How to Install MKVToolNix 10.0.0 on Ubuntu 16.04, 16.10

   MKVtoolnix is a set of tools to create, alter, split, join and inspect Matroska files(mkv). With these tools one can get information about (mkvinfo) Matroska files, extract tracks/data from (mkvextract) Matroska files and create (mkvmerge) Matroska files from other media files. Matroska is a multimedia file format aiming to become THE new container format for the future. Use MKVCleaver or gMKVExtractGUI to extract/demultiplex mkv video and audio files.

MKVToolNix 10.0.0 changelog:

•     mkvmerge: AVC/h.264 parser: mkvmerge will now drop all frames before the first key frame as they cannot be decoded properly anyway.
•     mkvmerge: HEVC/h.265 parser: mkvmerge will now drop all frames before the first key frame as they cannot be decoded properly anyway.
•     mkvmerge: HEVC/h.265 parser: added a workaround for invalid values for the “default display window” in the VUI parameters of sequence parameter sets.
•     mkvmerge: MP4 reader: fixed track offsets being wrong in certain situations regarding the presence or absence of edit lists (‘elst’ atoms) & composition timestamps (‘ctts’ atoms).
•     mkvmerge: MP4 reader: offsets in “ctts” are now always treated as signed integers, even with version 0 atoms.
•     mkvinfo: the timestamps of SimpleBlocks with negative timestamps are now shown correctly.
•     mkvmerge: Matroska reader: fixed handling BlockGroups and SimpleBlocks with negative timestamps.
•     mkvmerge: MP3 packetizer: the MP3 packetizer will no longer drop timestamps from source containers if they go backwards. This keeps A/V in sync for files where the source was in sync even though their timestamps aren’t monotonic increasing.
•     mkvmerge: AVC/h.264 parser: mkvmerge will now drop timestamps from the source container if no frame is emitted for that timestamp.
•     mkvmerge: HEVC/h.265 parser: mkvmerge will now drop timestamps from the source container if no frame is emitted for that timestamp. Fixes the HEVC equivalent of the problem with AVC described in #1908.
•     mkvextract: SSA/ASS: fixed extraction when the “Format” line in the “[Events]” section contains less fields than the default for SSA/ASS would indicate.
