What is it ?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

MKVCleaver is a front end (GUI) for MKVExtract.exe (from MKVToolNix<\/a> package by Moritz Bunkus) which extracts data from MKV files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MKVExtract is a command line tool and is capable of extracting tracks, attachments, tags, subtitles and other information from an MKV file, but it can only work with one file at a time. And many times if you are dealing with TV shows they come as many separate MKV files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you wanted to modify stream data (video, audio, subtitles) inside of an MKV file you would need to extract data first (could be a subtitle track to fix display issues, for example), adjust it and then mux it back together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now imagine doing this process one by one on dozens and sometimes hundreds of files ! Way too much time and work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that’s what MKVCleaver does: it allows you to automate the extraction process to the point where you can set it up and walk away then come back and work on the extracted files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
