Version history:
2010-01-18 Moritz Bunkus
* Released v3.1.0.

2010-01-11 Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If the first input file was a Quicktime/MP4 file and all tracks from that file were deselected for muxing then mkvmerge would crash. Fix for bug 458.

2010-01-09 Moritz Bunkus
* mmg: bug fix: The option 'AAC is SBR/HE-AAC' was not honored for appended AAC tracks. This could lead to mkvmerge aborting with an error that the track parameters did not match if it itself could not detect HE-AAC in the second file.

2010-01-06 Moritz Bunkus
* documentation: Added a Chinese Simplified translation for mmg's guide by Dean Lee (see AUTHORS).

2010-01-05 Moritz Bunkus
* documentation: Added a Japanese translation for the man pages by Katsuhiko Nishimra (see AUTHORS).

2010-01-03 Moritz Bunkus
* mmg: bug fix: The output file name is checked for invalid characters before the muxing process is started. Fix for bug 455.
* mkvpropedit, mmg: bug fix: Files with an infinite segment size are handled correctly now. Fix for bug 438.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Matroska files which have its 'tracks' element located behind the clusters are read correctly now.
* mmg: enhancement: After muxing the "abort" button is changed to "open folder" which opens the explorer on the output file's folder. This only happens on Windows.

2010-01-02 Moritz Bunkus
* mmg: enhancement: When constructing the output file name mmg will only suggest names that don't exist already by appending a number to the file name (e.g. resulting in "/path/file (1).mkv").

2009-12-30 Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for reading chapters from MP4 files that are stored in tracks with subtype 'text'. Such files are used e.g. on iPods/iPhones and can be created by HandBrake. Fix for bug 454.

* mkvextract: new feature: Added support for extracting Blu-Ray subtitles (CodecID "S_HDMV/PGS").

Sweet this is awesome as now can extract PGS subs from bluray .mkv rips created with makemkv. Gotta wait though for Mac OS X version hopefully coming out soon.

The latest version will not open in Mac OSX 10.5.8. Sticking with 2.3.0 for now. Great program though.

I love this tool, I use it to remove unwanted Audio and Subtitle Tracks from videos all of the time :)!

I also sometimes use it to join split videos, but that rarely ever happens, since I always look for non-split videos.

Fantastic.
Joined two 4.5GB mkv files together seamlessly (no stutterers/chirps) in just over 6 minutes.
Brilliant.

by far the best set of tools for MKV container extraction/rebuilding. Very simple and straight forward. The only downside is it doesn't include MKVExtractGUI

This thing just works! File after file. No bloopers. Blazing fast (2-3 minutes for a typical 4.5 BDRip). I'm using it to strip/add tracks from MKV files.

THe mkv extract works just great~! I can extract my mkv files into video, audio, and subtitles files for editting. It works really fast too. No long waiting time. Although doing batch file processing it's a bit more complicated since you need to create a .bat file and etc. but overall it's a great tool~! I like it~!
