Components[edit]

For most other cases in which you encounter movies split into multiple parts, the »append« functionality is what you want to use as all the files contain full sets of headers. Mkvmerge, mkvinfo, mkvpropedit, MKVToolNix GUI: added support for the following new track header elements: 'hearing impaired' flag, 'visual impaired' flag, 'text descriptions' flag, 'original' flag, 'commentary' flag. Implements #3011. MKVToolNix GUI: added support for using ISO 639-3 language codes in IETF BF47 language tags. However, mkvmerge, which is doing all the work, is fully scriptable via its command line. There are excellent shells out there with which you can automate pretty much all aspects of muxing. For example, with the bash or zsh shells you could convert all.avi files into Matroska with these commands.
