Removing MKV file title information

[jacktheripper88]

Hi everybody,

Wondering if anyone knows of a utility I can use to remove the title information from an MKV file in bulk?

I have some episodes of a show that I'm trying to get caught up on, on my phone using VLC (Joys of having a toddler). The issue I'm have is that rather than VLC showing the file name (Episode 1: The beginning) it lists them by the title the encoding program gave it (Encoded by mini-encoder). This makes it rather hard to keep track of which ones I've watched.

Current the only utility I have come across that can edit this information is MKVToolNIX. It does work for what I want to do, but it is a rather slow process. I have to open the file, remove the title, and mux the file. This is done one file at a time and creates a new copy of the file.

I'm hoping there is a faster way to do this without making new copies of the videos, like the way MP3Tag works.

Thanks in advance

The header editor in MKVToolNIX can likely do this and that won't have to remux the file.

Ah I see where your talking about, I'd been in there before but couldn\t get the clear information to stay. Just found it under the header editor menu at the top and save.
Thank you
