mkvmerge - delete audio track

[bunin]

in case you will need to delete audio track from the .mkv file:

first, you will need to identify tracks:
run:
$ mkvmerge -i file.mkv
File 'file.mkv': container: Matroska
Track ID 1: video (V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC)
Track ID 2: audio (A_AC3)
Track ID 3: audio (A_AC3)

Then extract audio track you need;

$mkvmerge -o d9.makv -d 1 --audio-tracks 3 file.mkv

'file.mkv': Using the Matroska demultiplexer.
'file.mkv' track 1: Using the MPEG-4 part 10 (AVC) video output module.

The file 'd9.mkv' has been opened for writing.
