Product Description:

MKVToolnix is a set of tools to create, alter and inspect Matroska files under Linux, other Unices and Windows. They do for Matroska what the OGMtools do for the OGM format and then some.

What's new in this version:

mmg: new feature: Added a header editor for Matroska files.
mkvextract: bug fix: The "simple" chapter extraction mode (OGM style chapter output) outputs strings converted to the system's current charset by default now instead of always converting to UTF-8. This can be overridden with the "--output-charset" command line option. Fix for bug 359.
mkvmerge: bug fix: QuickTime audio tracks will be stored with the CodecID "A_QUICKTIME". The CodecPrivate element contains the full "STSD" element from the QuickTime file (just like V_QUICKTIME). This method is used for all audio tracks which don't have a well-defined storage spec for Matroska (e.g. AAC, AC3, MP2/3 are still stored as A_AC3, A_AAC etc). Hopefully a fix for bugs 354 and 357.
mkvmerge: bug fix: The CodecPrivate element for QuickTime video tracks like Sorenson Video Codecs contained wrong data. Fix for bug 355.
all: Added a Japanese translation by Hiroki Taniura (see AUTHORS).
mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed detection of little endian PCM tracks in MOV files. Fix for bug 356.
mkvextract: bug fix: The charset for text output was not initialized correctly resulting in garbled display of non-ASCII characters in non-UTF-8 locales.
all: bug fix: A couple of translated strings were converted from the wrong locale when they were displayed.
mmg, mkvinfo: The GUIs now require an Unicode-enabled version of wxWidgets.
all: bug fix: The tools use the API call "GetOEMCP()" on Windows instead of "GetACP()". This should make messages output in cmd.exe come out correctly for Windows versions for which cmd.exe uses a different code page than the rest (e.g. on German Windows).
mkvinfo: enhancement: If mkvinfo is started in GUI mode on Windows then the console that was started with it will be closed.
mkvinfo: bug fix: Chapter names and tag elements were recoded to the wrong charset resulting in garbled output. Fix for bug 353.

I make my own port:
Used MacPorts 1.7.1 and create app:
http://rapidshare.com/files/233731733/MkvToolNix_2.8.0.dmg
Tested on Mac mini (Intel, 1,66 Ghz), clean (just installed) Mac OS X 10.5.6
Folder "opt" not needed any more, app is fully transportable

I got it working by:

a) installing latest version of VLC (0.9.9a) into Applications
b) become root ...
1) mkdir /opt; mkdir /opt/local; mkdir opt/local/lib
2) cd /opt/local/lib
3) cp /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/*.dylib .

This adds all the 'missing' libraries for MKVToolNix (libwx_macu-2.9.0.dylib) to find ...

I'm GUESSING here ... but I think the author ASSuMEs that we all have Mac Ports installed!
