with comment headers anymore. This was broken by the fix to not require Ogg/OGM files to have comment headers in v9.4.0.
