When I open the mvk file the embedded subtitle file does not appear I add an srt file and it appears over the original. I am unable to remove original sub.
Can anyone help please?
Welcome!
There are several possibilities here:
- The subtitles are hardcoded into the video. There’s really nothing you can do about that, neither with MKVToolNix or any other tool.
- The type of subtitles isn’t supported by MKVToolNix. You might be able to remove them with other tools, though.
- The subtitles in question are actually closed captions & embedded into the video track (interspersed with video frames, not encoded into them), which MKVToolNix doesn’t support. Same as 2., really.
- The subtitles aren’t their own track but actually an attachment. Highly unlikely, but possible. In that case you’d find them on the “attachments” tab where you could disable muxing them.
