Convert a group of MKVs at once? Remove foreign audio?

Post by boe_d »

Hello,

I've used makemkv to convert an MKV file in the past to remove a foreign language audio track as it was the default one. I have a TV series and all the audio has German as the first language. I'd love not to have to change the language for each episode on my player. Is there a way with makemkv or another program to mass convert MKV files? There are only two audio languages on each mkv 1. German and the second is English.

Search for "mkvtoolnix". The mkvmerge utility that comes with it can re-order or remove tracks. There is a graphic interface to it, and it can be used to create a command line that can be edited to put into a batch file.
