Batch Script for mux mp4 to mkv using mkvmerge

[iKron]

I have folder structure like this

C:\TV\1\file.mp4
C:\TV\2\file.mp4
C:\TV\3\file.mp4

i want to mux mp4 to mkv and remove the mp4 file after that. i got a sample batch script but it require to place it inside the folder where the file is located.

FOR %%A IN (*.mp4) DO "C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix\mkvmerge.exe" -o "%%~nA.mkv" "%%~A"

i am not sure how can i add command by which batch script will read all the subfolder files. any help please?

I would like to do the same but NOT remove the mp4 file?

Neither of the above batch files deletes the source video. If you wanted to delete the source videos you would have add a second command:

FOR /R %%A IN (*.mp4) DO (
    "G:\Program Files\MKVToolNix\mkvmerge.exe" -o "%%~dpnA.mkv" "%%~dpnxA"
    del "%%~dpnxA"
    )

iKron didn't ask about that so I assumed he already know that part.

over 3 years later.......thank you so much for this. We have a relatively new Amazon Fire TV that doesn't like mp4s, but has no issue with mkvs. I had been searching for a tool to batch-convert and had not found quite the right thing - each file i have in it's own folder, and the last script i tried generated the MKVs into the root folder instead of the source folder. This script is doing exactly what i need it to, so thank you!
