This isn't a bug necessarily, but more curiosity on my part. Up until this point I have been using mkvtoolnix 2.3.0 (mkvextract, mkvinfo, and mkvmerge). These are from 2008 and are quite obsolete. I don't remember where I got the old versions from that were compiled for Mac but I decided to download mkvtoolnix 4.9.1 from the tool's website. Using 2.3.0, when the script began to remux the AC3 track into the mkv there would be output stating what parts of the file were being muxed and what tool was being used. Now using 4.9.1, when remuxing there is no output from the script and it looks like this:

Muxing AC3 Track in:
MOVING new file over old file. DO NOT KILL THIS PROCESS OR YOU WILL EXPERIENCE DATA LOSS!

Using 2.3.0, there was information displayed between the two lines. Does this change have something to do with the script or just due to changes made to mkvtoolnix from 2.3.0 to 4.9.1? Sorry if my question is confusing, didn't know how else to put it.
