MKV metadata FAQs
What can I see in a MKV file?
You can see segment/track tags, chapter titles/comments, attachments (art/fonts), codec/resolution/HDR flags, and language codes without touching the streams.
Do you change or recompress my MKV file?
No. The viewer only reads metadata from your MKV file and shows it back—streams, pixels, and content stay untouched.
What if my MKV file has little or no metadata?
Some MKV files ship with minimal fields. We show everything present—if a tag is missing (like GPS or author), there simply isn't any data to display.
Can I verify attachments or previews in a MKV?
Yes. If the MKV contains embedded previews, cover art, fonts, or thumbnails, we surface those entries so you know what ships with the file.
Can I copy the MKV metadata for documentation?
You can copy the on-screen results to include in tickets, audits, or delivery notes without modifying the original MKV.
