Support Sunday: How To Join Two MKV Movie Files
I recently ripped a Star Wars movie to my PC. The software I used only gave me the option to split the files into max of 4.2GB. This left me with two files. Which is fine if I name them correctly however I don’t like this. So, I went on the hunt to fix this. Back to one of my favourite sites, Mashables, I found what I was looking for. They had a short article pointing to some software that worked a treat.
MKVMerge
Its quite simple software.It is available for Windows, Linux and MAC. The download link is for Windows, however the rest are available on their site. Links below.
Here is a simple step by step article.
1) Download Here [WINDOWS]
2) Click ADD and find your movie
3) Click APPEND and find part two of the movie and so forth
4) Choose a Filename and Folder with the browse button on the bottom
5) Click Start muxing excusing my ignorance as to what muxing means.
That’s it. Allow it to finish the process and to save space remember to delete the no no longer needed part files.
I found this software as simple as VDUB’s software for appending AVI files.
Download Windows Version
Link to site for other versions – MKVtoolnix
