    I try to multiplex the video track and one audio track from the same mkv file

    I used following command:

    mkvmerge -o output.mkv -d 0 Video.mkv -a 1 Video.mkv

    But every track also mix in together, I only want track 0 and Track 1 though

    The official document says -d means selected video track, -a means selected audio track

    Is there any lines I am not entering correctly here ?

    I totally agree.

    If you want to do it via the command line then these examples may help.

    If you have other tracks in a video - subtitles, chapters, etc., then the track numbers will change.
    You can get the track numbers using MediaInfo. Mostly.
    If the languages for the audio and subtitle tracks are undefined then it's trial and error to get the correct combination.

    If you have 1 video with 3 audio tracks.
    The video and audio track 1
    Code:
    mkvmerge.exe --output Video-New.mkv --audio-tracks 1 Video-c.mkv --track-order 0:0,0:1
    The video and audio track 2
    Code:
    mkvmerge.exe --output Video-New.mkv --audio-tracks 2 Video-c.mkv --track-order 0:0,0:2
    The video and audio track 3
    Code:
    mkvmerge.exe --output Video-New.mkv --audio-tracks 3 Video-c.mkv --track-order 0:0,0:3
    If you have 2 videos and want the video from 1 and the audio from 2.
    Code:
    mkvmerge.exe --output Video-New.mkv --no-audio Video-a.mp4 --no-video Video-b.mp4 --track-order 0:0,1:1
    It's a good idea to define the language.
    Code:
    mkvmerge.exe --output Video-New.mkv --audio-tracks 1 --language 1:en Video-c.mkv --track-order 0:0,0:1
    I hope these help.
    Again, it's better to use MKVtoolnixGUI

    Cheers

    I just tried your method, but it still mix in every tracks

    I use command lines in Linux, I agree it's easier to do it in windows with mkvtoolnix gui
