Delete title from a Matroska file
SYNOPSIS
mkvpropedit [options] source-filename [-e selector] [-s name=value] [-d name]
DESCRIPTION
mkvpropedit modifies properties of existing Matroska files without requiring a complete remux. It can edit segment information (titles, UIDs), track headers (language codes, names, flags), chapters, tags, and attachments.
Track selectors use the format track:TYPE_NUMBER where TYPE is v (video), a (audio), s (subtitle), or b (button), and NUMBER starts at 1. Using track:n selects the nth track regardless of type.

CAVEATS
Changes modify the original file in place. Property names must match exactly; use -l to list valid names. Some properties cannot be added to tracks that do not already contain them. Language changes affect both IETF and legacy language elements by default.
