From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Someone with more experience on sed or awk should chime in, but out of memory something like this (which MOST LIKELY WONT WORK, verify it before running it on anything important):
find -name *mkv -exec sed -e's/file=.*/file=' > {}.changed \;That, at least in theory, reads every .mkv file recursively in a current working directory, finds lines that contain "file=" and replace that with "file=" and stores the output to .changed.
I would be very hesitant to run sed on a bunch of files consisting primarily of highly compressed binary data.
