Need Help With Header Info

[Damundai]

Small problem over here. I am remastering my Bluray copy of Smallville (running it thru AI to enhance video quality a bit) and the end product seems really good. My problem is that it has stripped all of the header info out of the resulting file (of which there are 200+ episodes).

Header information is the same order in all files:
Title
Video Info
Audio Track 1 (DTS 5.1)
Audio Track 2 (Stereo)

Is there a way to batch edit all of these files at once and add the info needed into each file without having to individually do them in MKVToolNix? It's a long process and it's driving me nuts!

Thanks for any help provided!!

You should be able to automate mkvpropedit in the scripting environment of your choice.

I'm honestly surprised that your AI processing setup completely wipes out all the metadata. That’s a major hassle, especially when you’re dealing with a large number of episodes and each file needs the same metadata restored — titles, video info, audio tracks, subs, etc.
You might want to take a closer look at your processing pipeline. A lot of modern tools (especially if you're using ffmpeg or any AI wrappers around it) have options to preserve or copy metadata from the source files. For example, with ffmpeg, adding -map_metadata 0 can retain original metadata in the output.
If you don’t handle it during the processing step, you're stuck having to add everything back in manually or figure out some kind of post-processing automation. And that gets even worse if your episodes have multiple audio languages, subs, or season-specific tags in the headers.
If you’re planning to do more remastering projects like this, it’s definitely worth spending some time optimizing the pipeline now to save yourself a ton of repetitive work later. If you want, I can help dig into your setup and see where the metadata is getting stripped.

Was your post supposed to be posted somewhere else?

Topaz AI?
It uses the ffmpeg command to convert the image.
You can copy it and add -map metadata to the command.
