Thanks a lot for taking the time to explain this. Yes, it would be more accurate for me to say this is a track tag (for AAC audio in this case, M4A container), that is being identified as a global tag (immediately upon adding track to MKVToolNix GUI).

More notes and testing: Maybe this is because MP4 container may contain video or audio, more complex to handle tags? Possible to separate behavior between MP4 and M4A (force M4A audio tags to track not global)? Opus audio tags are done ideally: General tags (according to MediaInfo, like 'writing application' and 'encoder options') are added as track tags not global. FLAC is fine (zero global tags).

Does MKVMerge support HEVC version 3 profiles?

Given that Ligh just opened an issue for it over on my Gitlab, I'd say: no.

Heyo!

here's a small, new MKVToolNix release, v87. Not a lot going on, to be honest. See below for details!

Version 87.0 "Black as the Sky" 2024-09-07
New features and enhancements

• mkvmerge: chapters: added support for specifying MPLS files with "--chapters", too, not just as regular source files. The documentation stated this was possible already, but that wasn't actually the case. Implements/fixes #3735.
• MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: added a progress dialog that is shown during file identification.
• MKVToolNix GUI: jobs: the status bar now differentiates between numbers of warnings/errors that occurred in the current session and those that occurred before the current session. Implements #3732.

Bug fixes

• mkvmerge: AAC parser: LOAS/LATM streams: if the first "AudioSpecificConfig" element is not found within the first LOAS/LATM frame, "mkvmerge" will no longer discard the frames before it but defer parsing them until after it has found the "AudioSpecificConfig" element. Fixes #3727.
• MKVToolNix GUI: job queue: fixed the GUI crashing when re-ordering the jobs in the job queue. This regression was introduced while fixing #3720. Fixes #3729.

Have fun!
