I have a matroska file with embedded fonts. I want to strip the file of the embedded font, but I'm having a lot of trouble. I can't see the embedded file in mkvmerge, so just remuxing the appropriate files into a new container won't work.

I tried using mkvextract to remove all the components of the file into their core components. However, when I mux the raw h264 file into an mp4 container, the timing changes! 85 more frames were added to the video! To see whether it was the mp4 muxer or the extraction program at fault, I used muxed the 264 file into an avi and it came out with the same amount of frame as the mp4 file. meaning, I'm thinking that this embedded file is somehow corrupting the video file that I'm trying to extract.

I seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place. I can't utilize the raw h264 stream. How can I "un-embed" the font from video, or am I doomed to live with an embedded font?

Load it into mkvmerge gui, click the file name, and check "no attachments" before remuxing. If you're only removing one of several attachments, you'll have to re-add the others first. The command line for it is just --no-attachments before the input filename.
