MKVToolNix is a set of tools to create, alter, split, join and inspect Matroska files(mkv). With these tools one can get information about (mkvinfo) Matroska files, extract tracks/data from (mkvextract) Matroska files and create (mkvmerge) Matroska files from other media files. Matroska is a multimedia file format aiming to become THE new container format for the future. Use MKVCleaver or gMKVExtractGUI to extract/demultiplex mkv video and audio files.

# Version 70.0.0 "Caught A Lite Sneeze" 2022-08-14
## New features and enhancements
* MKVToolNix GUI: the user can now control where the job queue files & the preferences INI file are stored via environment variables. If set, the variable `MKVTOOLNIX_GUI_STATE_DIR` can point to a directory where the GUI stores both the job queue sub-directory and the preferences INI file. If you only want to relocate the preferences INI file, you can store the desired file name for the INI file in `MKVTOOLNIX_GUI_CONFIG_FILE`. Implements #3382.
* MKVToolNix GUI: when adding directories via drag & drop/copy & paste the GUI will now offer the user the option to create one multiplex settings tab per directory & adding all files from that directory to the corresponding, newly created tab. Implements #3371.
## Bug fixes
* mkvmerge: AV1 OBU parser: fixed identifying files that only contain single frame. Fixes #3380.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when reading color parameters from identified files that are floating point numbers (minimum/maximum luminance, projection pitch/roll/yaw) the numbers will be formatted in floating-point notation instead of scientific notation as mkvmerge only supports the former. Fixes #3368.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: color parameters that are floating point numbers (minimum/maximum luminance, projection pitch/roll/yaw) will only be set to a value during identification if the identification actually contains the property, and not to 0 anymore if it doesn't.
## Build system changes
* Several merge requests where accepted that improve compilation on MSYS2 on Windows. Note that this build type isn't supported.

This software works as expected. Thanks. I don’t often post reviews, but I wanted to offset the 1/10 review just posted by someone who didn’t even leave a comment.

@Ultra3,
I'm aware of the VxKex project and hacked QT6 dlls, it is an interesting project and perhaps a potential future solution for the average user that would not know how to rewrite the source and compile it. However, in its current incarnation it won't work when the dependencies are built into the program file(s), as is the case with MKVToolnix and many others. Moreover, it hasn't been updated in over 3 months and it's current development is paused. Same applies for the hacked QT6 dlls. In their current state neither VxKex nor the hacked QT6 dlls are realistically an option for programs with embedded dependencies.
