MKVBatch is basically a front-end for the excellent MKVMerge program. MKVBatch will scan the Video Path folder for acceptable video files, then run the command line version of MediaInfo to get the video's information. Using this information, MKVBatch will construct a batch file with the relevant info and your chosen functions and then run it on each of the recognised video files which have been found. Requires MKVToolnix to be installed.

No one has written a review since that last update (2022-Nov), so I am. Using MKVBatch 2.5.5 with
* MKVToolNix GUI version: 87.0
* mkvmerge version: 87.0
It worked as-is, not like previous reviews said. I did encounter one bug, though.
I replaced the audio in a bunch a MKV files, but the "Default" setting did not work. It did not matter if I set the "Forced" or not. Here is the options file that was created for each audio file:
Language=English (eng)
Default=yes
Forced=yes
The resulting MKV files have "Default" set as "No".
Information using MediaInfo:
Language : English
Service kind : Complete Main
Default : No
Forced : Yes
* MKVToolNix GUI version: 87.0
* mkvmerge version: 87.0

I'm agreeing with everyone that claims installing and trying to get this software to operate is a waste of time. I could get the software to operate only after "running as administrator" and placing both mkvmerge.exe and ffprobe.exe in the same folder as MKVBatch was in. The program would run but immediately (within a few seconds) go into "Not Responding" condition and then close itself.
Don't bother. Guess I'll continue to use MKVToolNix program on individual files (I've used mkvtoolnix-batch.bat program successfully but don't know the proper script to add an audio file that has been converted to another format).

Installing a bunch of side programs in order to be able to start this program and finding out that all these efforts result in errors once it finally starts...
Nah, not worth your time. it's crap...

Thanks to the previous comments for the setup instructions. I cannot stress it enough that without those setup comments this program would be dead in the water. With extremely specific versions of MKVmerge and ffprobe necessary and the specific files that need to be placed in the correct directories, the installation is horrendously difficult. I feel that having all these as functions of the program installer either as checkboxes or default functions would've have increased the likeability of MKVBatch tremendously.
With that said once I got the thing working its working like a charm. My main use is for muxing external sub-files into MKVs so all I have to do is name everything identically (which is very easy to do with bulk rename utility) it gets muxing and out comes the files now muxed properly. Even with an interface straight out of 2003 once you wrap your head around the slightly unintuitive controls its pretty simple to use. And once I'm done with the basic tweaks and settings changes it goes to work and I can go and do something else.
The main promise of this program I feel is the time savings you will get from not having to mux one file at a time and the time you don't have to spend learning how to use MKV Merges command-line interface, to that end I think it delivers which is why I would recommend it to anyone who has a similar need. Just bear through the installation following the 7 step instructions and you should be good to go.
