Pack several subtitles into a MKV file

[Mithrandir.theIstari]

Hello guys.

I have a n00b question since I just starting to use MKV:

How can I add multiple subtitle files to a MKV file? I use Gordian Knot and the subtitle entry only allows one single file.

I know matroska allows to pack the subtitles inside the same MKV file, but I don't know how :confused:

BTW, Gordian Knot is an appropiate tool to make my new matroskas or I'm digging in a wrong place?\

Thanks

GK is the right tool for encoding not for muxing

do your encoding with gk, subrip what you need THEN use mmg.exe , from matroska tools, to mux you audio, video, subs...

try mkvmerge you can mux subtitles into videos with it just make sure they are named correctly

Thanks.

I've tryed mmg and worked great (that calls mkvmerge if I remember). Just a one more question:

Does make any sense to indicate a language for the video stream? I can't find any reason to set it for a video stream (GK set it to english)

It might make sense for: Hardcoded subtitles, or the language of signs and landmarks shown. But in general I don't think there's any reason to bother with it. Hmm, maybe for matching up audio with video streams if they're encoded differently, but that would have to be either twice as large or an enormous mess of inserting and removing scenes.

Great!

Thank you
