fb2k cannot tag Matroska :-( Edit: Huh, it does change some tags although it returns a "Could not update tags (Unsupported format or corrupted file) on:" error. ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -acodec copy -vn -sn output.mka works fine here, and the files can be tagged using foobar2000. But it copies some of the metadata to the wrong fields. TRACKNUMBER became DISCNUMBER, ARTIST became ALBUM ARTIST, TITLE got not copied and some other stuff. I guess the mapping in ffmpeg is broken. EDIT: Now I get the error as well, time to investigate... EDIT 2: Aha, I can tag some of the fields, for example ARTIST, but when I try to tag TITLE it shows the error message. So, some of the fields do work, while others produce the error message. After tagging those erroneous files the error message will always be displayed. Also, the metadata fields seem to contain all the information put into them. Very weird. EDIT 3: ... ffmpeg writes clean compliant Matroska files, ja? MKVToolNix produces files which are tagable. So I guess ffmpeg creates broken MKVs. Remuxing the ffmpeg created MKVs with MKVToolNix creates tagable files as well. So I guess mkvmerge -o output.mka input.mp3 should be preferred over using ffmpeg for muxing, even though it doesn't copy tags. At least it doesn't copy the tags wrong. EDIT 4: So a solution to the OPs question would be to remux the videos files into MKV using MKVToolNix/MKVmerge: mkvmerge -o output.mka input.mpg
