Remove metadata from MKV (.mkv)

Step-by-step: what metadata MKV contains, how ExifSweep removes it, and what gets preserved.

What MKV typically leaks

  • Title, description, encoder
  • Per-stream language tags
  • Chapter titles (often auto-generated)

Why this matters

Common for higher-bitrate / Blu-ray rips and webm-source video.

How ExifSweep cleans it

FFmpeg.wasm `-c copy -map_metadata -1 -map_chapters -1` — also drops chapter metadata.

What we preserve

All video and audio streams; subtitle tracks are kept but their metadata is stripped.
