I just wanted to add that once you have this tool set up, batch muxing and converting the audio for a folder full of .mkv files is very easy and convenient. Basically just select the input and output folders and hit the Run button. The gui could use a bit of work such as letting the user resize it. It seems to want to be the height of the desktop insisting on being underneath the Taskbar on the bottom of the screen. That doesn't really hinder usage very much. It's just a minor annoyance. But it does what it's designed to do.

I was using MKVextractGui, MKVmergeGui and the little dts2ac3 batch folder package to demux DTS, convert audio to ac3, then mux. This tool does all that, plus it will download the MKV tools if you don't already have them. The ui is a little bit quirky, which is the reason for the 8 score. If you have a blinking red error msg try doing the audio settings again even if you already set them. Then the error msg may disappear(at least that's what happened on my first use.) But such things you get used to if you use a program often. I think I will be using this one regularly. Thanks to the author for making this tool available. If you have the first generation of WD HDTV player for USB, which doesn't down mix DTS, then this is a good tool to have in your media toolkit.

All those with any nmt based solution, knows the problem: ogm files won't play, and DTS audio is not always available on your TV. This tool converts automatically the audio to AC3, also remuxes your ogm files to mkv. So, they can be playable to your nmt easy, fast and free. Officially is a tool for the lucky owners of the Popcorn Hour A100, but nothing prohibits it to be used for free if you have any other nmt based player. It is very easy to use and you need an Internet connection to download external tools. It is an automatic procedure, you won't need to do a thing. Overall, a tool (a GUI actually of various tools) that gives a solution to a specific problem. You know when you need it!
