mkvinfo − Print information about tracks in Matroska files |
|
mkvinfo [options] inname |
|
This program lists all tracks contained in a Matroska file including information about the codecs used. |
|
inname |
Use ’inname’ as the source. |
|
−g, −−gui |
|
Start the GUI. This option is only available if mkvinfo was compiled with GUI support. |
|
−v, −−verbose |
|
Be verbose and show all Matroska elements. See the section ´VERBOSITY LEVELS’ for details. |
|
−c, −−checksums |
|
Calculates and display the Adler32 checksum for each frame. Useful for debugging only. |
|
−s, −−summary |
|
Only show a terse summary of what mkvinfo finds and not each element. |
|
−−output−charset <charset> |
|
Sets the charset to which strings are converted that are to be output. It defaults to the charset given by system’s current locale. |
|
-r, −−redirect−output <filename> |
|
Writes all messages to the file filename instead of to the console. While this can be done easily with output redirection there are cases in which this option is needed: when the terminal reinterprets the output before writing it to a file. The charset set with −−output-charset is honored. |
|
−h, −−help |
|
Show usage information. |
|
−V, −−version |
|
Show version information. |
|
The -v option can be used to increase mkvinfo’s verbosity level and print more information about the current file. |
|
level 0 |
|
will print only the track headers it finds and their types. mkvinfo will exit as soon as the headers are parsed completely (more technical: as soon as the first cluster is encountered). In this level the seek head entries and the cues will not be displayed - even if they’re located in front of the track information. |
|
level 1 |
|
will also print all Matroska elements encountered for the complete file but the seek head entries and the cue entries. |
|
level 2 |
|
will also print the seek head entries, the cue entries and the file position at which each Matroska element can be found at. |
|
level 3 |
|
will print some information that is not directly connected to a Matroska element. All other elements only print stuff about the elements that were just found. Level 3 adds meta information to ease debugging (read: it’s intended for developers only). All lines written by level 3 are enclosed in square brackets to make filtering them out easy. |
