I have an .avi movie, Matroska, 1 AVC video stream and 1 DTS audio stream. I installed VeeDub.exe and unzipped MSU Subtitle Remover to the VeeDub folder but because it's Matroska, I received a message that it's an unknown file type. Is there a program that will remove embedded subtitles from a Matroksa .avi file?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

You're going to have to explain better what you really want to do here. Your post sounds like "I want to extract a subtitle file from an MKV container". However, I see a reference to the infamous MSU program, so to me that indicates that what you really are saying is "I want to know how to re-encode my video to remove a hard coded subtitle". Please confirm if I am right or not. I can't help you if I guessed right, but at least it might let others help you instead of wasting time telling you how to demux a subtitle from an MKV container.

I mentioned MSU Subtitle Remover only because I read here at VideoHelp that VeeDub and MSU Subtitle Remover would remove subtitles from .avi files. When I installed these to a folder that I named VirtualDub in C:\Programs and tried to open the .avi file using VeeDub, I received a message that said that the file is an unknown file format. Other than that, MSU is not in MediaInfo about the file.
This is copied and pasted from MediaInfo about the .avi file:

Install mkvtoolnix and use mkvmerge GUI to remove the subtitles.Most likely the file is an mkv renamed to avi.
I think,therefore i am a hamster. -
I downloaded and installed mkvtoolnix It had a link for instructions:
http://www.dvd-guides.com/content/view/157/59/
When I opened MKVextractGUI.exe as instructed, the box that opened looked nothing like the box at the site. It's white, not brown, and there is no button to press to open a file. When I tried to open the file by clicking on "File", the only options are Reset and Quit. When I tried typing the path to the file in the Open field, it wouldn't allow me to do it.
Why don't programs hardly ever work the way that they're shown on the net? It's frustrating.
Where do I go from here? -
open the .mkv with mkvtoolnix (mkvmergegui), (do not use mkvextract). You will see the video track, audio track, and 2 subtitles. Uncheckmark the 2 subtitles. Press start muxing
These don't look like embedded subs (hardcoded), they look like soft subs and you should be able to turn off -
Well, I did it. I opened mkvmerge.exe that came with mskvtoolnix. I input the file, unchecked "subtitles" and the movie no longer has subtitles! Fast and extremely easy. Thanks jons0*** ****I should have just followed what you said in your post instead of the directions that came with it.
