Hello,
I would like to know why the tag “DURATION” in Matroska files (.mkv) is
a necessity? Even mkvmerge lets the choice to use it or not with
“--enable-durations”, in addition it is written “Write durations for all
blocks. This will increase file size and does not offer any additional
value for players at the moment.” (source
https://mkvtoolnix.download/doc/mkvmerge.html#d4e535).

As far as I'm aware, the linked commit does not do the same thing as
the mkvmerge option you pointed out.
Yes that is why I wrote “possibly”, also because this commit is the one
which adds the tag “DURATION” as a necessity, but a necessity that no
software seems to use and it is not even a standard in the Matroska’s
documentation if I am not mistaken. So the fact that it is a necessity
and not a choice is the main problem.
Who says it's a necessity or standard? It's just what mkvmerge does.
Since the patch is by google, I assume google has some use for it
(there might also be a discussion about it on the ML).
Sorry for the bad word “necessity”, it is better with “imposed”. Could
you let the choice to the user like mkvmerge with
“--disable-track-statistics-tags”?
We could add a private option to the ffmpeg matroska muxer to disable
writing this tag, and we could even switch that option off by default
(so the tag isn't written unless the user explicitly requests it). Feel
free to propose a patch.
I do not have the capacity for the moment to write patches for such a
software but what you have written is exactly what I would like.
I can create a bug report if needed.
