mkclean
mkclean is a command line tool to clean and optimize Matroska (.mkv
/ .mka
/ .mks
/ .mk3d
) and WebM (.webm
/ .weba
) files that
have already been muxed. It reorders the elements with the Cues at the
front, so your Matroska files are ready to be streamed efficiently
over the web. It also removes elements not found in the Matroska specs
and the extra Meta Seek list of Clusters that some program add to
their file. It can also optionally remux the Cluster blocks to start
each boundary with a keyframe and the matching audio/subtitle blocks
for that keyframe.
