# mkv-bash-tools
[](https://codeclimate.com/github/HessiJames/mkv-bash-tools)
## Warning: These scripts are outdated and won't work with current versions of mkvmerge
I'm keeping them here because I might update them at some point - but no promises.
## mkv-transcode-flac
A BASH script that transcodes all FLAC tracks of a matroska file to Ogg Vorbis while preserving the track's name and language and it's default and forced flags as well as its delay.
### Depends on
mktemp
mkvmerge
mkvextract
oggenc (with FLAC decoder enabled)
### Usage
`chmod +x mkv-transcode-flac`
`./mkv-transcode-flac "My File.mkv"`
This will create a new file called "My File [Ogg Vorbis].mkv".
For batch converting all .mkv files in the current directoy copy mkv-transcode-flac to a directory in your PATH and execute:
`find -iname "*.mkv" -exec mkv-transcode-flac '{}' \;`
## mkv-transcode-dts
A BASH script that transcodes all DTS-HD Master Audio tracks of a matroska file to DTS Core while preserving the track's name and language and it's default and forced flags as well as its delay.
### Depends on
mktemp
mkvmerge
mkvextract
ffmpeg (version 3.1 or higher)
### Usage
`chmod +x mkv-transcode-dts`
`./mkv-transcode-dts "My File.mkv"`
This will create a new file called "My File [DTS Core].mkv".
For batch converting all .mkv files in the current directoy copy mkv-transcode-dts to a directory in your PATH and execute:
`find -iname "*.mkv" -exec mkv-transcode-dts '{}' \;`
## mkv-remove-language
A BASH script that removes the audio track with the specified language from a matroska file.
### Depends on
mkvmerge
### Usage
`chmod +x mkv-remove-language`
`./mkv-remove-language "My File.mkv" "eng"`
This will create a new file called "My File [without eng].mkv".
For batch processing all .mkv files in the current directoy copy mkv-remove-language to a directory in your PATH and execute:
`find -iname "*.mkv" -exec mkv-remove-language '{}' "lang" \;`
## mkv-extract-subtitles
A BASH script that extracts subtitles from a matroska file.
### Depends on
mkvmerge
mkvextract
### Usage
`chmod +x mkv-extract-subtitles`
`./mkv-extract-subtitles "My File.mkv"`
This will create a new file for each subtitle in the current directory.
For batch processing all .mkv files in the current directoy copy mkv-extract-subtitles to a directory in your PATH and execute:
`find -iname "*.mkv" -exec mkv-extract-subtitles '{}'\;`
