archivos mkv

Para trabajar con archivos de video mkv existe un programa muy específico llamado MKVToolNix GUI

con el podremos entre otras muchas cosas quitar los subtítulos y/o las pistas de audio de los idiomas que no nos interesen .

Lo instalamos desde synaptic o con la terminal:

sudo apt install ffmpeg mkvtoolnix mkvtool-gui

Otro caso de uso sería para extraer un archivo de subtítulos de un video que venga en formato mkv, con el fin de traducirlo luego al idioma que queramos y tomando como base lo citado en

ffmpeg -i video.mkv mkvextract tracks video.mkv 4:video.srt [HowTo] Extracción de los subtitulos de videos ‘matroska’ (‘.mkv’) mediante ‘mkvextract’Descarga

Para traducir encontré por ahora esta web

Existe la posibilidad de utilizar al editor de video kdenlive para ese fin, como lo menciono en

Alrighty, let's do another MKVToolNix release, v98.0 this time. Again, pretty small in scope, but then again there's no use in not doing a release, so why not? 😂 Have fun! https://www.bunkus.org/2026/04/2026-04-05-mkvtoolnix-v98-released/ #MKVToolNix #Matroska

Kaum damit fertig, meine DvD uns Bluray Sammlung zu rippen und via #SteamDeck und #Kodi ins heimische Wohnzimmer zu bringen, hab ich hier einen Nachmittag einen vollständigen Internetausfall.

Ist mir doch egal :)

After breaking out `strace` and just a ton of other stuff I finally figured out what was going on. A single encoder option was invalid which caused the workers to crash before even writing the file in the data directory. Fixing the setting cleared up the issue and made everything happy.

What caused this rabbithole initially was `av1an` eating itself when trying to put the video and audio stuff together at the end of an encode. Unfortunately the `audio.mkv` file it was trying to mux into the container kept causing `mkvmerge` to fail because the audio file was empty. _This_ was caused by bad audio encoder options being passed to `ffmpeg`.

I made sure I documented both of these and I'm currently running test videos before calling it 100% good.
