MKVToolNix is available on the Microsoft Store for a small fee. This is a way for you to support the development financially while getting automatica updates in return.

Part 4: MKVToolNix for Mac Alternative - One-Click to Convert and Edit MKV Files on Mac. Editing MKV files with MKVToolNix can be a challenge for most Mac users, not only because of the relatively hard process to download it, but also for its complicated UI for novice users to interpret, let along the reportedly errors with it, such as V9.7.1 DMG is missing a library and leads to a crash. MKVToolnix is a set of tools to create, alter and inspect Matroska files. With these tools one can get information about (mkvinfo) Matroska files, extract tracks/data from (mkvextract) Matroska files and create (mkvmerge) Matroska files from other media files. MKVToolNix is a powerful and streamlined multi-platform utility that gives you access to all the tools needed for creating and processing Matroska files on a Macintosh computer. Built-in command-line interface and Matroska metadata adjusting tools. MKVToolNix is a set of tools to create, alter and inspect Matroska files under Linux, other Unices and Windows. Since May 1st 2003, the Matroska libraries themselves and my Matroska tools are officially available. I urge you to download the software, use it and report any errors you encounter to me.

Mkvtoolnix Extract Mp3

MKVToolNix is an open source set of command-line and graphical utilities that empower users to extract streams from MKV files, display information about MKV files, merge several MKV streams into one, and split Matroska media files. The resulting files from MKVToolNix can be played back with various media players on Linux/UNIX, or with the Matroska Direct Show filters under Windows operating systems.
Comprises of several command-line and graphical tools
The main tools are mkvmerge, mkvextract, mkvinfo, mmg and mkvpropedit. While the mkvmerge component can be used for joining two or more multimedia streams into a single Matroska file, the mkvextract tool will split MKV files into separate streams.
Supports a wide range of audio and subtitle formats
In addition, the mkvextract program can be used to extract audio, subtitle and video tracks, chapters, tags, CUE sheets, attachments and timecodes from Matroska files. At the moment, it supports the following track types: H.264/AVC, RealVideo, Theora, VP8/VP9, MP2, MP3, AC3, raw PCM, AAC, OGG Vorbis, TrueAudio, ALAC, FLAC, WavPack, Opus, SSA, ASS, Kate, VobSub, and USF.
Edit the properties of MKV files or view detailed information
The mkvinfo program is capable of displaying detailed information about all the elements that are included in a Matroska file. It outputs a list of tracks and provides information about the codecs used in them.
Advanced users can use the mkvpropedit tool to edit the properties of a MKV file without a complete remux. There’s also a GUI front-end for the mkvextract tool, called mmg, designed to used for editing a chapters and headers.
Supported operating systems
MKVToolNix is a platform-independent project that supports Linux (Gentoo, Arch Linux, CentOS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Mandriva, openSUSE, Slackware, Zenwalk), BSD (FreeBSD, NetBSD), Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows operating systems.
Bottom line
The truth is that you won’t find a better application for working with MKV files under a Linux-based operating system. It does for Matroska files what the OGMtools application does for OGM files.
