To add subtitles to a single file I use the following command:
mkvmerge.exe -o g:\movie01.mkv --default-track 0 --language 0:pl movie01.mkv movie01.srt
Where:
movie01.mkv is the name of a video file
movie01.srt is the name of a subtitle file (it is always the same as the video file)
g:\movie01.mkv is the output file
How do I run the above-mentioned command for every file in a directory?
This command will loop through all mkv files and run the command for each of them (I suggest putting it in a .bat file). The command should be run in the directory that contains your mkv-files.
for %%A in (*.mkv) do if /i "%%~XA"==".mkv" (
c:\<path to mkvmerge>\mkvmerge.exe -o g:\"%%A" --default-track 0 --language 0:pl "%%A" "%%~nA.srt"
)
%%A is equal to the exact filename.
%%~nA is equal to the filename without filetype.
Provided all files have the .mkv extension, how about this:
for /r %%video in (*.mkv) do mkvmerge.exe -o %%video --default-track 0 --language 0:pl %%video.srt
%%videois the variable which identifies each files in the current folder with the specified extension. After do I run the command on each file, and I use the same variable to call the srt file.
