If you encode in very huge resolutions like 3200x1800 (gives best quality result at youtube) mkvmerge 32bit sometimes cant mux such a video.

The 64bit version can do it though. I today had again such a video where 32bit mkvmerge failed with memory problem and the 64bit version got it muxed.

    You can do this yourself.

    1. Download the 64bit portable version of MKVtoolnix from here (http://www.fosshub.com/MKVToolNix.html).

    2. Backup and delete all the files in ..\MEGUI\tools\mkvmerge folder.

    3. Extract the 64bit MKVtoolnix archive and copy all the files in to your ..\MEGUI\tools\mkvmerge folder.

    I have done about 10 OCE encodes with the 64bit MKVtoolnix and it works fine.

    Sure I can do it myself everytime MeGUI updates mkvmerge. But honestly: This isnt comfortable at all and it doesnt make much sense to use the muxer in 32bit version. I dont see any disadvantage of the 64bit version.

    Also: MeGUI's own GUI should at least offer to append files. For that simple task I already have to use MKVToolnixGUI directly.
