I can merge with MKVMerge but can I also extract with it? Apparently not without using the Windows version. I can extract with MKVTools but can I also merge with it? That's what I'm not sure about. I need something to extract the files and I also need something to merge the files after I finish converting them. What I am trying to do is eliminate one of the tools in the process and not require Windows.

Much easier simply to have mkvmerge quickly create a new MKV file that has the subs compressed, so the entire movie is still in a single file.I know you can do it with MKVMerge because I have already done it. It is true that you can extract the tracks, such as the subs track, and stored them separately, but now you have to keep multiple files to have the complete movie. Solution: use mkvmerge to remux but tell it to reorder the audio tracks. E.g., I ripped a Japanese movie and ended up with the English audio track first/default, but this is just commentary, so I don’t want it to be the first audio track and so played by default. mkvmerge can do all sorts of things when remuxing. By default, if you do this, it will zlib compress PGS subs. The mkvmerge program can “remux” MKV files–that is, extract the tracks from a source MKV and then merge/multiplex them back into a new MKV container. The PGS subs are a separate track(s) within your MKV containers. Each of these can be in various formats, and in fact you might have multiple audio tracks with different formats in one MKV container. What it contains are multiple tracks for the video, audio, and subtitles for the movie. Iamlitz: not sure you understand that the MKV file is a type of A/V container.

Problem solved!!! the subs play both on my pc and my tv through wd

the subs play ok on my pc but dont play on my wd. I have a bd disc (avatar 2009 2d) and i used dvdfab to rip the disc and create a compressed mkv file with greek subs. I used 2 methods for the subs : I also tried something else…with interesting results!!

After the above my question is why does the wd has a problem to play hardcoded bdpg subs when in the other hand can play ssa or subt? also what else can i do for these specific movies with hardcoded bdpg to play on my wd?.

But i found out that there was a diference in the codec description : SubStation Alpha subtitles (ssa) or Text subtitles with various tags (subt)

I have seen other movies with hardcoded subs on wd with no problems.

Looking at the codec information of the movie with the problem the description for the subs whas : BD subs (bdpg).

what can i do to play the movie as it is with the subs on my wd?.

the problem is that the subs where already in the movie and i dont have them seperately.if i understand your post the mkvmerge tool is used to insert subs to a movie.the subs appear in the subtitle menu of wd media player but they dont play.the subs play perfectly with vlc on my pc.the problem is why they do not appear when i play the movie through wd the movie file was downloaded through the web (torrent) and has hardcoded subs.I’ll try to help the conversation with more info about the problem and some of my questions : Because i am not so familiar with all these formats, tools etc… i need more instructions to have a simple solution.
