MKVmerge Batcher

MKVmerge is a lightweight component of the MKVToolnix collection, which provides a comprehensive set of tools for handling Matroska files. Delivered as a console-based tool, MKVmerge can extract input from multiple media files and join them together to output an MKV video. Aiming to make things even easier for those who need to handle multiple media files, the MKVmerge Batcher helps you build models and presets that can streamline work, ease tasks and run batch operations on multiple files, provided they have the same track structure.

There is no need to install MKVmerge Batcher, as it is a portable application, up and running as soon as you double-click on the main executable. The focus is on functionality rather than looks, so you shouldn’t be too surprised when you discover a GUI with a very basic appearance.

You are prompted to select the video file path, meaning you are the one to browse for the folder where all your media files are stored. MKVmerge Batcher can look for compatible media in subfolders as well if you configure it to do so. File name exclusions can also be applied, as configured in the Options window.

And speaking of the Options window, you should have a look at it beforehand, because the location of MKVmerge must be configured. You can also choose extension-based and name-based exclusions. The application can also run in multiple instances, which means that you can run several models at once.

But how do models work?

MKVmerge Batcher relies on models to execute tasks. User-created models can include multiple video, audio and subtitle files that can be merged together to generate a Matroska file that will contain them all. For instance, if we have an MKV file with a video and an audio stream, a separate audio file and a subtitle file, we can merge them all together using a model created with MKVmerge Batcher.

MKVmerge Batcher is, as its name suggests, a batch tool for running MKVmerge tasks. You can use it freely to merge multiple media files together into a single container. In other words, not only that it eases the work with MKVmerge, but it also provides a more user-friendly GUI to replace the console application.
