history

Project history and usage

mkvalidator is part of the Matroska tool ecosystem: a small command-line validator for Matroska and WebM files. Matroska.org describes it as checking Matroska and WebM files for conformance against the EBML DocType version and reporting command-line errors and warnings for bogus or missing key elements.

How it is used

The SourceForge release notes show active validator evolution in 2010 around WebM strings, profile handling, cue and track checks, cluster timing, live-stream checks, track bitrate/details output, aspect-ratio warnings, attachment-link validation, and DivX extension handling. In practice, the tool occupies a QA niche beside muxing and inspection tools such as MKVToolNix: it does not create or edit media, but reports whether a Matroska/WebM file follows container expectations. Homebrew packages it as a standalone BSD-licensed conformance checker.
