Version history:
2009-08-13 Moritz Bunkus
* Released v2.9.8.
* mmg: bug fix: The inputs for timecode files and the language are deactivated if the user has selected a track that will be appended to another track. Fix for bug 432.

2009-08-06 Moritz Bunkus
* mmg: bug fix: mmg will handle multiple consecutive spaces in the options given with "add command line options" properly and not cause mkvmerge to exit with misleading error messages anymore. The "add command line options" dialog has been reordered, and the drop down box in it is now read-only. Fixes for bug 429.
* doc, mmg: bug fix: The tooltip and documentation for the 'delay' option was misleading. Fix for bug 420.

2009-07-31 Moritz Bunkus
* mmg/header editor: enhancement: Implemented a considerable speedup in the processing of large files.

2009-07-30 Moritz Bunkus
* mmg/header editor: bug fix: The header editor copes better with files that do not contain all mandatory header fields. The missing ones are added or assumed to be default values.

2009-07-23 Moritz Bunkus
* all: bug fix: Selecting the translations with the "--ui-language" option did not work on Mac OS X.

2009-07-16 Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed an invalid memory access in the VobSub reader module. Fix for bug 426.
* mmg: bug fix: Tracks added from Matroska files did not get their 'default track' drop down box set correctly if the flag was 'off' in the source file and no other track of its kind hat its 'default track' flag set.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge was wrongly turning the 'default track' flag back on for the first subtitle track muxed from a Matroska file if none of the subtitle tracks muxed had their 'default track' flag set in their source files and if the user didn't use the '--default-track' option for setting that flag explicitely.

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~!
