NAME

       mkvtoolnix-gui - a GUI for mkvmerge(1) including a chapter and a header editor

SYNOPSIS

       mkvtoolnix-gui [[configuration-file-name.mtxcfg] | [source-file.ext] |
                      [--edit-chapters [chapter-file.ext]] |
                      [--edit-headers [matroska-file.mkv]]]

DESCRIPTION

       mkvtoolnix-gui(1) is a Qt based GUI for mkvmerge(1) (and will evolve to cover mkvinfo(1)
       and mkvextract(1) as well). It offers easy access to most of mkvmerge(1)'s options. All
       settings (e.g. source files, track options etc) can be saved and restored.

       Listing configuration file names with the extension .mtxcfg causes the GUI to load the
       those configuration files in the appropriate tool. Any other file name is added as a
       source file for multiplexing, opened in the chapter editor or in the header editor
       depending on the current mode. The current mode can be changed with --merge,
       --edit-chapters or --edit-headers. The default mode is adding files for multiplexing.

       Note that if an instance of the application is already running when the application is
       started a second time, all file names given on the command line are handled by the
       already-running instance.

       --merge
           All following file names will be added as source files to the current multiplex job.
           This is the default mode.

       --edit-chapters
           All following file names will be opened in the chapter editor.

       --edit-headers
           All following file names will be opened in the header editor.

       -h, --help
           Show usage information and exit.

       -V, --version
           Show version information and exit.
