Hello. I'm new here. Let me introduce myself before writing my question.
My name is John and my age is 45. I have done a lot with music editing in Ableton and Acid Pro. Last year I went to a convention and saw Avatar Music Video's for the first time. I was really exited and thought to handle it to.
Now I'm started my first project. One of the rules of Avatar Music Video is showing Avatar without subtitles. Some files (avi, mp4) has a built in subtitle. There's no other tool to delete them. Browsing on the internet I read MKV files are the best way to avoid subtitles. I have already an audio file and searched for the video's. 90% of the video's of my project are MKV's, so looking on the internet I found two ways of converting MKV without subtitles: virtualdub and mktoolnix.
First I tried virtualdub. This converter is converting the MKV into AVI. But the AVI is very large and wil not always working good.
The other way is mkvextract. This application is very fast and extract literally the video, audio and subtitles. But most of my MKV's are .h264 files and not AVI or MP4. So I have to convert the file again to a format Sony Vegas understand.
It cost me at least 90 minutes to get one corrected file for editing.
Is this the only way to get it work correctly? Or are there other tools witch are better to work with or is there another way for converting directly?
