Hi all, thanks for looking,
I made an MKV in Handbrake with 2 audio tracks, (chapters,) and no subtitle track, the file is 4.3GB. I just used mkvmerge-gui to add in an srt subtitle, and the new file was 4.2GB.
I've checked and the chapters, audio, and video all appear fine. The ending was not cut off or anything. The "remux" was quick, so I don't believe any sort of video compression happened either.
Any thoughts? Maybe mkvmerge has more efficient file structure creation then handbrake? I really don't know how this stuff works

MP4 has probably a bit higher so called overhead data. See http://www.alexander-noe.com/video/amg/en_overhead_comparison.html
