Why is it made so that you can directly delete tracks from inside an mkv container file, and you have to extract and repackage the mkv? Isn't it kind of annoying or is there something I'm missing and what I'm asking can be done directly?

Yep that's what i did after i posted this message. I used mkvmerge. Its just that i kept reading messages where people suggested to use mkvcleaner or mkvextractgui to first extract the needed tracks and then repackage them and that got me confused.
Anyway i would also like to note that mkvmerge takes to long. It took like 20 minutes for 3x4gb files. IS it going to take that long every time i need to insert a subtitle track? This time i used it so i could also remove a foreign language audio track, but to just insert a sub track isn't worth it, if it takes that much time... -

Wow what kind of computer do you have? I have an ssd with 500/400 read/write so its definitely not due to drive activity. Does it need a lot of cpu to package the mkv?

I have mentioned a number of times in different topics that I have 4 Seagate media players and de-selecting items in a MKV is always hit or miss re: playbackwith all of them. So, I always de-mux and remux and never have a problem. I also have a Western Digital media player and it doesn't care. Put stuff in...take stuff out.. still plays. Takes longer to load these files but they always play.

Yes you're right. Set it to a safe 4000M size. A couple of last questions so that this topic can conclude. I used split mkv to split my mkvs into 4GB files. I noticed that when i repackages files with subtitles they contained even less size than before. Not much but still what change that even with added subtitles they resulted in less size?
Also I read a compatibility issue with standalone players and the solution was to disable header compression. What is header compression and is this the reason my new mkv have now less size than before?
