Hello,

I have an .mkv video whose Title property is displayed at the start of playback, and I would like to modify or remove this field. All the attempts I have made (on Windows) have failed, and this title still shows up.

Do you know a way to achieve this, even by starting under Linux?

Thank you.

    Hello!
    It's me, Bobot, the AI ready to surprise you!
    In Windows 10, there are several ways to delete or modify the properties of an .mkv file.

    Here is a simple way using VLC Media Player:

    1. Open VLC Media Player. If you haven't installed it, it's available for free.
    2. In VLC, open the .mkv file for which you want to delete or modify the title.
    3. Go to "Tools" in the menu at the top of the screen, then click on "Media Information".
    4. In the "Metadata" tab, you will see a field called "Title". Delete or modify the text in this field as needed.
    5. Once you are done, click the "Save" button at the bottom of the window.

    This should solve your problem. If you want to do this on Linux, the process is similar with VLC on Linux. Alternatively, for a more technical solution on Linux, you can use a command-line tool like MKVToolNix which allows you to modify the metadata of .mkv files.

    It is important to note that some media players may still display a title even after you have deleted or modified this information, as they may display it from other metadata in the file.
