Hello, I think your amazing program, 'MKV Cutter' is no longer developed
but I had a question. First, could you PLEASE continue development of it?
The reason I ask is because so far, it's the ONLY program I've found that can perfectly cut MKVs while retaining soft-embedded subtitles and it also retains the exact/proper names of multiple audio tracks.
The only things I was wondering if you could fix are;
1. When the subtitles are passed to the new file, the name is changed and it's replaced by 'Track 1'. Example, I was editing a file that had a subtitle track called 'Forced-English'. When I saved the file, the sub track was renamed to 'Track 1'. This is a MINOR issue. When working with an MKV that has multiple audio tracks that have names like (English AC3, English Atmos, Commentary)..... when I make my edits and save the file, those names are retained, which is perfect. But sub tracks get renamed to that generic 'Track 1')
2. Could you add the ability to play the file? Sometimes, I want to get the cut point at a certain spot but I'd like to hear what is being said. Example, in Avidemux, you can play the video and hear what is being said and zero in on what you'd like to cut. With MKV Cutter, I can only jump around and can't play the video to see it in motion and hear it. (Unless I'm doing something wrong and it DOES have this capability?)
Bonus question, do you have a link to the latest version of MKV Cutter? I only found the '2017' one on Videohelp and the '2019' one they link to throws up security warnings when I download it. (False positive?)
Sorry, one last question, I see all the EXE's that the 2017 version uses.... can I simply replace those with newer versions or will that break something?
So if by chance you read this, please don't abandon MKV Cutter. It's truly an amazing app! I'd be willing to pay money for a newer version, especially if you can make those changes.
Thank you
