Too bad it's Windows only, I'd have liked that.

Supposedly, you may be able to run it using emulation on linux... Can anyone confirm/deny this? Also, does anyone know if I can compile a .Net app to work on linux?

I agree, but I've not yet been able to figure out how to do this... this is on my todo list though.

Depending on what your using within the code in terms of external assemblies, Mono should work for you

cool. Thanks clackerdacker. I'll have to give that a shot sometime.

New version posted by the way. Livin: Give this one a try. It'll let you know what it finds now.

anyone know how to get mkvmerge (the command line version) to display the language/name of a track? I looked through the documentation, but didn't see exactly what I was looking for.

In my batch files, i use mediainfo (command-line version)

MediaInfo also has a DLL version with wrappers for C#, C++ and even AutoIt...

Maybe you want to try with that instead...

If the program could do the work automatically that would be great.

So I select a few movies with extra audio, and select to delete all german dubbed streams (for example) and hit Go.

Working on it....

I'll try my hand at queuing jobs in mkvmerge in the next major release.
