MKV Tool GUI — Extract & Pack

A simple, intuitive graphical user interface for extracting streams from and packing streams into Matroska (MKV) files. This tool is designed to be a lightweight and user-friendly alternative to more complex applications, focusing on the most common extraction and packing tasks.

Key Features

This tool offers a streamlined and intuitive experience for common MKV tasks:

Focused Interface: The UI is split into two simple tabs: "Extract" and "Pack", with no complex menus or obscure options to navigate.
Simplified Workflow:
- Extraction: Open an MKV file, and all its streams are listed with sensible default output filenames. Uncheck the ones you don't want and click "Extract".
- Packing: Add your video, audio, subtitle, and font files, and click "Pack". The tool handles the rest.
Drag-and-Drop: Easily add files by dragging them onto the application window. The tool automatically detects the file type and adds it to the correct list.
Smart Defaults: The tool suggests logical filenames for extracted streams, saving you time and effort.
