How to install Mkvtoolnix in Ubuntu Linux. Matroska software MKVToolNix v21.0.0 is a Mkv Editor for Linux Ubuntu Systems. For MKVToolNix v21.0.0. The biggest change is that mkvinfo’s GUI portion has been removed. mkvinfo is now a pure command-line program again. Its functionality is now incorporated into MKVToolNix GUI. I am aware that the functionatliy isn’t on par yet, but it will be in time for release v22.0.0.
MKVToolNix v21.0.0
- mkvmerge: track statistics tags: the TagDefault element will not be written anymore as it was always set to the default value 1 anyway. Implements #2202.
- mkvmerge, MKVToolNix GUI: JSON files can now contain C++-style line comments outside of strings (e.g. something like this: // this is ignored). Such comments, even though not part of the official JSON specifications, are now ignored when reading JSON files.
- MKVToolNix GUI: chapter editor: opening a Matroska file without chapters in it will now open the file in an empty chapter editor instead of showing an error message. Implements #2218.
- MKVToolNix GUI: an “info” tool has been added, replacing the functionality of mkvinfo’s GUI. The functionality is not on par yet but will be for release v22. Implements most of the functionality of #2104.
