iBreaker Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 I want to merge the .srt files on some old Dr. Slump movies which I got from BakaBT and are .avi files with mkvmerge. Should I change the original file from .avi into .mkv to or just keep it .avi?? What do you think?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBreaker Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 AVI and MKV are containers, not video codecs. I know, but still I want to know which container I should keep in the end for my files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathTheKid Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Just mux it as a mkv with mkvtoolnix then add your srt subtitles to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 avi isn't even capable of muxing in soft-subs as far as I'm aware. So just go with mkv. When working with softsubs; mkv is always the recommended choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen avi with soft subs and it seems that there also used to be avi with mutliple audio tracks in them. http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/208577-Dual-or-Multi-Audio-AVI-with-subtitles-%28MPEG4-XviD-DivX%29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
