Overview
Matroska Batch Flow is designed to make batch editing of Matroska files easy and efficient. The main workflow comes down to four simple steps:
- Add files: Select the
.mkvfiles you want to process - Review: Check for any validation issues or inconsistencies across your batch
- Configure: Set container and track properties across the batch
- Process: Apply changes to all files at once
Adding Files
You can add files to a batch in two ways:
- Drag-and-drop: Drag
.mkvfiles or folders directly into the Input Page - Browse: Use the file picker to select individual files
When files are added, Matroska Batch Flow scans them to extract metadata such as track counts, languages, codec information, and flags.
Review
Validation runs automatically whenever files are added or removed. Before continuing, check for any issues or inconsistencies flagged across your batch.
Configuring Properties
Navigate to the configuration pages (General, Video, Audio, Subtitle) to set properties across all files in the batch.
Container Properties
The General page lets you configure container-level properties:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | The title metadata stored in the Matroska container |
| Track statistics tags | Add or delete track statistics tags. When adding, track statistics are recalculated per file |
Track Properties
The Video, Audio, and Subtitles pages let you configure properties per track:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Track name | A descriptive label for the track |
| Language | The language of the track (e.g., English, Japanese) |
| Default flag | Marks a track as the default for its type |
| Forced flag | Marks a track as forced (e.g., for forced subtitles) |
Track Availability Indicators
Not all files may have the same number of tracks. Each track in the selection dropdown shows a colored dot indicating its availability across your batch:
| Color | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Green | The track is available in every file |
| Orange | The track is only present in some files |
Hovering over a dot shows a tooltip with the exact count (e.g., “Track 1 is available in 4 of 6 files”).
Processing
When ready, press Process Files to apply your changes to all files in the batch.
After processing, the Results page shows a summary with counts for total files, succeeded, warnings, and failed.
