Once you have your desired final file, just click on "Start multiplexing", and you will get the final file. At the same time, if you have audio in another language and you want to add it to a movie, you can combine them and generate a new file that includes both. For example, if there is a movie that contains a subtitle file that you need, MKVToolnix allows you to extract that file. MKVToolnix is very versatile when it comes to integrating or extracting elements from a file. Initially released in 2003, MKVToolnix is an open source program available for all computer operating systems. This video format is the most widely used for movies and series because it can include several audios and subtitles in a multitude of languages within the same file. Sorry it wasn't more complex than that, but why make it more complicated than it has to be? Simple is best.MKVToolnix is an application for editing and converting videos in Matroska format, better known as MKV. When it's done, open your newly created MKV file, pause the video, and, in VLC for example, click on "Playback" in the menu, navigate to "Chapters", and select your chapter to verify the chapter timing is accurate. If you have completed everything else for your video muxing project, then you are ready to click the "Start Multiplexing" button at the bottom of the MKVToolNix application window.

In the "Chapter File:" field, you'll notice the file path for your chapters file is now filled in. Navigate to your chapter file, select it, and click "Open". In the "Chapter File:" field, click the blue folder icon to open a navigation window to open your chapter file.

In the tab, click on the "Output" tab, and on the right side of the window you'll find the "Chapters" group. In MKVToolNix, open a new tab if one is not already open. The values in blue are those that are variable, where the chapter # increments sequentially by one as an identifier for both chapter time and chapter name: the chapter time in 00:00:00.000 format, and the chapter name using any Unicode characters ( be careful to modify the text file Unicode settings in Notepad's "Save As." window depending on the Unicode setting required for the text you are using for your chapter name). TXT file, will give you a template to use for your future video muxing projects. The following chapters are used here an example for Horriblesubs release of Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro episode 2.Ĭopy and paste the following into Notepad, saving as a. There is a simple means to compose chapters for videos using nothing but Notepad text editor, with relatively little code at all.
