Download
If you have found yourself here looking for MKVtools to cconvert videos to either MP4 or AVI videos, then you should download either M4tools or AVItools, not MKVtools. If you are a user of the original version of MKVtools and are looking for updates, see here.
Trialware
MKVtools is technically trialware, though in reality, the unregistered version has nearly complete functionality with two minor exceptions:
- A “nag” window will appear every time you load a new file.
- You may only open 1 file at a time, so you can't take advantage of the queue and batch capabilities of MKVtools.
The above limitations will disappear if you register the software, which will cost you a total of $4.99, the price of a Big Mac dinner around here. Hopefully you will consider the usefulness of this software to be worth the price of a meal at McDonald's :-).
Note, that the output of the registered and unregistered versions of MKVtools will be identical, so you can thoroughly test MKVtools before you decide to support it’s development. Bugs still exist which may or may not get fixed and there are known issues and probably some unknown issues :-). You should probably consider this software as being sold "as is", so test thoroughly to see if you think you’re getting your moneys worth before registering.
If you decide to register, download the software using the link below, and then follow these registration instructions.
Current Version
Version 3.0 of MKVtools is the initial version of the application. It was created as an offshoot of version 2.4.x of MKVtools, with the goal of allowing the application to have a better focus on the processing of MKV video files.
Download MKVtools 3.0
MKVtools is Intel-only and requires Mac OS X 10.6.x or later. It has been tested on a MacBook Pro and a Mac Pro with no known issues.
Note, download manager users have had problems downloading from this web site so you may want to turn yours off. Here is a hotfile.com link if you have problems downloading via the above link. Just press the "Free" button and follow the instructions.
Earlier Versions
If you are having difficulties running the current version of MKVtools, you can try one of the older versions of MKVtools.
Beta Software
If MKVtools doesn't quite do what you want it to, you can see if there is a beta version of the software found here. Please help bring the beta software into general release by sending feedback to: emmgunnbeta@gmail.com
