I have a couple of movies that both have these files: MKV + IDX + SUB.
I would like to merge them.
How do I do this? I am looking for a solution thats easy for anybody - even me, please.
Thanx.

Ps. Can "mkvmerge GUI" do the trick?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

Yes mkvmergegui can do it.
But what are you going to play it on? It might not support mkvs with switchable sub/idx. -
I don't know what "switchable sub/idx" is/means.
I have a lot of movies on HDD that I play via WD TV LIVE on my TV. The ones I mentioned I can play because the 3 files all have the same names and they are all in the same folder.
It would be al lot "neater" if all my movies were "1 file movies". -
It means that they are embedded in the mkv and not burned in.
The wdtv live supports it but maybe not perfect see http://community.wdc.com/t5/WD-TV-Live-Firmware/Color-palette-issues-with-MKV-embedded...les/td-p/28050
ANd when you use mkvmergegui be sure to select File->Options->Disable header removal compression first or the mkv might not work on the wdtv. -
I tried to merge the 3 files with mkvmergegui (again) and I did as you suggested above,
I can play the moviefile, but there are no subs.
VLC - same problem!Last edited by dazler; 13th Feb 2012 at 10:48.

I solved it with mkvmergegui. It worked the third time around - my bad.
Thanx Baldrick.
