Hello. I’m relatively new to using MKVToolNix. One thing I can’t figure out is if I use Chapter Editor to remove a chapter (color bars and tone) from a video - how do I export the new version? There is no Export or Start Multiplexing option as there is in, for example, Multiplexer. Is there no way to create a new version of the file without the chapter?
Thanks!
Dmitry
Welcome!
You can either save the modified chapters back to an existing Matroska file, or to a new XML file. In the latter case you can then use that new XML file as chapter information in the multiplexer tool to create a new Matroska file.
Both cases are covered by the various “Save…” options in the “Chapter editor” menu that’s visible while using the chapter editor tool.
Thank you mbunkus!
It didn’t quite work. I tried Save - the bars/tone remain in the file (though the update date of the file changes.) I exported XML and then used it to Multiplex a new file - but the bars/tone remain in the new copy. Even though in the Chapters, they don’t show up. In the original file, the bars/tone are Chapter 00. The new file doesn’t show Chapter 00, but bars/tone are still there. I’m doing something wrong, i’m sure, but I can’t figure out what that is.
