Can I use MKVmerge to process a folder full of m2ts

[boe]

Hello,

If I have a folder full of m2ts files - individual episodes, that I'd like to convert to MKVs but keep them as individual mkv files. Is there a way to load them up in the GUI and not join them but convert them?

makemkv or add to job queue option with mkvmerge

Thanks if I use makemkv, and go to open files in that folder, non of the m2ts files show.

I do not know how to add the job queue option in the mkvmerge gui if add all the m2ts files, it merges them into a single mkv file. I found a job queue queue but it seems like I'd have to create a job for a 100 files although perhaps I'm misunderstanding how it works.

I have a folder with hundreds of individually named m2ts files. I'd like something that converts them all to individual mkv files of the same name - just with the mkv extension. I do not want to name each one by hand. or do a lot of work creating a job for each individually. Is this possible?

Thanks! Is there any way to do it in the GUI?

Can MMG iterate through all the files in a folder and remux each one into an MKV. No.

Does MMG have lots of fancy graphics and complicated GUI to walk a user through any task they may happen to need done. Nope.

MMG is a basic, utilitarian interface for the MKVMerge program. The developer has better things to do then spend massive amounts of time prettying everything up. If you need to select specific tracks in a file or you're dong a one off job then MMG is the program for you. If you just want to blindly mux things from one folder to another, that's catered for too, it's called the command line. I was halfway through writing my own chapter editor because the MMG chapter editor is insufficient but there's no command line version for that, since no one has bothered writing a better GUI for the batch muxing of MKVs it can't be much all that necessary. It's doubtful it would be any easier than simply typing in a command in any case.
