remove subtitles from mkv mkvtoolnix gui

I also use handbrake for the post-rip processing, rather than mkvtoolnix - I will give up some video quality for a 70% or more reduction in stored video size.

It makes it difficult to trust any 'automatic' selections.īut not many people have the same mix of sources I do - 95% of what I rip is anime, with the occasional non-Japanese movie. You will find audio tracks that are not named properly - Japanese audio in an 'English' track, or English in a 'Chinese' track.įor me, I have found the 'all subtitles' track marked as Default on dubbed titles.

Quite often, you will encounter titles where the main audio is only stereo, but there is a 5.1 commentary or descriptive audio track, which are useless when you want to watch the movie for the movie. I then use VLC to watch part of the show, switching between tracks, to figure out what I want to keep. I rip EVERYTHING - all audio tracks, all subtitle tracks. I cannot advise you on what YOU should do, but I can tell you want I do. My goal for my rips is just the main movie with the main english&german subtitels and 5.1 and stereo audio for these two languages. I also always copy the 'forced' ones over. Many of my blu rays come with double/triple english subtitels, but there is no case where I actually need more then one subtitel for the main movie, or? Since I'm already here I got another question if you don't mind: I just getting into this and want to do it right the first time. S far as i know MKVToolNix will just copy all the stuff from the mkv file minus the audio/subtitels which I didn't choose to copy over, right? I want to ask if this remove progress with MKVToolNix will in any form decrease the video quality in the new 'fixed' mkv file or is it exakt the same like the unfixed version before?

I probably got a really stupid question but I ask anyways since I'm kind of paranoid about video quality:Īfter I did mkv rips of my blu rays I use MKVToolNix GUI to remove certain unwanted audiotracks and subtitels.
