I have been using MKV Merge for a while now and it's great for editing properties of one or maybe two files, but I now have around 150 that I've converted from DVD.
All of the video files have the subtitles enabled as dafault and I simply want to turn them off by default. I've been dragging and dropping them into MKV Merge one by one and changing the subtitles property to "No", then simply re-saving them - very time consuming. Is there such a way that I can do this by bulk?
I was reading on the site which says:
Batch processing of header editing is just as easy. For example, if you want to set the title field for a couple of files to the base file name then you can do the following with bash/zsh:
for file in *.mkv ; do
mkvpropedit "$file" --set title="${file%.mkv}"
done
Now this sounds like the right sort of idea that I would need to do, but what is bash or zsh?
This command would also be helpful to give all the files a nice title rather than it just using the file name for the title.
I'm using Windows so anything Linux-like is a bit out of the question.
