Ubuntu - Video - Join MKV files

Joining Two MKV files.


Use mkvtoolnix

sudo apt-get install mkvtoolnix mkvtoolnix-gui
  • Start mmg (graphical user interface for mkvmerge)
  • “Add” the first file
  • “Append” the second one, third, fourth, …
  • Set output name in the textbox at the bottom
  • “Start muxing”

Subtitles are preserved and properly concatenated, so are audio and video. Chapters can be edited in the resulting file with mmg.

This procedure creates a properly muxed file.

Any problems should be mentioned in the “log”-window in mmg.

You can even set and name audio and subtitle tracks with the correct language codes and Annotations like “Forced” or “Directors Commentary”.


Use mkvmerge

If you plan to do this repeatedly on different files you better use the command line version mkvmerge ("mkvmerge --help")

mkvmerge -o output.mkv input1.mkv +input2.mkv
