MKVMerge produces smaller file

[Bung]

Hi guys,

I had made an MKV in Handbrake with 2 audio tracks, (chapters,) and no subtitle track, the file is 4.3GB

I just recently used mkvmerge-gui to add in an srt subtitle, and something strange happened; the new file was 4.2GB.

I've checked and the chapters, audio, and video all appear fine. The ending was not cut off or anything. Any thoughts? Maybe mkvmerge has more efficient file structure creation then handbrake? I really don't know how this stuff works :)

I had the same issue where a 2.6gb went to 2.5gb - but then I used 'mediainfo' to look at the file specs and it said its 2.6gb. So dunno what the issue is, but for some reason windows thinks its lost about 100mb - when it clearly hasn't
