Debian packages
I provide i386 and Amd64 binaries for MKVToolNix for Debian 10 'buster' (the current stable).
I do not provide binaries for libEBML and libMatroska anymore as they're already part of the official distribution. If those are too old MKVToolNix even bundles the current version of both libraries.
MKVToolNix is a collection of tools for the Matroska media container format by Moritz Bunkus including mkvmerge. The free and open source Matroska libraries and tools are available for various platforms including Linux and BSD distributions, macOS and Microsoft Windows. Mkvtoolnix-gui (1) is a Qt (tm) based GUI for mkvmerge (1). It also implements mkvinfo (1)'s and mkvpropedit (1)'s functionality and will evolve to cover mkvextract (1) as well. All settings (e.g. Source files, track options etc) can be saved and restored. I'm using MKVToolNix through a docker container. Should be the recent version. I let mkvmerge read hundreds of MKVs, but now I'm having two MKVs that are both generated through MakeMKV with two different Blu-Ray drives that could not be opened through mkvmerge. I provide amd64 binaries for MKVToolNix for all releases and i386 binaries for 18.04. I do not provide binaries for libEBML and libMatroska anymore as they're already part of the official distribution. If those are too old MKVToolNix even bundles the current version of both libraries.
You first have to import my public GPG key because all of my pools are signed. Run this once: sudo wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg https://mkvtoolnix.download/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg
You can access the packages by adding the lines below to a file such as /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mkvtoolnix.download.list
:
Version | APT source |
---|---|
Debian 10 (aka 'buster') | deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg] https://mkvtoolnix.download/debian/ buster main deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg] https://mkvtoolnix.download/debian/ buster main |
Now simply run sudo apt update
followed by sudo apt install mkvtoolnix mkvtoolnix-gui
.
If updating the package lists fails, make sure you have the package apt-transport-https
installed.
