edit video metadata

To edit video metadata without re-encoding a video, you can:

  • if the video is an mp4 use VLC (tools/media info), with many options (besides title and date, you can set genre, artist, album, comment and so on).
  • if the video is an mkv use MkvToolNix Header editor (only for title and date)

Unfortunalely, MkvToolNix is not able to change other than title and date.

But a workaround can be

  1. convert a video from mkv to mp4 (copying audio and video: very fast)
  2. edit the new mp4 metadata file with vlc
  3. re-convert (if you want) the mp4 file to a mkv file (copying audio and video), keeping your added metadata.

I found that a good tool to make the conversion (from e to mkv, editing the preset and selecting copy audio and copy video, in audio and video tabs) can be MistiQ Video Converter.

VLC and chapters

VLC is a good player, but it can happen that if you create only one mkv chapter, it doesn’t recognize it (unlike other player such as, in Linux, SMPlayer).

To fix this you have to add at least two chapters,

salvare un file di sound cloud

Clementine, ad esempio, non ha problemi, con Kubuntu, a cercare e suonare files musicali di SoundCloud, però poi non riesce a salvare tale file sul PC, bisogna sempre andare on-line per sentirlo.
Allora si può selezionare tale musica, e incollare le info su tale stream in VLC. E da VLC potere salvare lo stream sul disco fisso.
