I have some MKV video files and I want to extract (not convert) the internal files (video, audio and subtitles).

I thought MKVToolNix GUI was the appropiate app to do that, but... I cannot to find any button to perform the action!

Of course, MKVToolNix GUI shows me the individual files, but... The only option I get is to save it as MKV file, again!

So...

I thought WinFF could help me, but... I cannot to choice from the internal files in the MKV container, so... I just get the main video and audio files, together, and not subtitles.

So...

I thought some compressed files extractor could help, but... Not at all!

So...

Is there some another way, or app, to get this?

I insist I don't want to convert anything, not. I just want to get the separated files (video, audio and subtitles) to use it in this separated way.

  • Those are three different questions :P And all three are likely to have been asked before. – Rinzwind Jan 18 '20 at 22:03

  • Thanks a lot for all your ideas! But... I think I didn't use the right words to my question: MKV file is an original HDD FOLDER (with video, audio and subtitles independent internal files) converted into just one file (MKV CONTAINER). My question is: How can I reconvert the MKV file into the original FOLDER (with the all internal independent files as video, audio and subtitles original files)? Any idea? – Juan Jan 20 '20 at 18:43

this will extract out the audio from a mkv file

ffmpeg -i /tmp/dolbycanyon.m4v -vn -acodec copy /tmp/dolbycanyon.aac

prior to running above you could show details of the input video file

ffprobe  /tmp/dolbycanyon.m4v 

# ... output
