file title is an option present on mkvtoolnix (92.0 eyeglow on debian 12.11)

I could single open every file, remove the file title and save, but that’s gonna take ages. almost 100 files.

    Seems like it has a CLI. You can figure out how to do this action with a CLI command, then do something like find -name *mkv -exec ... to execute that command for all the files.

    Emacs Dired would be my goto here, though it’s cumbersome if you dont know the bindings.

    kill-rectangle and multiple-cursors within Dired are immensely useful

    Edit: Oh, I just understood you want to mass modify the files themselves. In which case wgrep is useful here within Emacs, for modifying multiple buffers.

    It essentially runs a grep command on a directory, collates all the results in a single buffer, lets you modify that buffer for all files, and then save in one go
