What are your input files? .srt subtitle? what video / audio streams? Do you have raw streams?

Or do you have a pre-existing .mkv container with video/audio already in it?

It's pretty easy, all you have to do is push the add button, and select whatever you want to put into the .mkv container, then push start muxing.

For the subtitles to work, you might have to rename them to the same filename as the video file before muxing

What format are your subs in?

mkvmergegui just "packages" it in the .mkv container

You need something like DirectVobSub to be able to play them back on PC

mkvmerge does not hardcode permanent subtitles, it softcodes them.

You have to re-encode with vsfilter for permanent subtitles

If you want to softsub (selectable), it should accept .srt, just enter the unicode type in the subtitle charset (in the "format specfic options" tab). I am using version 2.2.0 for mkvmerge

You could also convert them to .ssa subs, then you could specify fonts, colors, sizes and more effects

If you still can't figure it out, upload your subs here, and I'll have a look at it

Cheers

Oh, my subtittle format is Unicode, use fonts such as: Arial, News Time Roman..v...v... It's not format UTF-8, UTF-8 is format Unicode but usually on Web, I don't undetstand more between Unicode and UTF-8 . I solved my problem to add sub on mkv by way covert subtittle Unicode to UTF-8, but when i output file, The subtittle isn't display sad.gif.
_And i have one more problem, about vsfilter, it's only a file *.dll, how do i use it ?

What format is your video stream in? Can you get subs to play back outside of the .mkv container?

vsfilter is for hardcoding subs, you have to use avisynth and an encoder.

directvobsub is just for playing it back.

If you want to hardcode your subs (permanent), don't use mkvmerge, use these guides

First of all, get the version 2.33
Then, copy it into c:\windows\system32\
3rd, run "regsvr32 vsfilter.dll"
4th, run "rundll32 vsfilter.dll,DirectVobSub"
(or create a desktop shortcut with these parameters)
5th, tweak it as needed.

Thanks. I have just checked it, and it is a 100%-healthy 16-bit text file smile.gif
I thought that MKVmerge might be having issues with non-SSA unicode,
but you have just shown it's not the case. icon_salut.gif

It has to do with the numbering sequence. I don't know the technical explanation for it.

Your working file starts with "1"

The not-working file starts with "0"

If you delete the 1st entry, or edit it to start with "1", mkvmerge will accept it

I used a hex editor to examine your .SRTs (Hexplorer, to be specific).
The first two bytes of a Unicode-text are its "Unicode-ID", so to speak.
It can be either "FF FE" (little-endian) or "FE FF" (big-endian). I suppose
that a write-error occurred when that second .srt file was being saved
on the hard disk, take a look at the picture below:



I just deleted the redundant bytes (the underlined ones),
saved the result as a new .srt file, and "uêba!" ^_^
