I highly recommend using MKVToolNix's CLI exe's instead of FFmpeg's because in my experience, FFmpeg removes or rearranges existing tags, or adds some unnecessary tags like stats and duration. This should remove the header title, by simply putting no value after the equal sign.įor %Z in ('*.mkv') do mkvpropedit.exe '%Z' -edit info -set title= You can use MKVToolNix's very own CLI exe's to batch remove the Header tags (like the Header's Title counterpart) fast and easily without remuxing.įor example, if I have a few MKV's inside a particular folder, I use something like below. Quite far back in time, I used to create external XML files then put them inside using MVKToolNix. Then when viewed with MediaInfo using its HTML View, the titles are separated with a slash.

In my personal practice, I just put the same value to both the Header and XML titles. As a user of Mp3tag, I think this should be the appearance, pattern, or arrangement of an external XML tag file that we should follow to prevent unwanted or conflicting display of XML tags. For example, tag an MKV file with Mp3tag with as many tags as you could, then save, then open that same MKV file into chapterEditor to see the difference. Mp3tag as main tagger, and most importantly as recursive batch tagger.ĬhapterEditor as secondary, but more complex. JMkpropedit can handle multiple files too. JMkpropedit, which needs MKVToolNix's CLI exe's, since it's just a GUI for it.For now an unofficial but recognized XML tag simply named as ROTATE (value can be 90, 180, 270 for example) could be put in to the video track for lossless auto-rotation during playback by the likes of MPC-HC, MPC-BE, and PotPlayer. To directly invoke MKVToolNix GUI's Header editor main tab, I use this parameter in Mp3tag's Tools:Īnyway, there are new entries here which tackle lossless rotation in Matroska but not yet supported by players. While MKVToolNix CLI exe's can be used in a Batch file to batch put/edit such header tags. But back at the left pane, there is Attachments at the lowest, where a cover or any attchment could be added and deleted. At the left pane, click Segment Information, then Title. Open MKVToolNix, click the main left tab called Header editor, you can drag and drop an MKV there. The Header tags I believe are invented first, but limited only to a number of set tags, unlike XML which can have as many and as unofficially. I think MPC-HC and MPC-BE favor the XML titles over the Header ones. Depends on the media player on which title it would prefer to display. In my experience, an MKV or any Matroska file can have both. That title is probably the Header tag title, not the XML tag title.
