In-depth understanding of the mkv format (aka: where is the difference?)
5 projects | /r/mkvtoolnix | 19 Feb 2022

For general parsing of the tag/length/value format & the variable-length thingies, see the EBML specification. Refer to the Matroska specification I've linked to above for which element IDs are actually assigned and what their meaning is.

How to get rid of ASS track name?
1 project | /r/mkvtoolnix | 30 Apr 2023

Huh… interesting.und is about the track language, though. There might be a bug in the code deriving track languages from file names, and I'd like to look into it some more. Can you please upload one such ASS file along with your MKVToolNix GUI preferences file to my file server? That'd be a big help. Thanks!
video length changes after cut and concatenate
1 project | /r/mkvtoolnix | 16 Apr 2023

Is it just slightly off? Looks like mkvtoolnix will only cut at key frames. https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/-/issues/1088 Without more info, my first guess is that it's rounding to the nearest key frames in the source material, slight altering duration.
Is it possible to remove audio streams and subtitles in bulk using the CLI?

In my FAQ there's an entry on automation containing several examples, some in bash, some in Ruby.
Audio track way too long; how to fix?
1 project | /r/mkvtoolnix | 10 Apr 2023
Occasionally for mkvmerge, for very short durations (say 5 secs or less), VIDEO-only + silent-only AUDIO, resulting MKV has no audio track.
1 project | /r/mkvtoolnix | 9 Apr 2023

Interesting; that sounds like a bug. Can you please open a new issue over on Gitlab for it & upload one such audio file (only the m4a you "extracted") to my file server, please? I'd like to take a look at it, but without an entry in the issue tracker chances are I'll forget about it again. Thanks.

Please update the wiki to include the details around `--normalize-language-ietf mode`, I am using `extlang` such that e.g. `zh` will match.
