The first argument, +\fBmode\fR, tells +\fBmkvextract\fR(1) +what to extract\&. Currently supported is the extraction of +tracks, +tags, +attachments, +chapters, +CUE sheets, +timecodes +and +cues\&. The second argument is the name of the source file\&. It must be a +Matroska(TM) +file\&. All following arguments are options and extraction specifications; both of which depend on the selected mode\&. +.SS "Common options" +.PP +The following options are available in all modes and only described once in this section\&. +.PP +\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-parse\-fully\fR +.RS 4 +Sets the parse mode to \*(Aqfull\*(Aq\&. The default mode does not parse the whole file but uses the meta seek elements for locating the required elements of a source file\&. In 99% of all cases this is enough\&. But for files that do not contain meta seek elements or which are damaged the user might have to use this mode\&. A full scan of a file can take a couple of minutes while a fast scan only takes seconds\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB\-\-command\-line\-charset\fR \fIcharacter\-set\fR +.RS 4 +Sets the character set to convert strings given on the command line from\&. It defaults to the character set given by system\*(Aqs current locale\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB\-\-output\-charset\fR \fIcharacter\-set\fR +.RS 4 +Sets the character set to which strings are converted that are to be output\&. It defaults to the character set given by system\*(Aqs current locale\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-redirect\-output\fR \fIfile\-name\fR +.RS 4 +Writes all messages to the file +\fIfile\-name\fR +instead of to the console\&. While this can be done easily with output redirection there are cases in which this option is needed: when the terminal reinterprets the output before writing it to a file\&. The character set set with +\fB\-\-output\-charset\fR +is honored\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB\-\-ui\-language\fR \fIcode\fR +.RS 4 +Forces the translations for the language +\fIcode\fR +to be used (e\&.g\&. \*(Aqde_DE\*(Aq for the German translations)\&. It is preferable to use the environment variables +\fILANG\fR, +\fILC_MESSAGES\fR +and +\fILC_ALL\fR +though\&. Entering \*(Aqlist\*(Aq as the +\fIcode\fR +will cause +\fBmkvextract\fR(1) +to output a list of available translations\&. + +.\" [...] + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.PP +\fBmkvmerge\fR(1), +\fBmkvinfo\fR(1), +\fBmkvpropedit\fR(1), +\fBmmg\fR(1) +.SH "WWW" +.PP +The latest version can always be found at +\m[blue]\fBthe MKVToolNix homepage\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2\&. +.SH "AUTHOR" +.PP +\(co \fBMoritz Bunkus\fR <\&moritz@bunkus\&.org\&> +.RS 4 +Developer +.RE +.SH "NOTES" +.IP " 1." 4 +the MKVToolNix homepage +.RS 4 +\%https://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/ +.RE + + + + +MIME types defined: troff. +
