i have an mkv movie file , and a separate srt, i usually would use virtualdub but in this instance virtualdb does not recognize mkv's . anyone have an easy alternate way i can do this? or do i have to convert mkv to avi? and if so whts the best way to do it?
you can convert a Matroska (MKV) container --to -> avi http://www.riverpast.com/en/support/tutorials/convert/mkv/avi.php Dont forget to download the Matroska Pack -- you need it ! Good Luck
The ideal tool to combine a SRT file into an existing MKV file is mkvtoolnix ( mkvmerge ). Latest version is 1.4.0 and was released yesterday : http://mkvmerge.matroska.org Just fire up mmg.exe, load the MKV, load the SRT, specify a language for it and mux them into a new MKV. Alternatively, you could try VirtualdubMod or avi-mux GUI instead of mkvmerge/mmg, but be aware VirtualdubMod is based on the old Video for Windows API and cant handle most modern video codecs, like h.264 and Realvideo ( RV9/RV10 ), so mkvmerge is clearly the recommended tool for MKV handling.
