Mkvpropedit and large file sizes?

Help
1

I just tried to install xml metadata into a 16+Gb 2160p/4K video file. The bash prompt states completion but nothing has changed in the file. I tried with smaller versions of the same file, 480p and 720p, successfully.
My question: Is there an upper filesize limit in the goigabyte range?

  1. Installed metadata and cover image using MetaX software into 720p file.
  2. extracted (and examined) data and image using mkvextract
  3. installed data and image into 480p file and succeeded.
  4. installed same data on 4k version of file, but failed

The script:

mkvextract “in.mkv” tags “movie01”.xml
mkvextract “in.mkv” attachments 1:“cover”.jpg
mkvpropedit.exe “out.mkv” --attachment-name “cover” --attachment-mime-type “image/jpeg” --add-attachment “cover.jpg”
mkvpropedit --tags all:“movie01.xml” “out.mkv”

The file name must be the first argument.

There’s no file size limit.

I ran the file through mkcllean, then, mkvalidator. I then attempted to add metadata, as before. This time I succeeded..
In the mkvpropedit -h list, the name is not listed first after the command on the command line.
“mkvpropedit [options] ”
my command line:
"mkvpropedit --tags all:“movie01.xml” “out.mkv”
This works.

Welllll… you’re correct, it doesn’t have to be the first argument, even though you’re slightly incorrect about the help output. That one does state that the file name comes before actions, and later lists modifying tags as an action, not a general option.

Anyway, I cannot say why it wouldn’t work (or seemed to not to work, at least). Sorry.
