Hello fellow gentle humans!
Here’s a small update for MKVToolNix, v89. Must keep the fixes flowing! Hope y’all are having a mostly stress-less end of the year.
You can download the source code or one of the packages. The Windows packages as well as the Linux AppImage are available already. The other Linux packages are still being built and will be available over the course of the next couple of hours. Due to technical issues the macOS disk image is not available yet, and I cannot give you an ETA when it’ll be done as I currently don’t have access to a working macOS build environment.
Here are the NEWS since the previous release:
Version 89.0 “And the Melody Still Lingers On (Night in Tunisia)” 2024-12-27
New features and enhancements
- mkvmerge: AC-3 writer: mkvmerge will now use the codec ID
A_AC3even for streams with bitstream IDs 9 or 10 instead of the deprecated codec IDsA_AC3/BSID9&A_AC3/BSID10. Fixes #2387. - MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the mechanism for setting track languages to specific values upon adding a file has gotten a new option to always set the language, no matter whether or not the source container provided a track language or what it was set to.
- all command-line tools: implemented an escape mechanism for when you want to use the
@sign as the first character in an argument to an option such as--title. To escape it the@sign has to be doubled as in--title @@midnight. Implements #3768.
Bug fixes
- mkvmerge, mkvpropedit, MKVToolNix GUI’s multiplexer & header editor: the MIME type for TrueType & OpenType fonts will be set properly to either the current MIME types
font/ttf&font/otfor to the legacy MIME typesapplication/x-truetype-font&application/vnd.ms-opentypedepending on whether the “use legacy font MIME types” option is disabled or enabled, even if the MIME database used by Qt returns the wrong one or even other MIME types such asapplication/x-font-ttf&application/x-font-otf. This was the case on Windows due to Qt 6.7.3 switching to a different embedded MIME database. Partially fixes #3751. - MKVToolNix GUI’s multiplexer & header editor: ensured that both the legacy & the current font MIME types are always present in the MIME type combo boxes of attachments, no matter what Qt’s MIME type database contains. Partially fixes #3751.
- MKVToolNix GUI: the “disable tooltips” option in the preference will now disable the tooltip for the status bar, too.
Have fun! 😁

Hey y’all!
Time for another small update to MKVToolNix, v88. Still not much going on at the moment. But still… enjoy!
You can download the source code or one of the packages. The Windows packages and macOS disk image as well as the Linux AppImage are available already. The other Linux packages are still being built and will be available over the course of the next couple of hours.
Here are the NEWS since the previous release:
New features and enhancements

Bug fixes
- configure: fixed setting
HAVE_QTDBUSproperly if the QtDbus module is found. Fixes #3744. - mkvmerge: MP4 reader: mkvmerge will no longer warn when multiple identical FourCCs are present within the same track headers. Fixes #3748.
- mkvmerge man page: removed the wrong statement that an attachment’s MIME type must be set before use of the
--attach-file&--attach-file-onceoptions. If not given, mkvmerge auto-detects the MIME type.
Have fun! 😁
MKVToolNix v87.0 released

Heyo!
here’s a small, new MKVToolNix release, v87. Not a lot going on, to be honest. See below for details!
You can download the source code or one of the packages. The Windows packages and macOS disk image as well as the Linux AppImage are available already. The other Linux packages are still being built and will be available over the course of the next couple of hours.
Here are the NEWS since the previous release:
New features and enhancements
- mkvmerge: chapters: added support for specifying MPLS files with
--chapters, too, not just as regular source files. The documentation stated this was possible already, but that wasn’t actually the case. Implements/fixes #3735. - MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: added a progress dialog that is shown during file identification.
- MKVToolNix GUI: jobs: the status bar now differentiates between numbers of warnings/errors that occurred in the current session and those that occurred before the current session. Implements #3732.
Bug fixes
- mkvmerge: AAC parser: LOAS/LATM streams: if the first
AudioSpecificConfigelement is not found within the first LOAS/LATM frame,mkvmergewill no longer discard the frames before it but defer parsing them until after it has found theAudioSpecificConfigelement. Fixes #3727. - MKVToolNix GUI: job queue: fixed the GUI crashing when re-ordering the jobs in the job queue. This regression was introduced while fixing #3720. Fixes #3729.
Have fun!
