Remove segments from .MKV

[SurreaL49]

Hey everyone,

I have a .MKV file which links 2 other .MKV files (to play them at two different moments). I would like to remove those links. I've been looking for a while but the best solution I was able to find is a Debian script and my OS is Windows 7.

What I want to do is not to delete the other files (and thus this cannot be the solution), but really to delete the links to the segments.

I am trying to use mkvToolNix: I've already found how to create link (pretty easy) but I haven't managed to find how to delete those.

Thank you,

There is no easy way on windows

The script you've probably heard of is unlinkmkv

On windows, the manual way to fix this:

1) extract the chapter files
2) find out where the split points between different files are
3) split the main file into multiple files (around the split points) using mkvmerge
4) append files to each other with mkvmerge so that everything is in the right order in one file.

Thank you very much for the answer, hadn't found that website.
This method is going to take a while...

Thanks,

Hi everyone,

MKVToolnix isn't quite enough in a lot of cases, as some of the releases have some issues and require some attachment remuxing and other stuff. The script doesn't work on Windows. I have a pull request in right now to have that fixed but I've actually written a GUI around it which hopefully will make it easier for everyone, including Windows users.

You can see my blog post on it here: http://vaughanhilts.me/blog/2015/04/30/unlinking-mkvs-on-windows-osx-linux.html

The GitHub page is here: https://github.com/hilts-vaughan/UnlinkMKV-GUI

You will be able to unlink on Windows fairly painlessly if you follow those instructions. Drop me a line on Github if you end up needing help.

​Hope this helps some people!
