Utilizing several command-line tools (CLT), MKVToolPack lets you create and manipulate multimedia files.  MKVToolPack users can rip media tracks out of Matroska container movies.  They can use these ripped raw stream tracks to create MP4 container movies.  Also, use MKVToolPack to edit MP4 container movies by copying, cutting, pasting and trimming frames or inserting audio tracks. Or create Matroska container movies with raw stream clips.

What you can do with MKVToolPack:

• To rip audio, video, subtitle tracks out of Matroska container movies under Unpack
• To pack audio, video, subtitle tracks into MP4 movies under Pack MP4
• To edit MP4 movies by cutting and trimming frames or inserting/deleting audio tracks under Pack MOV
• To pack audio, video, subtitle tracks into Matroska container movies under Pack MKV
• To rip audio, video, subtitle tracks out of up to 15 Matroska container movies at a time under Unpack All
