You can use final cut pro x or iMovie on Mac OS, or Camtasia Studio or Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve on Windows, or DaVinci Resolve or Blender or Kdenlive or ShotCut on Any Linux distro. But I prefer command line tools.
- Install mkvtoolsnix or use HomeBrew to install it :
brew install --with-qt5 mkvtoolnix
. - Use
mkvinfo
to get the audio track IDs that you want. command like thismkvinfo *.mkv
.
Note that the audio track IDs are not the track numbers. Check the man page of mkvmerge or mkvinfo for more details.
- Use
mkvmerge
to create a copy of the mkv with ONLY the desired tracks using--audio-tracks
. The whole command be like that :mkvmerge -o out.mkv -a 2 orig.mkv
.
